Miami Tax Preparer Banned for Life After Faking Returns, Ordered to Pay $571K
A federal court has permanently banned a Miami-area tax return preparer from the business after finding that the majority of returns he filed were loaded with fabricated deductions and credits. Aniel Saint-Hilaire is barred for life from acting as a return preparer, preparing or advising on anyone else's taxes, or even investing in or drawing a paycheck from a tax-preparation business, and he has been ordered to pay back more than half a million dollars in what the court called ill-gotten gains.

Want to get your flowers or fish faster? MIA to make cargo run smoother
The growing cargo operation at Miami International Airport transporting flowers, fruit and seafood is about to get a technology upgrade. The airport will start using an AI-based platform to help make its massive cargo system run smoother. MIA is teaming up with Indian technology firm Kale Logistics Solutions to develop what they call the Airport Cargo Community System. That’s a shared online portal for freight forwarders, cargo handlers, truckers, carriers, ground handlers and others involved in handling freight. Until now, these groups worked in a fragmented way and often had to exchange information manually. Kale Logistics Solutions, founded in 2009 in Thane, India, near Mumbai, has already installed an older version of the platform at about 40 airports worldwide, Amar More, co-founder and CEO, said in an interview with the Miami Herald this week. MIA will be the first to use an AI-based platform that the company is developing, More said. He called it “the world’s first AI-based airport cargo system.” MIA and Kale will start rolling out the technology in January, the CEO said, and the system will fully launch in August or September. How big is MIA’s cargo operation? In 2025, Miami International was the busiest airport for

Tallest dorm in state will rise 17 stories, become FIU campus ‘crown jewel'
Florida International University is building what will become the tallest on-campus residence hall in Florida’s State University System, a 17-story tower that one university official calls the “crown jewel of campus.” The dorm and four other construction projects underway at the Modesto A. Maidique Campus in West Miami-Dade — a new medical center, a worship center, a residential food hall and a museum called CasaCuba — are part of FIU’s ambitious plan to become a top 30 public university by 2030 while offering more space for students, faculty and researchers. The centerpiece is the new $248 million residence hall, which will pay homage to the university’s early history when it opens in fall 2028. Here’s what to know about the new tower: Memories of the mascot Sunblazer Hall will carry FIU’s original school nickname. The mascot was a fuzzy yellow monster with a tough guy attitude, topped with a sun-like head. FIU first opened to students in 1972, but the character, called Son of a Blazer, was not introduced until 1985 as the university launched its first athletic teams. FIU retired the Sunblazers nickname and mascot in 1987, paving way for the Golden Panthers and a mascot later known as
