The U.S. Justice Department's top prosecutor in San Francisco is targeting artificial intelligence (AI) and other tech start-ups that defraud investors before they go public, he told Reuters. Ismail Ramsey, who became U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California a year ago, said his office is uniquely positioned to crack down on tech start-ups that mislead investors on the path to initial public offerings (IPOs) given his proximity to Silicon Valley venture and angel investors. High-profile examples of such frauds by start-ups include Theranos, whose founder Elizabeth Holmes and president Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani were convicted of deceiving Silicon Valley investors about the start-up's blood-testing technology, or uBiome Inc, a San Francisco start-up whose co-founders were charged with defrauding investors about its ability to expand clinical tests to monitor gut health.

Six former law enforcement officers who prosecutors say called themselves the "Goon Squad" are expected to be sentenced this week after they pled guilty last year to U.S. civil rights charges for brutally assaulting two Black men, including shooting one in the mouth. Five of the men were Rankin County sheriff's deputies and one was a police officer in Richland, Mississippi. According to federal prosecutors, the defendants - Brett McAlpin, Christian Dedmon, Hunter Elward, Joshua Hartfield, Jeffrey Middleton and Daniel Opdyke - entered a home on Jan. 24, 2023, in Braxton, Mississippi, near Jackson, without a search warrant.
Central bankers said on Tuesday they have broken new ground by using artificial intelligence to collect data for assessing climate-related financial risks, just as the volume of disclosures from banks and other companies is set to rise. The Bank for International Settlements, a forum for central banks, the Bank of Spain, Germany's Bundesbank and the European Central Bank said their experimental Gaia AI project was used to analyse company disclosures on carbon emissions, green bond issuance and voluntary net-zero commitments. Regulators of banks, insurers and asset managers need high-quality data to assess the impact of climate-change on financial institutions.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday is set to consider a California woman's bid to overturn her conviction for smuggling drugs across the U.S.-Mexican border in a legal dispute over her defense that she acted unwittingly as a "blind" drug mule. The justices will hear arguments in Delilah Guadalupe Diaz's appeal after a lower court refused to exclude testimony by an expert witness who cast doubt on her claim that she did not know that methamphetamine valued at $368,550 was hidden in the door panels of the car she was driving. The case tests how far law enforcement agents testifying as expert witnesses can go in telling a jury that defendants in certain drug trafficking cases generally have a "guilty mind."

Donald Trump's sway over Ohio Republicans will be tested in the state's U.S. Senate primary on Tuesday, when they decide whether to nominate a political newcomer backed by the former president to challenge Democratic U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown in November. Republicans are looking to erase Democrats' 51-49 majority in the chamber, and face a geographical advantage as Democrats are defending a half-dozen seats in competitive states including Ohio. The state backed Trump in its last two presidential elections, and he won by eight percentage points in 2020.

New Orleans forward Herbert Jones learned a long time ago the critical component to being an elite defensive stopper was keeping whoever you're guarding in front of you. It's that simple. It's that difficult, too. “You do the best you can,” Jones said. Contrary to popular belief, there HAS been some defense played in the NBA this season (it's just been tougher). It's been on display more following the All-Star break and on the heels of that record-setting 211-186 All-Star Game when all signs of
