To be sure, earlier this year BlackRock and State Street publicly proclaimed that they withdrew from one of the organizations that they previously used to coordinate their anticompetitive conduct, Climate Action 100+. But formal withdrawal from that one organization does not change the reality that Defendants' holdings threaten to substantially reduce competition in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act. Nor does it negate the ongoing and future threat of Defendants' coordinated anticompetitive conduct or absolve Defendants of their legal liability for past violations.Coca-Cola accused of quietly dropping its 25% reusable packaging targetRacial diversity falling among new corporate directors: Conference BoardAT&T CEO: If Trump slashes taxes, we will invest more in American infrastructureHeadliniest of the WeekDR: Nomura boss takes pay cut after employee 'tried to kill clients' MMThe worker allegedly stole money from clients and set fire to their home after visiting them on 28 July this year.Nomura apologised to the alleged victims, and said CEO Kentaro Okuda would voluntarily return 30% of his pay for three months.In addition, nine other Nomura directors and executives will return 20% to 30% of their pay for the same period.MM: Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume reportedly booed by workers after telling them he didn't live in a ‘fantasy world'Who Won the Week?DR: Amateur ESG conspiracy theoristsMM: Professional ESG conspiracy theoristsPredictionsDR: This is an easy one: C-suite security spending rises to unprecedented levelsMM: Gun controlTexas - sues Blackrock AND gets to hear the eventual new Musk pay case?

This week in religion, Fred Bodimer reports on the Roman Catholic Church's historic $880 million settlement for over 1,300 child sex abuse victims in Los Angeles, the largest of its kind. With over 300 priests accused, the total settlements have now surpassed $1.5 billion. The settlement follows a new California law extending the statute of limitations and applying treble damages for cover-ups. Archbishop Jose Gomez expresses hope that the settlement will aid in healing for the victims.

In a major victory for Birmingham's Black communities, the Department of Justice has secured an $8 million settlement from Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation for discriminatory lending practices known as redlining. Fairway also faces a $1.9 million civil penalty. The settlement includes $7 million for affordable loan programs to help Black residents in Birmingham purchase or improve homes and an additional $1 million for community investment. This is part of the Justice Department's broader Combatting Redlining Initiative, which has now surpassed $150 million in relief for impacted communities nationwide. Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized that these actions aim to reverse historic discrimination and build wealth through home ownership in Black communities. Fairway's practices show they directed less than 3 percent of advertising to majority Black areas. The case marks the 15th redlining settlement in three years. Learn more about your ad choices.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on a multi-million dollar settlement in the fiery Ohio derailment.

