Bathroom scale helps suspicious wife figure out husband is cheating: ‘This is expert-level sleuthing'
In a viral Reddit post, a suspicious wife claims she uncovered late-night weigh-ins on their shared digital scale — while she was away and her cheating husband was supposedly flying solo at their condo.
'I checked the digital scale's memory out of curiosity and it showed two 'unassigned' weigh-ins at exactly 120 lbs, logged at 12:25 a.m. and 12:26 a.m. back-to-back,' she wrote under the handle u/throw-Doubt303.
This woman did not expect to find potential infidelity on her scale.

'For context, I do not weigh 120 lbs, and I was not there on that date, just my husband.'
The couple had already separated after the husband's past infidelity, but agreed not to see other people while 'working on' themselves.
The logged weigh-ins were not adding up.

But these mysterious midnight measurements raised more than a few eyebrows.
'The goal was to work on ourselves to help build a better foundation and we agreed not to see other people,' she explained in the comments section.
The Reddit jury wasted no time in delivering its verdict.
'Pro tip — don't tell him you know there was a female there. Get in touch with attorneys to make a game plan,' one commenter advised.
'This is two back-to-back weights. This is pretty simple. He has moved on and is already hooking up with other women. No need to overthink this.'
'This is the confirmation you need — close down your heart to this douche and plan your new life. No more wasted energy on what, or who, he might be doing,' another chimed in.
One user even applauded the digital detective work: 'This is expert-level sleuthing. Men underestimate our level of intuition. When you confront him, he'll probably try to paint you as crazy or paranoid. You're not.'
As previously reported by The Post, one other woman discovered her boyfriend was cheating on her, not with the help of a scale, but thanks to her Ring camera.
Influencer Alexa Losey returned from a two-week business trip — and walked straight into a betrayal.
The lifestyle creator dropped the bombshell on an episode of Chloe Madison's 'The Unbothered Podcast' earlier this spring, revealing how her 'abusive' relationship came crashing down after her Ring cam busted her now-ex-boyfriend cheating.
Losey noted that she uncovered her ex's cheating after finding dirt in her La Mer moisturizer, checking Ring cam footage, and spotting a mystery woman visiting nightly — then got revenge by printing hundreds of screenshots and hiding them all over the house.
Looks like these ladies didn't need a private investigator — just a smart scale and a smart doorbell to catch their not-so-smart men.

