Major US city announces ambitious plan to combat endless traffic gridlock: 'Momentous'

Yahoo02-03-2025
Eight years may sound like a long time — but for Austinites sick of endless gridlock and rush hour traffic, a new light rail project just might be worth the wait.
And now, after a brief delay, the Austin Light Rail project is finally moving forward, CBS Austin reports. The proposed electric light rail will span ten miles with fifteen stations, linking several popular areas of the city, including the University of Texas campus.
"This momentous transportation investment will offer an all-new transit experience, running reliably every 5 to 10 minutes to connect people to major job centers, education hubs, and iconic Austin destinations," the Austin Transit Partnership announced in its latest update.

Residents are equally as optimistic about the benefits of the project.
"Austin desperately needs a better transportation system," Jose Villegas told CBS. He had tried using the existing bus system but found it unreliable: "It would be nice to see a different kind of technology, different kind of mobility. They're always arriving ten minutes early or twenty minutes late, so you always have to be guessing."
Another resident, Ben Elvis Mettin, echoed Villegas' frustrations, calling the highway "an early form of torture."
Not only will the rail help create public transit options for those who don't want to be bound to the expense and the inconvenience of cars, but it will also benefit the environment. Electric railways are key to reducing the planet-warming pollution from car traffic. Taking cars off the road also benefits residents by drastically improving air quality and reducing noise pollution, both of which have been linked to multiple negative health impacts.
While the design phase is expected to last for the remainder of 2025, the ATP team is optimistic that construction will begin by 2027 and the project will be complete by 2033.
"Eight years is a long time," Villegas acknowledged, "but if it's going to give us a better future for all Austinites and people who move here, might as well, right?"

Finding Dora

Months ago, Ahmet Tozal took out three credit card loans and withdrew his life savings to make a fortune off crypto. The 44-year-old Turkish garment worker, who lived in Istanbul at the time, said he'd been goaded by a new friend who contacted him via a random WhatsApp message in 2023. The woman claimed she'd messaged him accidentally, but was friendly and seemed interested in Turkey, Tozal said. She told him she was a wealthy businesswoman who would soon be visiting his country on holiday. Tozal said she sent him dozens of photos of herself, a young East Asian woman traveling the world and attending prestigious conferences. He said they video-called once, for a few seconds. Eventually, she suggested he try investing in crypto. The trajectory of their relationship has the hallmarks of what global authorities call a classic pig-butchering scam, typically run by gangs in Asia. Tozal said that over several weeks, the woman convinced him to invest about 400,000 Turkish lira, or a year's worth of his wages, into a cryptocurrency called UAI Coin. It never existed. Tozal told me he lost everything. Saddled with debt and broke, Tozal moved alone to Uzbekistan to find a higher salary that could feed his family and pay off an extra 200,000 lira in loan interest. His wife and four children stayed behind in Turkey. "Whenever I think about it, it makes one almost go mad," he told me on a call from his shared apartment in Andijan. Pig-butchering, a crypto scam that started in China, is now a global crisis. It draws its name from the concept of fattening a pig before slaughter: The purveyors build a relationship with a mark over weeks or months before persuading them to give away or invest large sums. A 2024 University of Texas study estimated that $75 billion has been lost to such schemes since 2020. In 2023, the Heartland Tri-State Bank in Kansas went bankrupt after its CEO poured $47 million of company cash into a similar scam. Tozal has little chance of recovering his money, and dozens of other men say they were fooled by the same scam. Betrayed and desperate for any restitution possible, they latched onto the only lead they could find: the woman behind the screen. Who was she? Each of the men had photos and videos of her, the young East Asian woman who seemed to be living the high life, but not much else to go on. As they hunted for answers, their stories of loss and grievance would come to haunt a person thousands of miles away, a millennial trying to make a name for herself on Instagram. For months, as he was lured into the crypto trap, Tozal knew her only as Dora. Over nine months, I spoke with more than a dozen men from around the world — many in Central and West Asia — who say they've been