did not stop the fraud after ronald reported it. a spokesperson said perpetrators have been extremely aggressive and we understand how upsetting it can be for victims trying to rebuild their lives. it took a few weeks, but edt finally did return their money. >> it did take stress off because that was a large amount of money. we are still grateful. if it wasn't for you, i think we would have been stuck. reporter: that is what we are here for. ronald was told that his fraud report was lost when they upgraded his computer system. they say they are working on improving communications to better prevent fraud. let's hope so. ama: to tonight story, massive layoffs in the tech industry, thousands of bay area residents have lost their

line to cut costs. reporter: a professor says those cuts start with employees like we saw today at google. >> i have a lot of friends at google so i am worried about them. reporter: 12,000 employees from alphabet joined the other tens of thousands cut across silicon valley as they await budget decisions. increased the number of employees by 30%. they are doing what i call the great reset. they will go back to the 2019 era. even with the cuts, we are still above that level. reporter: these have a trickle-down effect because thousands of employees have less money to spend, leading to cuts in other industries. it is not permanent.

they are hired back at other companies or in other roles. he said it is not 2008 not slow down the prominence of silicon valley. >> we have hundreds of companies and silicon valley has never been defined by one company. it is defined by product and innovation. reporter: dustin dorsey abc7 news. ama: keep track of the layoffs on our abc7 layoff tracker at abc7news.com. >> elon musk, ceo of tesla, took the stand in a san francisco courtroom, a class action lawsuit for a tweet he wrote in 2018 regarding the electric car going -- car company going private. they say musk's investors billions and was false because the company never went private. the lawsuit is expected to last through the beginning of

february. ama: tomorrow, oakland mayor sheng thao will talk about her comments regarding putting ron armstrong on leave. he is off the job for dereliction of duty after reportedly failing to take action on a sergeant who ripped the bumper off of a neighbor's car in a hit and run and later fired a gun inside an elevator at police headquarters. she was misconduct, and then thought that and won. >> one of the biggest cancers and law enforcement is that officers will not come forward and report misconduct. i report misconduct and i am fired for it. talk about undermining report. ama: armstrong is the department's 10th police chief in 10 years. opd remains under federal

oversight for the last 20 years. >> an abc7 news insider's looking into it. do you think armstrong will overcome this and stay on as chief? >> that would be very difficult. we are not talking about a beat cop who has done something wrong and goes on paid leave and then there is an examination. we are talking about the person at the top. once you have made the accusation there was dereliction of duty, it is tough to come back from that. that is not to say it is not impossible. this is a unique city with unique challenges, but this is probably the first step in a mutually agreed to exit or possibly resignation or was fired. ama: 10 chiefs in 10 years? what is really going on?

reporter: first, federal oversight of the department is tough. they are trying to shake up oakland pd. it goes back to the time when jerry brown was the mayor of oakland and opd, he said get out and clean up crime and they overstepped authority doing it. every two critical of whoever is chief and they often end up losing their job. second, the politics of oakland. they are at the forefront of a progressive political situation. at one time, many were talking about defunding the police. that has changed to recruit more police, but there is still the question of accountability and oversight. the third part, the street situation in oakland, which is tough. though armstrong was able to reduce homicides, taken

thousands of guns off the street, it is still a tight issue. it is like being on a trampoline. dan: let's talk about the oversight. how long is that expected to continue? reporter: how long do you have? it seems every time they are about to make it into the end zone and have the department declared clean, something happens and often leads to the exit of the chief and extension of the mandate from the feds. it is anyone's guess. this does not help. ama: what a start for mayor sheng thao, just coming into office to deal with this. reporter: she has support from people on the city council, but you are right. she is coming into a job she has never held before. she has an outgoing city administrator, the head of the homeless is gone and now her police chief is possibly exiting.

more students. >> we will have to work with community colleges to reach students and rethink the pipeline in general. reporter: at a uc regents meeting, a plan was discussed, including putting more advisors at these colleges. they believe reaching out in person would convince some students that transferring to a uc is doable. >> students often do not conceive it as a possibility. i was one of those. the other thing is the financial peace, offering scholarships, packages. reporter: ucs face another challenge, how to enroll students from community colleges that have seen declining enrollment. enrollment at california community colleges dropped by 18%, the lowest level in 30 years.
