How The Man Who Was Rejected By Lamborghini Created Pagani
Horacio Pagani is an Argentine-Italian businessman and engineer in the automotive industry. He is the founder of Pagani Automobili S.p.A., an Italian specialty auto-maker. Prior to founding his own company, Pagani worked for Renault and Lamborghini.
You may know Pagani today as a manufacturer of luxury cars, but the history behind the company’s establishment is much more inspiring than you might have guessed. Pagani did not start as just any company that wanted to produce nice cars. Pagani started as a revolution. And the man behind that revolution is Horacio Pagani.
Before he founded his supercar company, he was repeatedly rejected by Lamborghini and Ferrari. These companies did not have any faith in Pagani’s ideas. Rather than get discouraged, Pagani took out a loan and built his dream car against all the odds. Today, Pagani is the producer of some of the world’s fastest, rarest, most luxurious cars.

A $300K Diamond Went Missing At The Monaco Grand Prix In A F1 Crash
It was a race for the history books, filled with excitement and high-stakes action. When the green flag dropped, it seemed like nothing could stop the drivers from going fast. However, that all changed when a crash involving several F1 cars resulted in the loss of a diamond worth more than $300,000. Can you imagine the chaos that must have ensued when this happened? But to make sense of all these, we must travel back as far as 2004.
In what is being called one of the most expensive diamond thefts in history, a $300,000 diamond went missing from the Monaco Grand Prix. Its fate has also been a mystery ever since it vanished in 2004. Is this a sign that the racing world is becoming too commercial? Is the integrity of sport being compromised? Whatever the case, the Monaco Grand Prix Diamond Heist is a tale that will live on in the annals of Formula 1. In the long run, this is the weirdest Formula 1 story no one wants to talk about.

How Drug Lords Use Gold To Launder Money
Pablo Escobar, Joaquin Guzman, Dario Antonio… The unending list of drug cartels goes on and on. For these people, money is obviously not an issue. But they always have a big problem; transferring huge sums of money without raising any suspicion. So how do they go about this? By using suitcases? Or saving money in the bank? Actually, they launder money to disguise the source of their wealth by various means. Then they are free to live a luxurious life without having federal agencies on their watch.
What’s the point of burying billions of dollar when a lot of that money is being eaten by rats? For a very long time, the most prevalent money laundering method these drug cartels used was by investing in the gold business. In the most recent addition to a series of gold-based money-laundering schemes, a criminal organization in Colombia is converting illegal currency into tainted gold. In order to conceal the fact that it is not pure, the tainted gold is either sold under the pretense that it was obtained in Colombia or is fashioned into jewelry locally. Ultimately, it is important to tell the tale of how drug lords hide their money.