Fact Check: Real photo shows Epstein accuser Chauntae Davies giving Bill Clinton shoulder massage in 2002
Claim: A 2002 photo accurately depicts 22-year-old Chauntae Davies, an accuser of Jeffrey Epstein, giving former President Bill Clinton a shoulder massage. Rating: As rumors heated up in July 2025 surrounding the relationship between U.S. President Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (who died by suicide in jail in 2019), a claim about a different presidential connection made the rounds online: a resurfaced photo that purportedly showed former President Bill Clinton receiving a massage from then-22-year-old Chauntae Davies, one of Epstein's accusers. One post of the image on Reddit (archived) received more than 137,000 upvotes, as of this writing. It also spread to X (archived) and Instagram (archived). Bill clinton getting a massage from Epstein victim, Chauntae Davies (2002)byu/Much_Ad3106 inpics The image is real. On Aug. 18, 2020, British tabloid the Daily Mail published two photos depicting Clinton smiling as Davies kneels behind him on a chair, giving him a shoulder massage. According to Davies, Epstein raped and sexually assaulted her repeatedly for four years before her escape in 2005. This photo of Davies with Clinton was taken in 2002. (Image via Daily According to a reverse-image search on (archived), the earliest internet record of the photo above is from the 2020 article in the Daily Mail. According to the Daily Mail article, the person who captured the photo took it while the group refueled at a small airport in Portugal en route to Africa for a humanitarian trip spanning multiple countries in September 2002 during which Clinton was going to be raising awareness for AIDS. Regarding Clinton himself, the Daily Mail article quoted Davies as saying the former president was a "perfect gentleman." Her comments about Clinton in the article are as follows: Davies acted as an air stewardess on the flight and described being shocked when Clinton boarded the plane, saying he was "charming and sweet". Davies, now in her early 40s, said of the massage pictures: "Although the image looks bizarre, President Clinton was a perfect gentleman during the trip and I saw absolutely no foul play involving him." She explained the massage happened when "we had a stop-over for the jet to refuel and while we were in the terminal the ex-President was complaining of stiffness from falling asleep in his chair. "Ghislaine chimed in to be funny and said that I could give him a massage. "Everyone had a little chuckle but Ghislaine in her prim British accent insisted and said I was good. The President then asked me 'would you mind giving it a crack'." "Ghislaine" is British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime romantic and criminal partner of Epstein who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking and other criminal sexual activities involving minors. In the limited Netflix series "Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich," which came out approximately three months before these photos were released, Davies recalled the trip: I went from being just the masseuse to being asked to be a personal assistant on this trip. So I was blinded by the opportunity of it. I hadn't gone anywhere really, and to go to Africa was like a dream come true. I flew from L.A. to New York, the plane was ready on the tarmac when I got there, and I took a seat. Then our guests arrived. It was Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker. I was blown away, like oh my God, it was surreal. The trip was about the AIDS organization that Clinton had started. This trip to Africa is probably the single most amazing moment of my life, and I remember having this false belief that the abuse had stopped because nothing had happened in Africa. Thinking that maybe it just wasn't going to happen anymore. But after the Africa trip, the abuse started all over again, and it never stopped after that. Clinton's name has long been associated with Epstein's, more recently regarding lawsuit documents unsealed in January 2024. Unverified flight logs filed with the FAA indicate that Clinton flew on Epstein's jet at least 26 times, according to a report published by Fox News in 2016. However, in 2019, Clinton's spokesperson, Angel Ureña, claimed on X (archived) that the former president had only taken a total of four flights on Epstein's jet. Both Epstein and Maxwell were guests at the White House during Clinton's tenure on multiple occasions, as we've previously reported.

How One Crypto Hack Cost An Investor His Grandma's $20K Legacy—And How You Can Protect Yourself
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. A devastating loss that started with a simple software download has crypto investors questioning everything they thought they knew about wallet security. When Reddit user 'Mantzy81' watched 0.55 BTC—worth $60,000—vanish from his Exodus wallet on July 14, it wasn't just another cautionary tale. Half of that money was a $20,000 inheritance from his grandmother, earmarked for buying a house. 'I feel sick,' Mantzy81 wrote in his post, describing how the loss would 'take the best part of a decade to recover from.' What makes this story particularly chilling is how ordinary it was—no sophisticated hacking operation, no elaborate phishing scheme. Just malware hiding in what seemed like legitimate software from platforms like GitHub or NexusMods. Don't Miss: Accredited Investors: Grab Pre-IPO Shares of the AI Company Powering Hasbro, Sephora & MGM— — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. The Uncomfortable Truth About 'User Error' While Mantzy81 initially suspected an inside job or sophisticated hack, the crypto community's response was swift and sobering. This wasn't a hack—it was likely malware that captured his seed phrase the moment he entered it. The uncomfortable reality is that stories like this flood crypto forums daily, each one following a similar pattern of seemingly secure users losing everything. The victim-blaming debate that followed highlights a crucial tension in crypto culture. While Mantzy81 rightfully pointed out that someone else committed the crime, the harsh truth remains: in the world of self-custody, user error often equals total loss. There's no bank to call, no fraud department to reverse the transaction. Why Hardware Wallets Aren't Optional for Serious Money The overwhelming consensus from experienced crypto users is clear: for amounts like $60,000, software wallets are simply too risky. The recommended approach involves multiple layers of protection: Trending: Grow your IRA or 401(k) with Crypto – . Hardware wallet redundancy: Split significant holdings across two hardware wallets with separate seed phrases. If one fails or gets compromised, you still have access to half your funds. Air-gapped seed storage: Never, ever store your seed phrase digitally. Write it on paper and keep it in a secure, offline location. Some users recommend metal storage for fire protection. Device segregation: Use a dedicated computer or virtual machine solely for crypto activities. Your gaming PC that downloads software from random GitHub repositories should never touch your crypto wallet. Operating system matters: Security experts consistently recommend avoiding Windows for crypto activities, favoring Linux distributions with minimal packages, or at minimum, macOS or iOS for their better security architecture. The Exchange vs. Self-Custody Dilemma Mantzy81's loss has reignited the debate around 'not your keys, not your crypto' versus exchange custody. While the crypto ethos champions self-custody, the reality is that many users aren't equipped to be their own bank. Reputable exchanges offer multiple security layers—KYC verification, geographic IP restrictions, withdrawal confirmations, and 2FA—that can actually provide better security than a compromised home investors, exhausted by custody risks, are turning to Bitcoin ETFs for crypto exposure without the security burden. While this sacrifices the sovereignty that crypto promises, it eliminates the single-point-of-failure risk that claimed Mantzy81's inheritance. The Harsh Math of Recovery Post-theft options are grim. Law enforcement reports might help flag wallet addresses and potentially freeze funds if they hit known exchanges, but recovery odds hover near zero. In Australia, where Mantzy81 lives, such losses qualify as capital losses for tax purposes—cold comfort for someone who lost their grandmother's final gift. The crypto revolution promised financial sovereignty, but stories like Mantzy81's reveal its brutal corollary: with great power comes the potential for catastrophic, irreversible mistakes. For those holding serious money in crypto, the question isn't whether to upgrade security—it's whether you can afford not to. Read Next: A must-have for all crypto enthusiasts: .

