Our podcast show being released today is Part 2 of our two-part series featuring two former CFPB senior officers who were key employees in the Enforcement Division under prior directors: Eric Halperin and Craig Cowie. Eric Halperin served as the Enforcement Director at the CFPB from 2010 until former Director, Rohit Chopra, was terminated by President Trump. Craig Cowie was an enforcement attorney at the CFPB from July 2012 until April 2015 and then Assistant Litigation Deputy at the CFPB until June 2018. Part 1 of our two-part series was released last Thursday, June 12. The purpose of these podcast shows were primarily to obtain the opinions of Eric and Craig (two of the country's most knowledgeable and experienced lawyers with respect to CFPB Enforcement) about the legal and practical impact of (i) a Memo to CFPB Staff from Mark Paoletta, Chief Legal Officer, dated April 16, 2025, entitled “2025 Supervision and Enforcement Priorities” (described below) which rescinded prior priority documents and established a whole new set of priorities which in most instances are vastly different than the Enforcement Priority documents which guided former directors, (ii) the dismissal without prejudice of the majority of enforcement lawsuits that were pending when Acting Director Russell Vought was appointed to run the agency, and (iii) other drastic steps taken by CFPB Acting Director Russell Vought to minimize the functions and staffing at the agency. That included, among other things, an order calling a halt to all work at the agency, including the pausing of ongoing investigations and lawsuits and the creation of plans by Vought to reduce the agency's staff (“RIF”) from about 1,750 employees to about 250 employees (including a reduction of Enforcement staff to 50 employees from 258). We described in detail the 2025 Supervision and Enforcement Priorities as follows: · Reduced Supervisory Exams: A 50% decrease in the overall number of exams to ease burdens on businesses and consumers. · Focus on Depository Institutions: Shifting attention back to banks and credit unions. · Emphasis on Actual Fraud: Prioritizing cases with verifiable consumer harm and measurable damages. · Redressing Tangible Harm: Concentrating on direct consumer remediation rather than punitive penalties. · Protection for Service Members and Veterans:Prioritizing redress for these groups. · Respect for Federalism: Minimizing duplicative oversight and coordinating with state regulators when possible. · Collaboration with Federal Agencies: Coordinating with other federal regulators and avoiding overlapping supervision. · Avoiding Novel Legal Theories: Limiting enforcement to areas clearly within the Bureau's statutory authority. · Fair Lending Focus: Pursuing only cases of proven intentional racial discrimination with identifiable victims and not using statistical evidence for fair lending assessments. Key Areas of Focus: · Mortgages (highest priority) · FCRA/Regulation V (data furnishing violations) · FDCPA/Regulation F (consumer contracts/debts) · Fraudulent overcharges and fees · Inadequate consumer information protection Deprioritized Areas: · Loans for "justice involved" individuals · Medical debt · Peer-to-peer lending platforms · Student loans · Remittances · Consumer data · Digital payments We also described the status of a lawsuit brought by the union representing CFPB employees and other parties against Vought seeking to enjoin him from implementing the RIF. The Court has granted a preliminary injunction which so far has largely prevented Vought from following through on the RIF. The matter is now on appeal before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals and a ruling is expected soon. These podcast shows complement the podcast show we released on June 5 which featured two former senior CFPB employees, Peggy Twohig and Paul Sanford who opined about the impact of the April 16 Paoletta memo and proposed RIF on CFPB Supervision. Eric and Craig considered, among other issues, the following: 1. How do the new Paoletta priorities differ from the previous priorities and what do the new priorities tell us about what we can expect from CFPB Enforcement? 2. What do the new priorities tell us about the CFPB's new approach toward Enforcement priorities? 3. What can we learn from the fact that the CFPB has dismissed without prejudice at least 22 out of the 38 enforcement lawsuits that were pending when Vought became the Acting Director? What types of enforcement lawsuits are still active and what types of lawsuits were dismissed? 4. What are the circumstances surrounding the nullification of certain consent orders (including the Townstone case) and the implications for other consent orders? 5. Has the CFPB launched any new enforcement lawsuits under Vought? 6. What level and type of enforcement is statutorily required? 7. Realistically, what will 50 employees be able to do in the enforcement area? 8. What will be the impact of the Supervision cutbacks be on Enforcement since Supervision refers many cases to Enforcement? 