  Airbnb has heard your complaints about cleaning fees. The company said that starting in December, it will let travelers filter searches by the total pre-tax price of the stay, with cleaning fees included in that total. Airbnb also plans to roll out a feature next year that lets you see the cleaning requirements before you book, so you’ll no longer find yourself unexpectedly being asked to shampoo your host’s carpets.

The seizure marks the government’s second-largest crypto recovery ever, after the $3.6 billion-worth it got from the Brooklyn couple accused of hacking Bitfinex.
