BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Two people have been indicted on several charges in connection to allegedly kidnapping a 77-year-old earlier this year, the Niagara County District Attorney’s Office said Thursday.

Niagara resident Gregory Perry, 31, and Niagara Falls resident Ashley McMillen, 35, are accused of kidnapping and robbing the 77-year-old, who was first reported missing on March 26.

Perry is charged with first-degree kidnapping, second-degree robbery, aggravated criminal contempt and endangering the welfare of a child. He is also charged with an additional count of second-degree criminal contempt in connection to an alleged incident with the same victim on July 29, 2023. In addition, he is charged with fourth-degree tampering with a witness and second-degree criminal contempt for an alleged incident that took place on April 10.

McMillen is charged with first-degree kidnapping, second-degree robbery and endangering the welfare of a child.

Perry was remanded to the Niagara County Jail. Bail was set at $100,000 cash, $200,000 bond and $1 million partially secured for McMillen.

VCs are selling shares of hot AI companies like Anthropic and xAI to small investors in a wild SPV market
SPVs are generally formed by investors who have direct access to the shares of these startups and then turn around and sell a part of their allocation to external backers, often charging significant fees while retaining some profit share (known as carry). While SPVs aren’t new – smaller investors have relied on them for years – there’s a growing trend of SPVs successfully getting shares from the biggest names in AI. Rather than giving up the shares because the early investor can’t afford them, they’ll create the SPV, fund it by raising money from others, and, in most cases, charge additional fees.

AI training data has a price tag that only Big Tech can afford
Data is at the heart of today's advanced AI systems, but it's costing more and more -- making it out of reach for all but the wealthiest tech companies. Last year, James Betker, a researcher at OpenAI, penned a post on his personal blog about the nature of generative AI models and the datasets on which they're trained. In it, Betker claimed that training data -- not a model's design, architecture or any other characteristic -- was the key to increasingly sophisticated, capable AI systems.