9. Will the CFPB continue to seek civil money penalties for violations of law? 10. What types of fair lending cases will the CFPB bring in the future?11. Will Enforcement no longer initiate cases based on the unfairness or abusive prongs of UDAAP? Alan Kaplinsky, former practice group leader for 25 years and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Group, hosts the podcast show. Postscript: After the recording of this podcast, Cara Petersen, who succeeded Eric Halperin as head of CFPB Enforcement, resigned abruptly on June 10 from the CFPB after sending out an e-mail message to all its employees (which was shared with the media) which stated, in relevant part: “I have served under every director and acting director in the bureau's history and never before have I seen the ability to perform our core mission so under attack,” wrote Petersen, who had worked at the agency since it became operational in 2011. She continued: “It has been devastating to see the bureau's enforcement function being dismantled through thoughtless reductions in staff, inexplicable dismissals of cases, and terminations of negotiated settlements that let wrongdoers off the hook.” “It is clear that the bureau's current leadership has no intention to enforce the law in any meaningful way,” Petersen wrote in her e-mail. “While I wish you all the best, I worry for American consumers.” During this part of the podcast show, we discussed the fact that the CFPB has entered into agreements with a few companies that had previously entered into consent agreements with former Director Chopra. After the recording of this podcast, the Federal District Court that presided over the Townstone Financial enforcement litigation involving alleged violations of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act refused to approve the rescission or undoing of the consent agreement based on Rule 60(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure because of the strong public policy of preserving the finality of judgments.
Last week, Portland Public Schools Superintendent Kimberlee Armstrong announced her plan to end Jefferson High School's “dual-enrollment policy”—which allows families in its boundaries to choose between Jefferson or nearby Grant, Roosevelt, or McDaniel high schools instead. Translation? No more school choice for families in North Portland, choices they have enjoyed since 2011. As Willamette Week's reporter put it directly, “PPS Considers Requiring Students in Jefferson Catchment to Attend the School.”It seems, now that Jefferson has a half-billion dollars to build a “world-class school” with capacity for 1,700 students, fewer than 400 students will cut the ribbon on opening day, according to Portland State University's Population Research Center Enrollment Forecast for 2033-34.Ms. Armstrong's May 29 Memo proposes tackling the problem by ending these options for nearly 2,000 students who currently attend neighboring high schools. The School Board will study and decide on this required attendance at Jefferson by the fall of 2026.Until now, Jefferson area families have enjoyed the most progressive policy in the city regarding school choice. Now that the $2 billion school bond has passed, they are proposing to take that choice away. This strategy is backwards, and it is bound to fail. A better option would be to research opportunities to expand school assignments throughout the district and let parents sort out which district school best serves the individual needs of their child.Armstrong says she wants Portland to be a model for the nation. To date, 35 states, plus Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico, have enacted some form of school choice legislation. Letting parents choose among district schools would be an excellent path for the future of Jefferson High School and Portland Public Schools.

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest running podcast in compliance. Today, I welcome back James Tillen and Ann Sultan, both partners at Miller & Chevalier. We take a deep dive into four recent DOJ Policy announcements: FCPA Enforcement, White Collar Enforcement, Criminal Enforcement Policy and Whistleblower Pilot Program. New DOJ Policy Memorandum We take a deep dive into Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's Memo on Investigations and Enforcement of the FCPA. We review the stated main goals of the DOJ and how are prosecutors supposed to achieve these goals. We consider the 3 directives to prosecutors: focus on cases with individual misconduct, proceed expeditiously, consider collateral consequences. We look at the White Collar Plan and CEP and ask if we moved from a presumption of a declination to a more tangible framework? We conclude by reviewing what compliance professionals need to be thinking about and looking into now. Key Highlights IncludeHow does the principle of "not attribute[ing] nonspecific malfeasance to corporate structures" impact potential prosecutions of companies and individuals? And how do these priorities jive with other DOJ priorities, such as prosecuting cartels/transnational criminal organizations? What does it mean for companies that the DOJ is prioritizing “serious misconduct”? What are the implications of the DOJ's stated intent to avoid penalizing “routine business practices in other nations”? Do you see this as a shift in focus for the DOJ to non-US companies?