This Day in Legal History: Nixon ResignsOn this day in legal history, August 8, 1974, President Richard Nixon announced his resignation from the office of the President of the United States, becoming the first and only president to do so. This unprecedented event followed the Watergate scandal, a complex political affair that began with a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and led to a series of revelations about abuses of power by the Nixon administration. Facing almost certain impeachment by Congress on charges of obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress, Nixon chose to resign rather than prolong the national crisis.In his televised resignation speech, Nixon acknowledged that he no longer had a sufficient political base in Congress to continue effectively governing. He expressed regret for any injuries caused by his actions and highlighted his achievements while in office, yet he did not admit to any wrongdoing in the Watergate affair. Vice President Gerald Ford was sworn in as President on August 9, 1974, and later granted Nixon a full pardon for any crimes he might have committed against the United States while in office.Nixon's resignation marked a significant moment in American legal and political history, underscoring the constitutional processes in place to address presidential misconduct. It also led to reforms aimed at increasing transparency and accountability in government, such as the Ethics in Government Act and amendments to the Freedom of Information Act. This event reshaped public trust in the presidency and highlighted the importance of upholding the rule of law at the highest levels of government.A federal judge indicated that the attorneys in a class action lawsuit against Google over Chrome's “Incognito” mode are unlikely to receive their full $217 million fee request. During a hearing in Oakland, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers also showed skepticism towards Google's proposal to cut the plaintiffs' attorney fees by 25%. She criticized Google's legal team for suggesting she personally review thousands of time sheet entries.The case, which began four years ago, was settled in April with Google agreeing to delete billions of records from Incognito mode users and make some reforms, but without providing monetary damages to users. The plaintiffs' attorneys, from firms including Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, claimed their fees were justified by 78,880 hours of work and sought a “lodestar multiplier” of 3.5, bringing their total request to $217 million.Judge Rogers commented that she rarely awards multipliers above three and noted the case's partial success. Google's attorney, Andrew Schapiro, argued that the plaintiffs' fees were excessive, pointing out that Google spent only $40 million on the case. The lawsuit initially filed in 2020 alleged that Incognito mode improperly retained user data despite claims of privacy.The settlement requires Google to clarify data collection practices and allow Incognito users to block third-party cookies for five years. Individuals can also seek monetary damages in California state court. The plaintiffs originally sought $9 billion in damages, but Google's attorney argued the final settlement warranted a lower fee due to its limited success. The case is Brown v. Google LLC.Google ‘Incognito' Case Attorneys Unlikely to Win $217 MillionThomas Girardi concealed a $53 million settlement from a young man, Joseph Ruigomez, whose home exploded, and misled him about the funds' status, a Los Angeles federal jury heard. Ruigomez and his family, receiving inconsistent interest payments, repeatedly asked Girardi for settlement details after their 2013 agreement with Pacific Gas & Electric, but Girardi never complied. Girardi claimed he held the funds for Ruigomez's protection, citing his youth and alleged drug dependency, though Ruigomez clarified he was on narcotics for pain management due to extensive medical procedures.During the trial, the defense presented numerous financial documents, while the prosecution did not clarify the annuity terms or the full distribution of the $53 million settlement, which included a $25 million annuity and $12.7 million in legal fees. Kathleen Ruigomez, Joseph's mother, testified that she only learned of the full settlement amount two years later and didn't suspect the discrepancy initially. She later sued Girardi with the help of Robert Finnerty, a former Girardi Keese lawyer.Girardi faces charges of wire fraud for allegedly stealing $15 million in settlement funds meant for clients. He pleaded not guilty, with prosecutors claiming he delayed payments under false pretenses. Girardi, who avoided disciplinary action despite over 200 misconduct complaints, also faces fraud charges in Illinois federal court and multiple civil lawsuits. His firm, Girardi Keese, went bankrupt in 2020. Girardi's mental competency to stand trial is contested, yet he was seen taking organized handwritten notes during the proceedings. The case is USA v. Girardi, in the Central District of California.‘Kingpin' Girardi Hid $53 Million Settlement, Client Says (1)Delta Air Lines Inc. is facing a proposed class action lawsuit following a software outage on July 19 caused by CrowdStrike, which led to widespread flight delays and cancellations. The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, claims that Delta failed to adequately refund passengers or provide the promised meal, hotel, and transportation vouchers. Instead of issuing refunds, Delta allegedly offered e-credits without informing passengers of their legal right to cash refunds, resulting in many passengers accepting the e-credits.The plaintiffs argue that Delta did not fulfill its commitments to passengers affected by cancellations within the airline's control, leading to breaches of contract, fraud, unjust enrichment, and violations of state consumer protection laws. They are seeking class certification and damages, representing all passengers whose flights were canceled between July 19 and July 31, with specific subclasses for California, Colorado, Florida, and Washington state.The CrowdStrike software update that caused the outage disrupted millions of devices using Microsoft Windows, impacting thousands of flights globally. Delta, the official airline of Team USA, struggled particularly hard, affecting nearly 2,000 athletes and staff traveling to Paris for the Olympics. While other airlines recovered quickly, Delta continued to cancel flights into the following week, even though they announced normal operations by July 25.The US Department of Transportation is investigating Delta's response to the glitch after receiving 3,000 complaints from passengers. Delta has declined to comment on the lawsuit, which is being handled by Webb Klase & Lemond LLC and Sauder Schelkopf LLC. The case is Bajra v. Delta Air Lines Inc.Delta Sued Over Inadequate Refunds Following CrowdStrike OutageThe FCC's proposed rules for disclosing AI-generated content in political ads on radio and television have sparked a jurisdictional dispute with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The FCC's rules, announced on July 25, would require broadcasters to announce when AI is used in political ads. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel emphasized the need for voter transparency, comparing the requirement to existing rules about disclosing ad sponsors.Supporters, including AI regulation advocates, see it as a positive step amidst increasing deepfake use in campaigns. However, critics, including the FCC's two Republican commissioners and their FEC counterparts, argue that regulating political disclosures should fall under the FEC's jurisdiction.The proposed FCC rules, now open for public comment until September 4, face uncertainty about whether they can be finalized before the upcoming election. This uncertainty is compounded by the US Supreme Court's decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which limits federal agencies' regulatory powers.The FEC had already been considering similar AI content regulations since last year and recently sought public input on deepfakes in political ads. FCC critics argue that the FCC's efforts overlap and potentially conflict with the FEC's authority. Democratic FEC Vice Chair Ellen Weintraub, however, supports the FCC's initiative, suggesting that both agencies can complement each other.Despite the challenges, proponents believe the FCC's move will raise public awareness about AI in political ads, though the timeline for finalizing these rules remains unclear. The case's complexity is heightened by the evolving legal landscape and potential challenges to the FCC's authority following recent Supreme Court rulings.FCC Election Deepfake Ads Proposal Sparks Turf Fight With FECRipple Labs has been ordered by a Manhattan court to pay the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approximately $125 million in penalties for the improper sale of XRP tokens. This decision follows the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple, CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and co-founder Chris Larsen, accusing them of raising over $1.3 billion through an unregistered securities offering by selling XRP. Although the SEC initially sought $2 billion in fines and penalties, the court's ruling resulted in a significantly lower amount.The SEC had dropped its claims against Garlinghouse and Larsen in October, but the case remained significant as one of the largest enforcement actions in the cryptocurrency sector. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse acknowledged the court's decision, expressing respect and a commitment to continue the company's growth. The SEC emphasized that securities laws apply to investment contracts irrespective of the technology or labels used.This ruling marks a critical moment in the regulation of cryptocurrency sales and enforcement of securities laws within the digital asset space.By way of brief background, the determination of whether a cryptocurrency qualifies as an "investment contract" is pivotal in deciding its classification as a security. This central question hinges on the application of the Howey Test, which examines whether an investment is one of money in a common enterprise with the expectation of profits primarily from the efforts of others–if it is, it constitutes an investment contract. If a cryptocurrency meets these criteria, it falls under the regulatory purview of securities laws, significantly impacting its issuance and trading.Ripple ordered to pay $125 million in penalty for improperly selling XRP tokens | Reuters This is a public episode.

