The Islanders are in as good a position to add at Friday’s trade deadline as anyone could have envisioned at the start of the season five months ago.

He may be one of the best players in the NFL, but Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett isn’t great at following traffic laws. The 2025 Defensive Player of the Year was cited for driving 94 mph in a 70-mph zone on Interstate 71 in Congress Township, Ohio, which is between Cleveland and Columbus, back on Feb. 21, according to court records.This speeding ticket marks the ninth since Garrett has entered the NFL since his rookie season in 2017, which includes a scary moment where he flipped his Porsche in 2022 after an incident where speeding was a factor. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMGarrett was cited then for going 65 mph in a 45-mph zone at the time. Garrett was also driving a Porsche during this traffic stop, as the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office pulled over the Browns star as he was going 24 mph over the speed limit in the early hours last month. Before being pulled over, Garrett was spotted at a college basketball game between Bowling Green and Miami of Ohio in Oxford, which is near Cincinnati. NFL STAR MYLES GARRETT TURNS PHOTOGRAPHER FOR GIRLFRIEND CHLOE KIM’S HISTORIC OLYMPIC QUESTPrior to this ticket, Garrett was pulled over during Browns training camp on Aug. 9, where he was driving 100 mph in a 60-mph zone in Strongsville, Ohio, which is near the team’s Berea training facility. The Browns had just returned home from their preseason matchup against the Carolina Panthers, which led to a $250 fine for Garrett as well. He was peppered with questions from the media about his speeding past following his then-eighth citation, but he declined to respond. “I’d honestly prefer to talk about football and this team than anything I’m doing off the field other than the back-to-school event that I did the other day,” Garrett said to media on Aug. 20.Garrett added that he tried to “keep my personal life personal. And I’d rather focus on this team when I can.”It was hard not to ask Garrett about what happened in 2022, when he suffered a shoulder and biceps strains, among other less serious injuries, after his car flipped over. He had to miss the team’s Week 4 contest against the Atlanta Falcons, though he returned to his normal self that year. He had 16 sacks and two forced fumbles in 16 games for Cleveland. This past year, Garrett broke the single-season sack record (23) with a league-high 33 tackles for loss in an insane campaign that made him a lock for the Defensive Player of the Year Award in his ninth season for the Browns. He had now made it three straight first-team All-Pro honors and five overall. But Garrett will now have to either appear in court on March 10, or pay a fine of more than $100 for his latest speeding ticket, per WKYC in Cleveland. After signing a then-record four-year, $160 million extension with Cleveland last year, the latter is likely the option he’ll choose. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Ex-OpenAI Researcher’s Hedge Fund Reveals Big Bitcoin Miner Bets In New SEC filing

Authored by Christina Comben via cointelegraph,

Leopold Aschenbrenner has built a US stock portfolio heavily concentrated in companies that supply the power and infrastructure behind the artificial intelligence boom.

The former OpenAI researcher, who left the lab’s superalignment team to launch San Francisco-based hedge fund Situational Awareness LP, has expanded it from $383 million in assets in early 2025 to a reported $5.52 billion in equity positions in its latest 13F filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

The fund’s 13F filing for Q4 2025 shows a highly concentrated portfolio built around betting that the real winners of the AI boom won’t be chatbots, but the power plants and data centers that feed them. Situational Awareness reported $5.52 billion in US equity positions across 29 holdings, with a large share of that value clustered in a handful of AI infrastructure names.

Those include graphics processing unit (GPU) cloud provider CoreWeave, fuel cell and power specialist Bloom Energy, Intel, optics maker Lumentum and Bitcoin miner-turned-AI infrastructure play Core Scientific. 

Aschenbrenner first drew attention as a precocious AI thinker after publishing a widely read “Situational Awareness” manifesto on the race to advanced AI, then quickly parlayed that profile into capital. His San Francisco-based AI hedge fund now manages more than $1.5 billion, backed by prominent tech founders, family offices and institutions.

Aschenbrenner has been a substantial net buyer quarter-on-quarter, with Situational Awareness’ 13-F reported US equity and options portfolio increasing from about $254 million in Q4 2024 to more than $5.5 billion by Q4 2025. Over that period, the fund built sizable positions in Bitcoin miners and related energy infrastructure firms including IREN, Cipher Mining, Riot Platforms, Bitdeer and Applied Digital.

Bitcoin miners pivot from hashrate to horsepower

The bet aligns with a broader shift already reshaping Bitcoin mining. After the latest halving squeezed block rewards, large miners have started repurposing their high-density, power-rich sites as AI hosting hubs, treating megawatts and data center space as scarce assets in the new compute economy rather than just hashrate.

Core Scientific, for example, has signed a series of 12-year high-performance computing hosting contracts with AI cloud firm CoreWeave, while MARA acquired a 64% stake in French computing infrastructure operator Exaion, expanding into AI and cloud services.

