Fired US Center for SafeSport investigator arrested on new charges
An ex-cop fired from his job as an investigator at the U.S. Center for SafeSport for allegedly stealing money seized at a drug bust has been arrested again, this time charged with rape and sex trafficking. Jason Krasley, a former police officer in Allentown, Pennsylvania, was arrested Friday and charged with felony rape and involuntary sexual servitude for crimes allegedly committed while he was on the force between 2011 and 2015, according to a news release from the district attorney's office. Krasley left the department in 2021 and went to work for the SafeSport Center, which fired him last year shortly after learning he'd been arrested for allegedly stealing $5,500 from a drug bust he helped conduct while on the force.

Hedge funds increased bearish bets ahead of Friday's blowout US jobs report, banks say
Global hedge funds added more bets against U.S. stocks over the last week through Jan 9, ahead of a blowout U.S. jobs report that sparked a sell-off on Wall Street, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs said in notes on Friday. The U.S. Labor Department's closely watched employment report on Friday showed job growth accelerated to 256,000 jobs in December, the most since March, while the unemployment fell to 4.1%. Morgan Stanley said portfolio managers increased shorts - or bets stocks will fall - in sectors such as staples, software, financials and healthcare in the days ahead of the jobs report, while they sold long positions in communication services.
