No need to ask others to check on your behalf. If you want to check out posts, type a fragment in a search engine "Todd Lyons gift card fraud" and look for other articles. Or, you can ask GROK if it's true. Here's an excerpt of Grok's reply:
Yes, Todd Lyons (Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE) has publicly spoken about gift card theft and fraud on multiple occasions, including in recent congressional testimony.What Lyons Reported: In testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee, Lyons stated that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)—a key investigative arm under ICE—broke what he described as the largest gift card fraud case ever. He linked it to transnational criminal organizations with ties to Chinese networks (often described in reports as CCP-linked or "within the CCP").
I am not declaring it fake. I am saying I am very cautious about ANYTHING single sourced from a place like “X” with no corroboration. I have been fooled by way too many AI generated fakes and disinformation recently.
I pretty much demand authoritatives confirmation by at least one more source that I trust, like Fox News. I hate that I have to rely on Fox News, but I have seen way too much BS and lies and deception on social media, designed to confuse us and sow chaos.
Believe what you want but I need everything posted to “X” confirmed by at least one other source that is at least established enough to get a black eye being caught in lies.
I already did a search on this and could find no corroboration that it is true, so I am just noting the information and not relying on it.
OK, I finally today found an article confirming this from World Net Daily.

That is the kind of corroboration I demand today. So call this confirmed, but in the future I will still demand this kind of 2nd sourcing. I will not believe any sole source news that comes down from a poster on “X”, because I just can’t prove it is real and not an AI fake.
Anybody can fake anything and fake it coming from any source they want to fake.
It is not enough to post one blurb or vid from “X”. That doesn’t cut it anymore for me. There must be at least one more source I trust confirming that news.
