Elizabeth Holmes to Jen Shah: Ghislaine Maxwell joins high-profile convicts in Camp Bryan's prison
The Bureau of Prisons did not clarify why Maxwell was moved abruptly. However, this comes a week after top DOJ officials met her. Her accomplice and ex-boyfriend, Jeffrey Epstein, died in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial.
"We can confirm Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas," a Bureau of Prisons spokesman said, according to Axios.

Maxwell has been convicted of procuring minors for Epstein to abuse. She had been serving her sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Tallahassee in Florida. Camp Byran is a minimum-security facility for women in Bryan, Texas. It is about 100 miles northwest of Houston.
However, Ghislaine Maxwell is not the only high-profile inmate in Camp Bryan. She joins the likes of Jen Shah and Elizabeth Holmes.

Holmes, the disgraced founder of Theranos, is serving an 11-year, three-month sentence at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan after being convicted of fraud and conspiracy. Her imprisonment stems from a high-profile scandal where she misled investors and the public about Theranos' blood-testing technology, which promised revolutionary results but delivered inaccurate data. Sentenced on November 18, 2022, following a 2021 guilty verdict on four counts, Holmes began her term on May 30, 2023.
Jen Shah, a former star of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, is incarcerated at FPC Bryan for a 6.5-year sentence after pleading guilty to telemarketing fraud in July 2022. Her conviction arose from orchestrating a nationwide scheme that targeted vulnerable elderly victims, defrauding them of over $9.5 million through fake business opportunities. Sentenced on January 6, 2023, she reported to prison on February 17, 2023, and is eligible for release around August 2028, with possible early release for good conduct.

Trump dismisses IRS commissioner Billy Long; removed less than two months after Senate confirmation, Scott Bessent to serve as acting head
US Rep Billy Long (Image credits: AP) US President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed former US Rep Billy Long as IRS commissioner less than two months after his confirmation. Treasury secretary Scott Bessent will serve as acting commissioner in the interim. A White House official who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity, confirmed the removal, however, did not give a reason for it. Long was confirmed by the Senate in a 53-44 vote despite concerns raised by Democrats about his previous work with a firm involved in a fraudulent coronavirus pandemic-era tax credit program, as well as campaign contributions he received following his nomination by Trump. Before Long's confirmation, the IRS had already cycled through four acting leaders. These included one who resigned over a controversial deal allowing the IRS to share immigrants' tax data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and another whose appointment triggered a public dispute between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and treasury secretary Bessent, according to AP. During his time in Congress from 2011 to 2023, Long, a former auctioneer with no background in tax administration, sponsored legislation aimed at abolishing the IRS altogether. After leaving Congress to run unsuccessfully for the US Senate, Long worked with a firm that distributed the employee retention tax credit during the pandemic—a program later shut down after then-IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel found widespread fraud. Democrats have called for a criminal investigation into Long's connections to other alleged tax credit loopholes. Lawmakers claim that firms linked to Long misled investors into spending millions of dollars on fake tax credits.

Australia: Mushroom murderer accused of poisoning husband
The Latrobe Valley Magistrates Court in Morwell, Australia where Erin Patterson is on trial (AP image) An Australian woman, named Erin Patterson, who was convicted of killing three of her in-laws by poisoning their food with lethal mushrooms, also tried to kill her husband by poisoning him with a chicken korma curry, according to the evidence revealed in the court. "After the first time I got sick, I had the idea I got sick from Erin's food," Erin's husband, Simon Patterson, told a pre-trial hearing in Melbourne in October 2024. Simon began maintaining a spreadsheet of his illnesses, which he said all happened after eating his estranged wife's food, including a penne bolognese, a chicken curry and a sandwich wrap. He told the court that his food was poisoned on two camping trips and a walk, which almost killed him, and he was temporarily paralyzed and had part of his bowel removed. Why are the accusations of poisoning her husband coming out now? The jury court last month found Erin guilty of killing her mother-in-law, father-in-law and her husband's aunt Heather Wilkinson by adding death cap mushrooms to their beef Wellington lunch at her home in the town of in Leongatha. She was also charged with the attempted murder of Heather's husband, who had survived the toxic meals in 2023. The 50-year-old was initially also charged with four additional counts relating to her estranged husband, Simon. However, the judge had split the cases into two separate trials to give her a fair trial. The prosecution later dropped the charges against her for Simon's attempted murder, which meant details of her husband's attempted murder in 2021 and 2022 were never heard by the jury. During the two-month-long trial, Erin has maintained that the beef-and-pastry dish was accidentally poisoned with death cap mushrooms, the world's most lethal fungus.