Situational Awareness disclosed a 9.4% stake in Core Scientific via an amended Schedule 13D, representing 28,756,478 shares with shared voting and disposition power, effectively giving the fund a levered bet on CoreWeave’s expansion and the miner’s pivot from pure Bitcoin to AI and high-performance computing.

At the same time, the fund has taken aim at the other side of the AI transition with a short position in Indian IT giant Infosys, a wager that large language models and AI coding tools will pressure the traditional outsourced software services model.

Fairfax County cops warned Virginia prosecutors last year that illegal immigrant Abdul Jalloh belonged behind bars — but he was free to allegedly kill last month.

In a 24-19 bipartisan vote, GOP Reps. Tim Burchett (Tenn.), Lauren Boebert (Col.), Nancy Mace (SC), Scott Perry (Pa), and Michael Cloud (Michael) joined Democrats in backing the subpoena after Bondi.

The family of a woman allegedly killed by her husband has retained an attorney and is seeking information on the couple’s finances, including a life insurance policy listing the accused as the “primary beneficiary.”Caleb Flynn, 39, who was once a contestant on “American Idol”, was charged with murder after he allegedly killed his wife, Ashley Flynn, at the couple’s home in Tipp City, Ohio, on Feb. 16. Police said Caleb Flynn “staged the crime scene,” and audio from a 911 call shows him telling the operator that someone broke into his house and shot Ashley Flynn.Caleb Flynn was charged with murder, two counts of felonious assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of tampering with evidence, but a Miami County court official told Fox News Digital that the prosecutor is considering additional charges. He has pleaded not guilty, and his bond was set at $2 million.Prosecutors alleged in court documents that Caleb Flynn used a 9mm handgun and staged the crime scene, which caused officers to be “led estray” [sic].Attorneys for the family of Ashley Flynn on Wednesday filed court documents asking for information on Caleb and Ashley Flynn’s financials. According to the court filing, Caleb Flynn was listed as the “primary beneficiary” on a life insurance policy. Fox News Digital is not naming the family members behind the court filing.VIDEO SHOWS EX-‘AMERICAN IDOL’ CONTESTANT’S EMOTIONAL OUTBURST AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY KILLED HIS WIFEThe court filing also asks for information on the couple’s bank accounts, retirement accounts, real estate, cars and other financial records. Ashley Flynn’s family said that Caleb Flynn “has the motive, opportunity, and means to dissipate these assets, to transfer them to third parties, or to otherwise place them beyond the reach of the children and the estate.”Ashley Flynn’s family also asked the court to issue a domestic violence temporary protection order that would prevent Caleb Flynn from withdrawing funds from the couple’s financial accounts beyond necessary living expenses.If Caleb Flynn is convicted, under Ohio’s “Slayer Statute,” he would not be eligible to get proceeds from life insurance policies he’s listed as a beneficiary of, and they would go to the children. The statute also applies to inheritance under a will, trust and certain other financial policies.SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTERCaleb Flynn voluntarily agreed to talk with detectives at the Tipp City Police Department at the station, according to the case report. According to the court documents, two gun shell casings were found on the floor in a bedroom.Police also noticed that the center console of a 2024 Ford truck parked in the garage was open, which is the same place Caleb Flynn allegedly told an officer he stored his handgun.SEND US A TIP HERETipp City police recently released video showing Caleb Flynn as police responded to the crime scene.”Oh, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,” Caleb Flynn said while sobbing in one video.LISTEN TO THE NEW ‘CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO’ PODCAST”Is she, is she gone?” he asked. “What do I do with my daughters?” “Mommy, she’s gone. I don’t know what to do,” Caleb Flynn said to his mother on the phone.LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

The children’s grandmother was seen comforting Caleb Flynn as he said: “The girls don’t know.” The couple had two daughters, whom Caleb Flynn said were asleep at the time their mother was killed, according to the bodycam video.In the 911 call obtained by Fox News Digital, Caleb Flynn told the 911 dispatcher that he found the door leading to the garage door “wide open” when the shooting happened.In a supplemental case report, a Tipp City police officer wrote that a garage side door was open, but was blocked.”As we exited this master bedroom we walked to the garage where we observed a side door to the garage on the north side of the home that was open. As we were looking at the door we noticed the door had a large fridge in front of it that would’ve had to be pushed to open the door,” the officer wrote.Fox News Digital’s Julia Bonavita contributed to this report.

