Well, that didn’t take long. It hasn’t even been a year since Inside Out 2 took over Frozen 2‘s spot atop the list of highest-grossing animated movies of all time—en route to becoming 2024’s highest-grossing movie worldwide, full stop, though Deadpool & Wolverine did make a run for it.

A cryptocurrency scam that turned a small town against itself

In 2023, crypto fraud cost American investors an estimated $4.8 billion, according to the F.B.I.