affected by this specific pig-butchering scam. While their experiences varied, each one was tricked with the likeness of the same Asian woman. Seven of these men, including Tozal, agreed to full interviews. I verified all of their identities, and they showed me evidence of their online interactions. Several also showed me screenshots of their financial transactions. Many were unwilling to be named and said they did not report their losses to the authorities for fear of being seen as fools and damaging their reputations. Some said they'd fallen in love with their WhatsApp acquaintance; Tozal said he and Dora were strictly friends. The men come from different companies and walks of life. The common denominator? They all had jobs and thus a source of cash. Aamy Ace, a 44-year-old Indian pharmaceutical manufacturing worker, said he was cheated out of $12,000 meant for his father's cancer treatment. Another man, a 24-year-old Kazakhstani restaurant manager in Almaty named Amir, said he borrowed and lost $8,000 — 10 times his monthly salary. They remember different names. Some said they spoke to "Jasmine" for weeks, while others knew her as "Anna." Several, like Tozal, told me their contact was "Dora." The playbook for this scam is standardized. Men like Tozal would receive a cold text and slowly be persuaded to strike up a friendship or romance with the texter. All were sent photos of the same young Asian woman. "A very standard hook is an attractive person, male or female, coming in and saying: 'Oh yeah, I have a business opportunity, I'm going to come see you soon,'" said Joshua James, a cybercrime coordinator in Bangkok with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Eventually, their contacts convinced them to invest in a fake asset. Most of the men said they put their money into a faux cryptocurrency called UAI Coin. A mobile app and fake trading website lent a sheen of legitimacy to the setup. At first, the profits seemed eye-watering. Erdi Bilgiç, a 36-year-old Turkish electrician in Zonguldak, told me his initial $100 investment turned into $500 overnight in late 2023. Bilgiç, calling himself an avid investor, said he tracks stock prices and bitcoin almost daily, and felt UAI Coin's prices moved in sync with the market. He said that when he withdrew his initial gains, he received the full sum in his bank account. Emboldened, he took out a $1,500 loan at Dora's behest, gathered his life's savings of about $10,000, and put them all in UAI Coin. "She told me: 'Sell your car, sell this, sell that,'" he said. Losing it all To Tozal and Bilgiç, it seemed as though there was only one woman contacting them. But scam gangs, many based in Southeast Asia, are known to force human-trafficked victims to work in teams, sometimes with multiple people posing as the same woman in conversation with a mark. The US Institute of Peace estimated in 2024 that some 220,000 trafficked victims are involved in scams. "Judging by a lot of testimonies of survivors of human trafficking coming from scam compounds, many of them were being asked to pose as attractive young ladies," said Mina Chiang, founder of Humanity Research Consultancy, a UK-registered anti-trafficking social enterprise. To make their ploy more convincing, gangs have a woman take part in occasional video calls or voice messages. Several men in the Dora scam told me they received voice messages and forwarded them to me. A few, including Tozal, also said they had brief video calls. These tactics helped to convince them that Dora was real, they told me. Once the men's savings are invested, the critical point of the scam unfolds. The victims discover they can't withdraw their funds, and the scammers try squeezing them for more. "It is what it is. My money is gone." Tozal said he asked Dora for help and was directed to pay a tax-related fine to unlock his account. When that didn't work, he said, an engineer's fee was required. He said he knew then that he'd been fooled. The funds he lost, including his debt, are worth about $15,000 now, in a country where the average worker earns $7,300 a year. "It is what it is. My money is gone," Tozal said. Others said they've lost even more. A 50-year-old Turkish academic in Ankara said he and his wife had sold their apartment to save for a new city-center flat and dumped that money, along with $50,000 he convinced relatives to invest, into UAI Coin. He showed me a police report he made in Ankara, in which he reported losing more than $100,000 to the scam. "I asked myself, how am I going to live? I can survive, but I have a daughter in school," he said. Now, he added, he and his wife are working weekends and second jobs to make ends meet. Finding Dora In the spring of 2024, the group scamming Tozal appeared to make a mistake. As the men nursed their wounded pride, some received an email offering further