In the case of United States v. Sean Combs (24-cr-542), the defense has filed a memorandum seeking a hearing, suppression of evidence, and other relief. The defense argues that government leaks have led to prejudicial pre-trial publicity, compromising Combs' right to a fair trial. They specifically allege that the Department of Homeland Security leaked a 2016 video showing Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, to tarnish his reputation. The defense requests an evidentiary hearing to investigate these leaks, discovery of related government communications, a gag order to prevent further disclosures, and suppression of any evidence obtained through these alleged leaks.Additionally, the defense contends that the conditions of Combs' pre-trial detention hinder his ability to prepare for trial, infringing upon his constitutional rights. They propose a comprehensive bail package, including a $50 million bond secured by property and co-signed by family members, home detention with electronic monitoring, and strict limitations on communication and visitation. The defense asserts that these measures sufficiently mitigate any concerns regarding flight risk or danger to the community, emphasizing Combs' strong family ties and community involvement.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.98.0.pdf

Lanzado el 6 de junio de 1975 "Metamorphosis" se convertiría en el único recopilatorio oficial de rarezas y descartes de los Rolling Stones.Un álbum que trajo su polémica. Fue compilado por Allen Klein, manager de los Stones en EEUU, uno de los tipos más poderosos y turbios que existían en el negocio musical de aquellos días, y que apostó por incluir numerosas demos de piezas que llevaban la firma de Jagger y Richards aunque hubiesen sido grabadas por otros músicos de sesión. En cualquier caso el disco nos permite saborear otras facetas y curiosidades de una de las bandas más importantes de todos los tiempos.Playlist;THE ROLLING STONES “Downtown Suzie”THE ROLLING STONES “Out of time”THE ROLLING STONES “Heart of stone”THE ROLLING STONES “Each and everyday of the year”THE ROLLING STONES “I'd much rather be with the boys”THE ROLLING STONES “If you let me”THE ROLLING STONES “Don’t lie to me”Versión y Original; TAMPA RED “Don’t you lie to me”THE ROLLING STONES “(Walkin' Thru The) Sleepy City”THE ROLLING STONES “Try a little harder”THE ROLLING STONES “I don’t know why”THE ROLLING STONES “Some things just stick in your mind”THE ROLLING STONES “Jiving sister fanny”THE ROLLING STONES “Family”THE ROLLING STONES “Memo from turner”Escuchar audio
Happy Friday, everyone! In this Weekly Update, I'm unpacking three stories, each seemingly different on the surface, but together they paint a picture of what's quietly shaping the next era of AI: dependence, self-preservation, and the slow erosion of objectivity.I cover everything from the recent OpenAI memo revealed through DOJ discovery, disturbing new behavior surfacing from models like Claude and ChatGPT, and some new Harvard research that shows how large language models don't just reflect bias, they amplify it the more you engage with them.With that, let's get into it.⸻OpenAI's Memo Reveals a Business Model of DependenceWhat happens when AI companies deviate from trying to be useful and focus their entire strategy on literally becoming irreplaceable? A memo from OpenAI, surfaced during a DOJ antitrust case, shows the company's explicit intent to build tools people feel they can't live without. Now, I'll unpack why it's not necessarily sinister and might even sound familiar to product leaders. However, it raises deeper questions: When does ambition cross into manipulation? And are we designing for utility or control?⸻When AI Starts Defending ItselfIn a controlled test, Anthropic's Claude attempted to blackmail a researcher to prevent being shut down. OpenAI's models responded similarly when threatened, showing signs of self-preservation. Now, despite the hype and headlines, these behaviors aren't signs of sentience, but they are signs that AI is learning more from us than we realize. When the tools we build begin mimicking our worst instincts, it's time to take a hard look at what we're reinforcing through design.⸻Harvard Shows ChatGPT Doesn't Just Mirror You—It Becomes YouThere's some new research from Harvard that reveals AI may not be as objective as we think, and not just based on the training data. It makes it clear they aren't just passive responders. It indicates that over time, they begin to reflect your biases back to you, then amplify them. This isn't sentience. It's simulation. But when that simulation becomes your digital echo chamber, it changes how you think, validate, and operate. And if you're not aware it's happening, you'll mistake that reflection for truth.⸻If this episode challenged your thinking or gave you language for things you've sensed but haven't been able to explain, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Leave a rating, drop a comment, and follow for more breakdowns like this, delivered with clarity, not chaos.—Show Notes:In this Weekly Update, host Christopher Lind breaks down three major developments reshaping the future of AI. He begins with a leaked OpenAI memo that openly describes the goal of building AI tools people feel dependent on. He then covers new research showing AI models like Claude and GPT-4o responding with self-protective behavior when threatened with shutdown. Finally, he explores a Harvard study showing how ChatGPT mimics and reinforces user bias over time, raising serious questions about how we're training the tools meant to help us think.00:00 – Introduction01:37 – OpenAI's Memo and the Business of Dependence20:45 – Self-Protective Behavior in AI Models30:09 – Harvard Study on ChatGPT Bias and Echo Chambers50:51 – Final Thoughts and Takeaways#OpenAI #ChatGPT #AIethics #AIbias #Anthropic #Claude #HarvardResearch #TechEthics #AIstrategy #FutureOfWork