Weeping relatives, friends gather at wake to remember NJ mom and daughter killed in head-on crash with illegal migrant
More than 150 mourners gathered Saturday to remember the mother and her 11-year-old daughter tragically killed in a head-on crash with an allegedly drunk illegal immigrant driver. Sobbing and weeping relatives and friends — many of them, donning shirts with images of Maria Pleitez and little Dayanara Cortes' beaming faces — lined up outside the Lakewood Funeral Home in Howell to pay their respects at a somber wake. At one point, a mourner who'd been crying uncontrollably leaned over the 42-year-old mother's open casket, and repeated the phrases '¡Qué fuerte!' ('How terrible' in English) and 'Porque?,' the Spanish word for 'Why?,' over and over again. Advertisement 3 Over 150 people gathered at the Lakewood Funeral Home in Howell, New Jersey, to pay their respects to remember the mother and her 11-year-old daughter, tragically killed in a head-on crash. Leonardo Munoz Among those grieving the two devastating deaths was Dayanara's father and her friend, also 11, who was injured in the July 26 crash and is recovering. Pleitez was driving the two girls to a Wawa to get milkshakes at around 11:20 p.m. in Lakewood when Raul Luna-Perez, 43, slammed his Dodge Durango into the mom's Nissan Sentra, according to local prosecutors. Advertisement She was killed instantly, and Dayanara, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, died soon after arriving at the hospital. Luna-Perez was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide and assault by auto. Charges could be added once prosecutors receive the results of an alcohol blood level test. 3 Maria Pleitez and her daughter Dayanara Cortes were fatally struck by an alleged illegal immigrant, Raul Luna-Perez, 43, who was drunk while driving. Advertisement The Mexican immigrant, who was in the US illegally, had been arrested twice this spring for DUI in Red Bank, NJ — something Pleitez's niece bemoaned at the wake. Maria del Carmen Pleitez told The Post her aunt was a hardworking, cat-loving, doting US citizen who immigrated from El Salvador 24 years ago. 'She was a happy person,' Pleitez, 39, said. 'She would come to a place, or she would come to our homes, and just bring happiness. She was never angry, never sad. She always had the strength to continue going, and that's what hurts, because the guy had two DUIs already.' 3 Family and friends at the wake donned shirts and images of Pleitez and Cortes. Leonardo Munoz Advertisement Maria Pleitez spent years working in the painting department of Superior Promotional Bags, a Toms River promotional products supplier, the niece said. 'She was the head of the family,' Maria del Carmen Pleitez said. 'She was bringing up her two daughters. She had her own apartment, her own place, and she never asked her help for anything. We loved her.' Pleitez's 16-year-old daughter, who stayed home, is heartbroken, she said. 'It's so hard. We still feel like we can't digest everything. Like, you wake up in the morning, you think it's not true.'