OFAC is capable of extending a long arm of enforcement, reaching sometimes non-U.S. companies that may "cause" another company to violate U.S. Sanctions laws. If you need to find an example of this long reach, look no further than OFAC's recent settlement with SCG Plastics ("SCG"). In this settlement, SCG, a Thai company that sells plastic resins, agreed to pay $20 million for violations of the Iran Sanctions Program.In this episode, Michael Volkov explores the series of actions that led to that $20 million dollar settlement, and the consequences.In a recent enforcement action, SCG Plastics paid OFAC $20 million to resolve violations of the Iran sanctions program, showcasing OFAC's far-reaching jurisdiction.SCG Plastics caused U.S. financial institutions to process $291 million in wire transfer sales of High-Density Polyethylene Resin (HDPE) of Iranian origin from 2017 to 2018, which violated the Iran sanctions program.SCG Plastics voluntarily disclosed 10 violations but did not disclose 457, which led to OFAC determining all 467 violations as egregious.The size of the settlement was due to multiple aggravating factors: SCG Plastics willingly engaged in a multi-year pattern of conduct designed to circumvent the Iran sanctions program, causing significant harm to OFAC sanction policy objectives while earning substantial revenues.Importantly, commercial activity that may fall outside the jurisdiction of OFAC sanctions can still result in a violation when the financial transactions related to the activity are processed through or involve U.S. financial institutions.OFAC emphasized the risks for non-U.S. companies engaging in conduct that causes U.S. persons to violate sanctions, in this case processing the transactions, which would not have been done with adequate disclosure, highlighting the importance of compliance with U.S. sanctions and export control laws.ResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

At the intersection of Erwin Place and Oceanside Road, 17-year-old driver Nicollette Iacone pulled to a stop and crept forward to peer beyond obstructing hedges on the Grassi, Kotter, and Piccoli property line and an inoperable control cabinet before making a left turn. Sal Passanisi, Jr., who was speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol, collided with Nicollette, resulting in life-altering traumatic brain injuries. The jury returned a verdict assigning 14% negligence to Sal and 86% negligence to Nassau County. Ultimately, all parties settled for a total of $25,425,000.   Guest Bios: Erin Hargis Erin M.

In a rare interview, two Genesis creditors discuss their dealings with the lender and DCG, including the sales pitch that got them to give Genesis new loans after the 3AC debacle. Two Genesis creditors, BJ and Branden, who prefer to use pseudonyms for security reasons, spoke with Unchained about the alleged fraud by the crypto lender and its parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG). The discussion is one of the first times Genesis creditors have spoken with a media organization about the situation. BJ and Branden explain how they gave more loans to Genesis after it took a $1.1 billion hit from the liquidation of Three Arrows Capital and how they then came to be members of the ad hoc group, a collective of Genesis customers who came together to try and save the company from bankruptcy. They talk about how they now want DCG to pay back the $1.1 billion it owes over a shorter timeframe and to pay back any Bitcoin in actual Bitcoin. The discussion with Unchained followed shortly after New York Attorney General Leticia James filed a lawsuit against Genesis, along with its parent company Digital Currency Group, and Gemini Trust.