help. The sender neglected to blind carbon copy each victim's email address, and the men began to contact each other. They gathered on WhatsApp groups and social media, swapping stories of how they'd been fooled by UAI Coin. Soon, they realized they'd all been talking to the same woman. Younger ones, like Bilgiç the electrician, put her photos into a reverse Google image search. They found someone. She wasn't Dora, or Jasmine, or Anna: Her name was Abe. "I can't be sure 100% it's her, but the videos and photos that we saw online were consistent," Bilgiç said. Abe is a Malaysian woman, they learned. She lives over 5,000 miles from Tozal and Bilgiç and runs a public Instagram account. Her name quickly spread among the men. To those like Tozal, it seemed like the first real step to getting their money back. But as I soon discovered, this woman wasn't the mastermind of an audacious lonelyhearts scam; she was a different kind of victim. Abe Lim was 20 minutes late when we met at a café in Kuala Lumpur's upscale shopping district. Traffic was crazy that morning. "I'm so sorry," said the 29-year-old, sheepish as we shook hands. Lim was easy to find online, and once I got in touch with her, she was keen to talk. She has some 175,000 followers on Instagram, where she posts roughly twice or thrice a week, often glamour or fashion shots of herself. Lim told me her personal brand's focus is the climate crisis. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Abe Lim (@abe.1) Her family, she said, runs a petrochemical business that she left to build a social media following as an environmentalist. In 2023, she ran for a local state parliament seat while campaigning on climate action, but lost. Lim's day job is running a plastics recycling company she founded in 2021. She posts photos from conferences and symposiums across Asia and the US, and snaps of herself on holiday in Bali and at Buckingham Palace. The array of photos found its way into the phones of men like Bilgiç and Tozal, who believed "Dora" was a charitable multimillionaire. Sometime in late 2023, Lim said, she started receiving online messages from these men. She thought little of it at first. "Because I've sort of put myself in the public spotlight, I felt like it was expected," she said. In early 2024, she said, the men began contacting her friends and family and claiming she'd defrauded them out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. There were rumors of self-harm or suicide. "You're like, OK, this is serious now," she said. As the year went on, Lim was trapped in an escalating online storm. Messages flooded her inbox and Instagram comments. She said she received dozens of emails and texts a day and showed me several on her phone. Lim was all smiles in her interview, but her fatigue and frustration were palpable. "It's mentally draining," Lim said. Some heartbroken men tried to rekindle a nonexistent relationship with her; others sent threats, she said. For the first few months of 2024, she told me, she feared leaving her home in Malaysia. Lim now tries to delay her social media posts by a few days to keep her live location secret. "There were messages that said like: 'I'll fly down to kill you, track you down and make you pay for what you did,'" Lim said. The men were divided on whether Lim was "Dora" or an unwitting victim of someone pretending to be her. Some, like Bilgiç, said she clearly wasn't the woman they had chatted with. Several sent me recordings of their video calls, which showed East or Southeast Asian women holding up a hand or using a camera angle to obscure their faces. "Internet connection is not good," said a woman in one video I viewed. She was clearly not Lim. 'Should I compensate them?' As Lim and I sipped tea in Malaysia, she explained how she was grappling with a dilemma. With her personal brand living on Instagram, how much time should she spend defending her reputation and speaking out against scams? Should she stop posting? Her brand was about the climate crisis, not going to war against fraud. "I have a platform, it's not that hard for me," she said. "But do I want to be known as the person that combats this?" In February 2024, she posted several warnings about scams on Instagram. Some of the men were insisting she was liable for their losses because her images were used. "They say they know it's not you, but it's your photos anyway, so you should take some responsibility of compensating them with some amount," she said. Lim said she considered paying some of them until her family talked her out of it. "I had a lot of guilt," Lim said. "I felt like, would these allegations have appeared if I had brought this up in public earlier?" 