Former FTX Founder Found Guilty of Securities Fraud, Money Laundering
Sam Bankman-Freete, the former FTX founder, has been found guilty on seven charges including securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. Prosecutors accused the 31-year-old of using FTX and Alameda Research for personal gain, and he now faces the possibility of decades in prison. The swift conviction serves as a warning to other potential fraudsters, highlighting that no one is untouchable or too powerful to be prosecuted.
Uber and Lyft Settle Lawsuit, Agree to Pay Drivers
Uber and Lyft have reached a settlement with the New York Attorney General, agreeing to pay a total of $380 million to current and former drivers. The lawsuit alleged that the rideshare companies improperly charged drivers for sales taxes and additional fees that should have been borne by customers. As part of the settlement, Uber and Lyft will also provide paid sick leave and a minimum wage of $26 per hour for drivers outside of New York City.
