SEC targets fake stock news on promotion schemes
The SEC charged 27 individuals and entities in a scheme paying writers to post bullish articles on Seeking Alpha Benzinga and Wall Street Cheat Sheet. It traced pseudonyms like Equity Options Guru and The Swiss Trader to over 450 problem articles, 250 falsely claiming no payment. Settlements totaled over 4.8 million dollars. Originators include Lidingo Holdings led by actress Kamilla Bjorn and CSIR Group run by Christine Petraglia. The agency warns investors that such articles may lack independence and investors should not rely on them alone.

Protests intensify in Venezuela over Maduro rule
Venezuelan opposition supporters again took to the streets in Caracas and other cities to denounce a deepening economic crisis and democratic erosion under President Nicolas Maduro. The protests followed a March Supreme Court move against the opposition-led Congress, a backlash that intensified after a comptroller banned opposition figure Henrique Capriles. International pressure grew as Brazil and the OAS urged a return to full democracy and a swift election timeline. Clashes with security forces occurred as protesters blocked major routes and tear gas dispersed crowds.
