  "account": "A senior Glencore executive recently instructed counterparts at Radiant World to refrain from using email communication, according to WhatsApp messages obtained by Bloomberg News. Peter Hill, the head of iron ore at Radiant World, warned in messages dated between 2023 and 2025, \"Say nothing on email.\" These messages raise concerns about the extent of Glencore's involvement with Radiant World, a company with which Glencore has recently severed ties amid a lawsuit and allegations of fraud. Hill, who has been suspended pending a review of Glencore's dealings with Radiant World, highlighted Glencore's role as a significant backer of the Radiant World network and suggested that he held ultimate decision-making authority over various aspects of Radiant World's trading. The messages were sent from both Hill's personal mobile phone and Glencore-issued phone, according to people familiar with the situation.",