'Who are you going to sue?' James, the UNODC cybercrime coordinator, said Lim fits the profile of a content creator whose images are farmed by scam rings. "This is actually just a third party that has nothing at all to do with anything in the scam, and they sometimes have to even suffer the legal consequences afterward. Because, who are you going to sue?" James said. For swindlers, Lim's account was perfect. She was not well-known enough for a target to recognize her, and she frequently posted photos of herself in new outfits or at public events — a wealth of content to exploit. Online footage and voice data can also be fed to an artificial intelligence algorithm to create a face filter for use in video calls, James added. In Lim's case, several victims sent me screenshots of video calls with scam workers, which appeared to feature AI-empowered deepfake face filters. When analyzing the screenshots, James said some images were highly suspicious, with tell-tale features of AI filters such as discoloration on the edges of the face and crispness around hair. He added that varying chin shapes and neck bumps in the webcam images also indicated the victims were likely called by at least two different women using deepfake filters. "I would say it is very likely the images with white are deepfakes," James said. Fraudsters, roaming free Lim said what frustrates her most is that she's reported dozens of Instagram and Facebook accounts using her name and photos. Many were not taken down. A Facebook search of her name shows her photos on a dozen accounts purported to be of women living in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. Some claim to run a plastics recycling company with the same name as Lim's firm. "If you have a verified account with this face," Lim said, pointing to herself. "You shouldn't allow an account with the same photo to stay up." A spokesperson for Meta, which runs Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, told me via email that it was committed to keeping its platforms safe and that it continues to "invest in detection technology and work with law enforcement to prosecute scammers." "Impersonation is against Meta's policies and we remove these accounts when they're found," the spokesperson wrote. The company said it dealt with 1 billion fake accounts on its platforms in the first quarter of this year. Meta did not comment on Lim's case specifically. Legally, Lim can't do much to compel Meta, which is headquartered in California, to take down accounts using her images, said Eric Goldman, the codirector of the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University. "In the United States, Facebook may have no obligation to intervene to shut down or correct scam accounts," he said. US law protects social media firms from liability for third-party content posted on their platforms. Meanwhile, Bilgiç and other victims in Turkey have engaged local lawyers in hopes of suing whoever took their money or compelling their arrest. It'll be a long shot. "It's the general principle of criminal law. If you cannot find the person committing the crime, your hands are tied," Tarık Güleryüz, a partner at the Turkish law firm Güleryüz Partners, told me about the country's legal standards. James, the UNODC anti-cybercrime coordinator, said perpetrators know the world's law enforcement system is ill-equipped to deal with pig-butchering scams. A victim's best hope is an international coalition involving Turkey, Malaysia, and wherever the culprits are located, James said. China, a country with considerable influence in Laos and Cambodia, has performed cross-border raids there, mostly against scam rings targeting Chinese citizens. For countries like Turkey and Malaysia, nearly 5,200 miles apart, the best the men can do is hope and wait. These days, Lim is posting frequently on social media and is trying to grow her brand as an environmentalist. "All I lost was some reputation and photos. I didn't lose money, I didn't go through heartbreak with someone who didn't exist," Lim said. This year, she enrolled in a master's program for sustainable development management at Sunway University in Selangor. Tozal, who lost his life savings to "Dora," is also trying to move on. He said his wife was furious with him, and when I asked last month how their relationship was faring, Tozal said he's just trying to focus on working to support his family. He travels to see his children once every six months or so. Sitting in the kitchen of the Uzbek flat he shares with a roommate, he wondered aloud if he should blame himself. Years ago, he'd seen news reports of men falling for scams and marveled at how they could be fooled. "But when you see bits of a luxurious life coming your way, when you see the money coming into your account, inevitably you start feeling a type of way, even if you don't want to," Tozal said. He was just being human, he said. Now, he's in a foreign land, working alone. Translation by Ezgi Evrim Ozkol and Evgeniya Strygina.