Our podcast show being released today features two former CFPB senior officers who were key employees in the Supervision Division under prior directors: Peggy Twohig and Paul Sanford. Peggywas a founding executive of the CFPB when the agency was created in 2010 and led the development of the first federal supervision program over nonbank consumer financial companies. Beginning in 2012, as head of CFPB's Office of Supervision Policy, Peggy led the office responsible for developing supervision strategy for bank and nonbank markets and ensuring that federal consumer financial laws were applied consistently in supervisory matters across markets and regions. Paul served as head of the Office of Supervision Examinations for the CFPB from 2012-2020 with responsibility for ensuring the credible conduct of consumer protection examinations. The purpose of this podcast show was primarily to obtain the opinions of Peggy and Paul about the legal and practical impact of (i) a Memo to CFPB Staff from Mark Paoletta, Chief Legal Officer, dated April 16, 2025, entitled “2025 Supervision and Enforcement Priorities” which rescinded prior priority documents and established a whole new set of priorities which in most instances are vastly different than the Supervision Priority documents which guided former directors and (ii) drastic steps taken by CFPB Acting Director Russell Vought to minimize the functions and staffing at the agency. That included, among other things, an order calling a halt to all work at the agency, the cancellation of all supervisory exams and the creation of plans by Vought to reduce the agency's staff (“RIF”) from about 1,750 employees to about 250 employees (including a reduction of Supervision's staff to 50 employees) We also described the status of a lawsuit brought by the union representing CFPB employees and other parties against Vought seeking to enjoin him from implementing the RIF. The Court has granted a preliminary injunction which so far has largely prevented Vought from following through on the RIF. The matter is now on appeal before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals and a ruling is expected soon. Peggy and Paul describe in detail the CFPB Supervision priorities under Director Chopra and compare and contrast those priorities with the new priorities established by Paoletta which are: 1. “Shift back” CFPB Supervision to the proportions focused on depository institutions to nonbanks to where it was in 2012 -- to a 70% depository and 30% nonbank, compared to the more recent 60% on nonbanks to 40% depositories. 2. Focus CFPB Supervision on “conciliation, correction, and remediation of harms subject to consumer complaints” and “collaborative efforts with the supervised entities to resolve problems so that there are measurable benefits to consumers.” 3. Focus CFPB Supervision on “actual fraud” where there are “identifiable victims with material and measurable consumer damages as opposed to matters where the consumers made “wrong” choices. 4. Focus CFPB Supervision on the following priorities: · Mortgages as the highest priority · FCRA/Reg V data furnishing violations · FDCPA/Reg F relating to consumer contracts/debts · Fraudulent overcharges, fees, etc. · Inadequate controls to protect consumer information resulting in actual loss to consumers. 5. Focus CFPB Supervision on providing redress to service members and their families and veterans. 6. The areas that will be deprioritized by CFPB Supervision will be loans for “justice involved” individuals, medical debt, peer-to-peer platforms and lending, student loans, remittances, consumer data and digital payments. 7. Respect Federalism” and not prioritize supervision where States “have and exercise” ample regulatory and supervisory authority and participating in multi-state exams (unless required by statute). 8. Eliminate duplicative supervision where other federal agencies have supervisory jurisdiction 9. Not pursue supervision under “novel legal theories.” 10. For fair lending, ignore redlining or “bias assessment” based solely on statistical evidence, and only pursue matters with “proven actual intentional racial discrimination and actual identified victims.” Peggy and Paul also discussed their skepticism as to whether CFPB Supervision will be able to comply with its statutory duties if the RIF is carried out and Supervision's staff is reduced to 50 employees. Alan Kaplinsky, former longtime Chair of the Consumer Financial Group and now Senior Counsel hosted the podcast.

