According to Khmer Times on October 15, Cambodian Interior Ministry spokesman Ren Ratana said the country has arrested and dismissed 77 police officers over alleged involvement in online scam activities. The government says it has dismantled major scam networks and arrested ringleaders, who were either detained in Cambodia or deported, and more than 400,000 foreign nationals linked to the scams have been deported or left the country voluntarily. Civil servants and security personnel have also been arrested and prosecuted. An international conference in Phnom Penh in September, attended by delegations including the FBI and Interpol, signed the Phnom Penh Declaration recognizing Cambodia's anti-scam efforts. Ratana said small-scale crimes and attempts to revive large scam operations continue, and authorities pledge to dismantle such networks immediately upon receiving information.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site.