Breaking Down The Top 20 College Football Stars' 2025 NIL Tax Bills

The 2025 college football season is upon us, with the University of Texas as the pre-season top-ranked team according to the AP rankings. As documented by Opendorse, the money that college athletes earn from their Name, Image, and Likeness last year has eclipsed $1.6 billion with 'no signs of slowing down'. However, with big earnings comes big tax bills. This article highlights the 20 college football players with the most lucrative NIL valuations and breaks down what these athletes can expect to pay in taxes in 2025. The Taxation Of NIL Following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in O'Bannon vs. NCAA, college athletes were permitted to earn money related to their NIL. This decision led to the NCAA implementing rules that went into effect, paving the way for athletes to do this without sacrificing their eligibility to play collegiate sports. Athletes are now deriving income from many sources. For instance, athletes are now permitted to serve as spokespeople for companies by appearing in commercials, much like quarterbacks Arch Manning and Garrett Nussmeier, who recently appeared in a commercial for the restaurant chain Raising Cane's, according to SI. Other income can be derived through the receipt of intangible benefits, such as a free car lease. In fact, CBSSports reported that the entire University of Utah's men's and women's basketball team and the gymnastics team all received complementary leased vehicles for the 2023-24 season. However, what most commonly generates NIL income is the simple name recognition of the athlete through signing autographs, making appearances, or selling personally licensed apparel. Like any other source of income, income derived from NIL is subject to taxation. As these deals are becoming increasingly lucrative, athletes earning NIL income are now facing significant tax bills. Top 20 College Football NIL Valuations In 2025 On3 provides an algorithm that estimates an athlete's NIL valuation. Of note, this is not an exact amount as NIL deals are typically not disclosed publicly. However, their valuations provide a baseline estimation for what some of the top college athletes can expect to earn over the next 12 months. Below is a table that outlines On3's top 20 highest college football NIL valuations for 2025. On3 provides the data on the name, team, position, and NIL valuation. Using this NIL valuation, one can calculate the federal income tax, state income tax, and total tax owed. Notably, in this table NIL valuations are treated as taxable income, meaning they do not factor in any possible deductions for business expenses or personal deductions (for example, the standard or itemized deduction). The calculations treat all athletes as single taxpayers with no dependents. Finally, the calculated taxes owed pertain only to income taxes, excluding property, sales, and jock taxes. Quarterbacks Lead The Way With High NIL Valuations And High Tax Bills It is no surprise that the player with the top NIL valuation in 2025 is none other than Arch Manning, quarterback for the pre-season top-ranked University of Texas Longhorns. Even if one is not familiar with this athlete, the name likely rings a bell, as Manning is the grandson of legendary quarterback Archie Manning and the nephew of Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning. Manning's $6.8 million NIL valuation is over 50% higher than Carson Beck (quarterback for the University of Miami), and their valuation aligns with paying federal income taxes of $2,474,186 and $1,549186, respectively. What is somewhat unique about these two athletes is that they pay no state income tax. In total, nine U.S. states do not levy taxes: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming. Thus, high-NIL-earning athletes in these states will pay income taxes to the U.S. and not their own state. This same notion applies to Josh Hoover (TCU quarterback and number 14 on the list). As I previously reported in Forbes, the ability to not pay state income taxes on NIL earnings can result in significant tax savings, as many athletes on this top 20 list must pay six figures annually to their state. The First Year Of Arkansas Exempting NIL From State Income Tax Taylen Green (Arkansas quarterback and number 18 on the list) also does not pay taxes to his state in 2025. The reason for this is that, in 2025, Arkansas became the first state to levy a tax on income to pass a law that exempts tax on NIL earnings. As I reported in Forbes, many schools have felt that their state income tax laws put them at a disadvantage when recruiting talent compared to schools in states without an income tax, leading to pressure on the state legislature, and, ultimately, the passage of this novel tax law. While Arkansas is the first state to pass such a law, they were not alone in considering such a change. Other states, such as Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and North Carolina, also considered such legislation. For athletes like Garrett Nussmeier (LSU quarterback and number 4 of the list), Ryan Williams (Alabama wide receiver and number 13 on the list), CJ Bailey (NC State quarterback and number 16 on the list), and Jackson Arnold (Auburn quarterback and number 20 on the list), their state not passing a similar law to Arkansas this year impacts their estimated tax liability close to or above six figures. Nico Iamaleava's Curious NIL Tax Liability Increase UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava checks in at number 19 on the list of the top NIL valuation football players for the 2025 season. Despite being toward the bottom of the list, he has the highest state income taxes owed, with $237,394 expected to be levied against the state of California based on his $2 million NIL valuation. The reason for this is that California has the highest statutory state tax rate in the U.S., where the state taxes income over $1 million at a staggering rate of 13.3%. To put Iamaleava's tax liability into context, his NIL valuation suggests he will pay more in taxes with an expected $935,580 in 2025 than Hoover ($846,186) and Caleb Downs ($928,720, Ohio State safety and number 15 on the list), despite having a $400 thousand lower NIL valuation than either other the other two athletes. What makes Iamaleava's situation even more curious is that he transferred this past offseason from the University of Tennessee to UCLA. The state of Tennessee does not levy an income tax. Assuming his NIL valuation did not change, this means that the $237,394 in taxes he will now owe to the state of California are all incremental taxes.

