Real Estate Mogul Sergio Pino Dead Amid FBI Probe Into Alleged Murder-For-Hire Plots Against Wife
Sergio Pino, a 67-yearold Miami real estate mogul, was found dead in his $8 million waterfront mansion on July 16, just as FBI agents were about to arrest him on suspicion of multiple plots to kill his estranged wife, Tatiana Pino. Pino’s attorneys claim that the aggressive response from federal law enforcement led him to take his own life.
The FBI had been investigating Pino since July 2022 for allegedly orchestrating multiple attempts to kill his wife, including poisoning, arson, a hit-and-run, and two gun-related attempts. Court documents reveal that Pino had been trying to kill his wife since 2019, with the most recent attempt occurring in June.
Tatiana Pino had filed for divorce in April 2022, citing concerns for her safety. In a deposition, she alleged that her husband had been poisoning her with fentanyl for several years. The FBI later confirmed that Pino had tampered with his wife’s medication, using the potent opioid to try to kill her.
The investigation also revealed that Pino had hired a crew of men to commit violent acts against his wife, including arsons and a hitand-run. One of the alleged co-conspirators, Bayron Bennett, told authorities that Pino had asked him to assemble a crew to commit these acts.
Tatiana Pino’s daughter, Alessandra, called 911 on June 23 after a suspect grabbed her and pointed a gun at her head. The 911 call captured her horrified reaction, saying, “There’s a gun, there’s a guy with a gun, please.”
Pino’s death marks the end of a five-year campaign of violence and intimidation against his wife and loved ones. The FBI’s investigation and the allegations against Pino paint a picture of a desperate and ruthless individual who would stop at nothing to maintain his wealth and influence.

Elon Musk’s $1 Million Giveaway Under DOJ Investigation for Potential Legal Violations
Elon Musk’s recent $1 million giveaway has drawn attention from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which is reportedly scrutinizing the legality of the contest. This giveaway, widely promoted on social media, promised substantial cash prizes to select followers but has now raised concerns about compliance with federal sweepstakes laws. The DOJ’s focus is on whether the giveaway followed proper disclosures and legal requirements, including fair entry rules and transparency. This legal scrutiny adds a new layer of complexity to Musk’s ventures, as he continues to attract both media and regulatory attention with high-profile initiatives. The case underscores the importance of adhering to regulations, even in promotional activities led by influential public figures. The outcome could impact future online giveaways hosted by prominent personalities.

ExxonMobil Boosts Guyana Oil Output, Guyana Offers Free Tuition Ahead of Elections
ExxonMobil Guyana has announced plans to increase oil production from its Stabroek block by 18,000 barrels per day (bpd). The capacity of the Unity floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel will increase from 252,000 bpd to 270,000 bpd, pending approval from local authorities. ExxonMobil Guyana currently produces 665,000 bpd, and future developments include the Hammerhead project, which aims to produce 120,000-180,000 bpd. The company’s investment is set to further strengthen Guyana’s economy as it grows into a major oil producer.
In political developments, President Irfaan Ali has announced several benefits ahead of Guyana’s upcoming elections. The new incentives include free college tuition and a one-time cash handout of nearly $1,000 per household, benefiting 264,000 families. The minimum wage will also increase from $350 to $500 starting next year, aimed at reducing the cost of living for Guyanese citizens.
Guyana’s economy, bolstered by its growing oil sector, saw a remarkable 60% GDP growth in 2022, the highest in the world, according to the IMF. To further utilize oil revenues, the government is launching various infrastructure projects, including hospitals, schools, and a $1.9 billion gas-to-energy initiative.
At the same time, the 115th COTED meeting on agriculture in CARICOM is tackling challenges like climate change and underdeveloped agricultural value chains, working towards the 25 by 2025 Food Security Initiative.