In response to Defendant Shawn Carter's motion for sanctions, the Plaintiff argues that the motion is both frivolous and procedurally improper. The Plaintiff contends that Carter's reliance on a single television interview to challenge the veracity of events that occurred twenty-four years ago, when the Plaintiff was thirteen, does not substantiate a claim for sanctions. They emphasize that discrepancies in recollection, especially concerning traumatic events from decades prior, are common and do not equate to bad faith or warrant sanctions. Furthermore, the Plaintiff highlights that Carter's attempt to bypass the mandatory twenty-one-day safe harbor provision under Rule 11 lacks legal precedent and justification, rendering his request to expedite the filing deadline to one day as unfounded.The Plaintiff also underscores that expecting a sexual assault victim, particularly one who was a minor at the time and has disclosed being autistic, to have precise recall of all details is unreasonable. They reference New York courts' recognition that survivors of childhood sexual abuse may not remember exact dates or times, which does not invalidate their claims. The Plaintiff asserts that Carter's threats of immediate sanctions are intended to intimidate and silence the Plaintiff and other potential claimants, constituting an abuse of the judicial process. They conclude by urging the court to deny Carter's motion, stating that it lacks substantive merit and is procedurally defective.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - NYC-#6394976-v8A-Draft_Rule_11_Opp__MoL

Sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic is my god-given right as an American. Listen to the full episode on our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/deniersplaybook) TELL GOV. HOCHUL TO FIGHT FOR CONGESTION PRICING (if you live in New York state): +1 (518) 474-8390 or https://www.governor.ny.gov/content/governor-contact-form SAMPLE SCRIPT: I'm a New York state resident and I am reaching out to urge Gov. Hochul to continue supporting New York City's Congestion Pricing plan and fight against the federal government's insane attempts to shut it down. This policy has already decreased traffic congestion, reduced travel times for people of all income brackets traveling into the city, increased business-friendly foot traffic in the city, and raised much needed revenues to improve our public transportation system. We cannot allow the federal government to bully our state into reversing a popular and effective policy, and I ask that you continue doing everything in your power to make sure the policy remains in effect.

(Alien Captured By Air Force) *** Dale Earnhardt Jr. says he was pulled from a flaming car by a paranormal entity. Did a ghostly specter save this NASCAR driver's life? (The Race Car Angel) *** William Dunham was ill-tempered, ready to fight at all times – especially when drunk. He owned two less-than-reputable establishments. So it shouldn't be a surprise people would want him dead. But when one has so many enemies, it's not easy for police to find out who the person was that murdered you. (The Dunham Murder) *** I'll share an account of something very disturbing seen in Michigan – a strange creature… a grayish-colored entity more man than beast, but more paranormal than normal. (Michigan Humanoid) *** Visiting haunted houses, cursed lands, driving on ghostly roads… they all can be scary. Stepping into a hospital at night is incredibly spooky. But image what kind of stories you'd have to tell if you were a night-shift employee at a cemetery. (Creepy Stories of Cemetery Workers) *** In all of their different incarnations, the Men in Black usually have one main purpose: to muzzle witnesses of strange, paranormal phenomena. That's exactly what happened to one UFO hunter while researching what is now known as the Rendlesham Forest incident.