‘That's Your Sign Not to Sell It‘: Man Is on His Way to Sell His 1966 Mustang. Then It Breaks Down in the Middle of the Highway

A University of Texas track and field athlete hit a stroke of bad luck trying to sell his 1966 Ford Mustang. It broke in the middle of the highway on the way there. Sam Hurley ( @samhurley ) documented his misfortune in a TikTok that's accrued over 189,000 views on the popular social media application. Hurley's clip begins with him sitting shirtless inside of his stuck vehicle. 'Well my car broke down in the middle of the highway,' he says before flashing a thumbs-up into the lens. While he speaks, the sound of vehicles zooming past him reverberates off-camera. 'I'm kind of scared. I bought this 1966 Mustang like a couple years ago,' he adds, showing off the classic car's interior. 'And I'm on my way to sell it right now when it broke down in the middle of the highway,' the athlete tells viewers. 'I've been out here for like 10 minutes, called a few tow trucks. I brought my homie with me and he was supposed to follow me. But he passed me and then now I've been here for 20 minutes.' Even though Hurley was left stranded on the side of the road, he didn't have any shortage of attention from other commuters. 'People keep honking at me like I could do something about it. I've been sitting here trying to start it for 10 minutes. So, now my only thing I can do is come rant to TikTok cause I don't want to get rear-ended out here,' he says. As he talks, Hurley constantly checks to see if any other cars are getting too close for comfort. A Final Start? 'And I'm scared about it,' he adds, throwing in a bit of footage showing a large cargo truck zooming past his window. Following this, he attempts one last time to bring his Mustang to life. 'Hoping this is the one that starts it, I got a good feeling man, I got a good feeling,' he says, before turning the car's ignition. He pumps its gas pedal, but it doesn't seem to work. 'Next time,' he says, dejected. Afterwards, Hurley records the exterior of the car, which had completely stalled out in the middle of the busy road. The classic convertible sits motionless as other cars drive by. He wasn't even able to get the car out to a shoulder, putting it at a greater risk of being smashed into by another vehicle. Are Older Mustangs Reliable? The aesthetic appeal of classic American cars is undeniable, especially with an icon like the Ford Mustang. Hurley's 1966 model is no exception, but as much as folks love these vintage rides, the same enthusiasts will admit using one as a daily commuter can be problematic. The blog Daily Car Tips says Mustangs overall offer 'mixed reliability,' giving credence to the mean-spirited acronyms some have appended to Ford: 'Found On Road Dead' and 'Fix Or Repair Daily.' The article says that some classic Mustangs easily make it to 200,000 or so miles or more with regular routine maintenance. But other drivers find themselves 'on a first-name basis with [their] mechanic.' A 1965 Mustang owner corroborates this assertion in a Hot Cars article. They reportedly claimed to have zero issues with their classic car. However, they did say that buyers must make sure they're purchasing 'the right one,' during their classic vehicle search. One upside to owning an older Ford Mustang is that they aren't exactly rare, and many people enjoy driving them. A car insurance company that targets the classic vehicle market reports that there are over 350,000 1965-1966 Ford Mustangs still on American roads today. Clearly it's a popular car. So Hurley shouldn't have any trouble selling his car—after he gets it out of the middle of the highway. Viewers aren't sure he should sell it after all. 'That's your sign not to sell it. Keep,' wrote one. Another urged, 'It doesn't want to be sold. That car's a dream bro.' Motor1 has reached out to Hurley via email for further comment. We'll update this if he responds.