TUCSON, Ariz. — As a growing memorial outside Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson-area home continues to draw visitors, new questions are emerging about whether investigators are monitoring the site. Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, is believed to have been abducted from her home in the early hours of Feb. 1.”They could [have eyes on the memorial], we’re just not seeing it,” Betsy Brantner Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association and a retired police sergeant, tells Fox News Digital. “They could be keeping track of it, but we’re not seeing the cameras.”FORMER FBI AGENT OFFERS NEW THEORY ABOUT NANCY GUTHRIE’S DISAPPEARANCE: ‘PERSONAL GRIEVANCE’Yellow flowers, handwritten notes, artwork and even an open letter addressed to the “kidnapper” have been left at the makeshift tribute in front of her home.While the memorial grows, however, visible law enforcement presence has significantly dropped.”Detectives are reviewing all viable leads in this case,” a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department told Fox News Digital. “We do not speak to specifics, as this is still an ongoing investigation.”Authorities have not publicly identified a suspect, vehicle or any persons of interest.MULTIPLE SUSPECTS ARE POSSIBLE IN NANCY GUTHRIE’S ABDUCTIONHaunting Nest doorbell camera video shows a masked man on Nancy Guthrie’s front steps around the time of her abduction. He is described as being of average height and build and was wearing a black Ozark Trail backpack.”In this type of situation where you have the potential for a suspect having done this because he or she is somehow obsessed with Savannah Guthrie or seeing Nancy featured on the ‘Today Show’ multiple times… someone who is obsessed with notoriety, celebrity — there’s a lot of pathology involved in that,” Brantner Smith said.FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X”Potentially, that is the type of person that could come back to the memorial, look at the memorial, even take photos of the memorial and add to the memorial themselves.”As to why there’s been an alleged lack of law enforcement presence monitoring the site, Brantner Smith pointed to one likely scenario.SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER”It may be because they have solid suspects, and they just haven’t released that information to the public,” she said. It’s not uncommon for an offender to return to the crime scene, she added.SEND US A TIP HERE”Sometimes the offender will come back to the scene of the crime. So, in that vein, they would come to the memorial, and they may have left their own note, their own flowers,” she said.Often, it’s a mark of their arrogance, she told Fox News Digital.”I am guessing that the suspect or suspects who did this are frankly taking great pride in the fact that so far they’ve got away with it,” she added. “Coming back can also be a way to bring back that rush that they had when they originally committed the crime.”LISTEN TO THE NEW ‘CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO’ PODCASTSuch behavior happens frequently in arson cases, she said. “But it’s also not untypical in a homicide case or, in this case, a missing person,” she continued. “We’ve got to look at the psychology of people who do this kind of stuff. They also may want to come back to see what kind of people are leaving notes, and leaving flowers.”For that reason, she said, investigators should be reading the notes to develop potential leads.”They’re coming back to see the impact that they had on this neighborhood and on this family,” she said. “And the rest of us would view that as very sick, but law enforcement has to view that as a way to collect clues.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? FIND MORE ON THE TRUE CRIME HUBSavannah, her sister Annie, and brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, placed flowers at the growing tribute near the foot of Nancy’s driveway on Monday in a somber visit to the crime scene.A combined reward for information that leads to Nancy’s recovery from the FBI, local authorities and the Guthrie family stands at over $1 million. It has not yet been claimed.Savannah is asking anyone with information to dial 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Map Shows Latest U.S. Robotaxi Deployment

Goldman analysts, led by Eric Sheridan, updated clients this week on the latest developments in the North American autonomous vehicle rideshare market. They point out that the AV rideshare market continues to expand as Uber, Lyft, Waymo, and Zoox roll out AV operations nationwide.

Readers will notice that the commercial AV deployments this year, including Uber, Lyft, Waymo, and Zoox (Tesla in Texas), are full steam ahead.

One of the most fascinating charts Sheridan produced for clients shows the miles between accidents for Waymo and Tesla.

Here’s more on the safety data:

Based on available crash data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) from July 2025 through mid-January 2026, and disclosures from Waymo (for all US cities it’s operating in commercially) and Tesla (for Austin) around trips/miles driven by their respective robotaxi services, we estimate that Tesla has an accident (regardless of fault) every 45K-60K miles, while Waymo has an accident (regardless of fault) every 60K-110K miles. We note that these datapoints reflect driverless miles (including those with a safety observer/monitor for Tesla) and do not include manually operated vehicles and accidents in cities without public rides being offered. We show estimated monthly miles between accidents for both companies in Exhibit 1. Note that Tesla’s miles between accidents were ~1.5K miles in July and Tesla did not have any reported accidents in August. Further, note that January data only captures known/reported accidents through January 15th and further accidents are typically reported in the following month’s data (i.e., February data).

Note that because Tesla’s fleet in Austin is a mix of vehicles, both with and without a safety monitor, and because there are differences in where the rides are occurring (with Waymo operating commercially in more cities), the data may not be directly comparable. In addition, reports are filed with NHTSA even for minor issues that would be unlikely to be reported by a human (e.g. driving over a curb), and not all accidents are the fault of the AV.

Goldman has told clients that the AV rideshare buildout is still in its early stages and is set to accelerate from here.

In January, Elon Musk told BlackRock CEO Larry Fink at Davos that Tesla expects to operate a “widespread” robotaxi network by the end of this year.

It is only a matter of time before taxi drivers and human Uber drivers begin to revolt against AVs gaining deeper penetration in the rideshare market. That shift should become increasingly visible over the next several years, with the impact likely to be far more noticeable by 2028 and beyond.
