Some people do bad things with money and other people's things. They might steal or trick others to get money or goods for themselves. They can do things like fake cheques, use someone else’s credit card, lie to get a loan, cheat in health care, or trick companies. These bad actions can be done by one person, a group of people or even big companies. Bad people might also use computers to commit crimes or target old people. Sometimes, these money crimes can also include scary things like stealing with force. People in charge of keeping us safe call big groups that trick many people “criminal syndicates.” A long time ago, the United States made a law to stop people from giving money to officials in other countries to do bad things. Later, other countries started to make their own laws to stop this. They all want to work together to stop these crimes. Countries think a lot about how to stop and find these crimes. Some people use smart tricks to hide the money they get from crimes or to help others do bad things. They use different banks and lots of complicated transactions. It's a big problem to solve.

Famous people, like movie stars, singers, and sports players, sometimes talk about important things that are happening in the world. Because many people like and follow them, their words can be very powerful. These famous people have fans who listen when they talk about things like rules and ways to make the world better. Years ago, when television became popular, people saw a new way to share ideas with lots of people. Famous people would go on TV and more people could hear what they thought. Now, with the internet, especially on websites where people share pictures and messages, famous people can talk to even more people. Most of these famous people in places like the United States have similar ideas on how to make the world better. But some people wonder if famous people should talk about these things because they are known for their movies or music, not for their knowledge of the world's problems.

When someone is taken to court because they might have done something wrong, they can try to show they shouldn't be blamed. This is called a defense. If the court agrees with their defense, they won't have to face punishment or pay money. The person who is being blamed will talk to the court after the person who is complaining has finished. They can tell the court their side of the story, why they think they are not wrong, and also ask questions to the other side. To show the defense is right, the person being blamed has to give proof. For example, if someone is being blamed for hurting another person, they might say the other person started the trouble, but they need to show evidence. There are many ways to defend oneself in court. Some include saying the court doesn't have the power to decide on the case or that the complaint wasn't explained properly. Others are based on special rules that say you can't blame someone if certain things happened. Like if the person who got hurt agreed to something risky or if both sides were doing something wrong together.
