More than 1,000 women and their families are suing J&J and Imerys, claiming the companies have known about a connection between the long-term use of baby powder and ovarian cancer for years and failed to warn them.
Elon Musk will take the wraps off the company’s first mass-production electric car this evening. If you want one anytime soon—and particularly if you want to have any hope of taking full advantage of government subsidies—you should probably get in line at a dealership to put down a $1,000 deposit in person. Nevermind that no one has even seen the car yet and the first delivery won’t happen for at least another year.
A nonprofit with ties to Senator John McCain received a $1 million donation from the government of Saudi Arabia in 2014, according to documents filed with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Though federal law strictly bans foreign contributions to electoral campaigns, the restriction doesn’t apply to nonprofits engaged in policy, even those connected to a sitting lawmaker. Groups critical of the current ethics laws say that McCain’s nonprofit effectively gives Saudi Arabia—or any other well-heeled interests—a means of making large donations to politicians it hopes to influence.
Kviabryggja Prison in western Iceland doesn’t need walls, razor wire, or guard towers to keep the convicts inside. Alone on a wind-swept cape, the old farmhouse is bound by the frigid North Atlantic on one side and fields of snow-covered lava rock on another. To the east looms Snaefellsjokull, a dormant volcano blanketed by a glacier. There’s only one road back to civilization. This is where the world’s only bank chiefs imprisoned in connection with the 2008 financial crisis are serving their sentences.
Despite years of resistance from Wall Street, the U.S. Department of Labor is expected to announce soon the final version of a rule that may force financial advisers to abandon the way they’ve done business for decades. For the first time, all advisers may need to act as fiduciaries, putting their clients’ interests first when handling retirement accounts.
Based in a small town southwest of Tokyo, Cellebrite built its business on pinball machines and stumbled into the mobile phone security business almost by accident. Now it’s at the center of a legal tussle between Apple and the U.S. government.
Andrés Sepúlveda sat before six computer screens. On his nape are the words “</head>” and “<body>” stacked atop each other, dark riffs on coding. He was watching a live feed of Peña Nieto’s victory party, waiting for an official declaration of the results from the Mexican presidential election. When Nieto won, Sepúlveda began destroying evidence: frying hard drives in a microwave, shredding servers in Ukraine and shredding documents. He was dismantling what he says was a secret history of one of the dirtiest Latin American campaigns in recent memory.
