‘Untouchable’ attorney charged with sex trafficking

‘Untouchable’ attorney arrested, charged with human trafficking Amber Hunt Kevin Grasha Liz Dufour Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer For more than 15 years, alleged victims of Michael Mearan felt like they were screaming into the void. In voices both strained with emotion and seemingly hardened with trauma, they stepped forward – cautiously, with trepidation – to level their allegations: that Mearan, a former Portsmouth, Ohio, city councilman and still-practicing attorney, trapped them in a cycle of drug abuse and sexual servitude. They told their stories to agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. To FBI investigators. To journalists with The Enquirer. The worst that came of it were the convictions of eight defendants who pleaded guilty to drug charges – and none of those eight were Mearan. On Friday, everything changed. After literally decades of rumors and investigations, Mearan was arrested on human trafficking, racketeering and related charges. He’s expecte...

JPMorgan Chase's $920 million spoofing settlement: Do DPAs and NPAs encourage recidivism? | The FCPA Blog

JPMorgan Chase's $920 million spoofing settlement: Do DPAs and NPAs encourage recidivism? | The FCPA Blog JPMorgan Chase’s $920 million spoofing settlement: Do DPAs and NPAs encourage recidivism? Dylan Phillips October 20, 2020 7:58 am Last month, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ordered JPMorgan Chase & Company and its subsidiaries to pay a total of $920.2 million for artificially manipulating market prices of precious metals by sending false signals to other market participants. This spoofing settlement is the highest monetary relief ever imposed by the CFTC. But is it just another high-dollar settlement in what has become a pattern of recidivism over the last decade? JPMorgan Chase has entered multiple pre-trial agreements with the Department of Justice. After admitting to being a part of the Bernie Madoff Ponzi Scheme in 2014, it paid a $1.7 billion settlement as part of a DPA. And in 2016, it paid $264 million as a part of an NPA to settle FCPA charges. Based ...

Traffickers profiting as pandemic makes crime harder to crack: U.N Traffickers profiting as pandemic makes crime harder to crack, U.N. warns by Kieran Guilbert | Thomson Reuters Foundation Sunday, 18 October 2020 00:01 GMT More people seen at risk of modern slavery as COVID-19 pummels the global economy By Kieran Guilbert LONDON, Oct 18 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Human traffickers are capitalising on the coronavirus pandemic to target people ranging from jobless migrants to out-of-school children, two United Nations specialists said, warning that the fallout from COVID-19 had driven the crime further underground. The global economic slowdown has left countless people jobless, desperate and at risk of exploitation, while victims of trafficking are less likely to be found or receive help with attention and resources diverted elsewhere, the experts said. An estimated 25 million people worldwide are victims of labour and sex trafficking, according to the U...

The world is filled with jerks. Dicks are a special breed of jerk—they give offense to the world without a shred of awareness that they’re doing so, and deny they have a role when relationships go wrong. The sad truth is, anybody can be a dick sometimes. How does anyone know when he or she is being a jerk?  article continues after advertisement Of the numerous people I've told about this book so far, many have said something like: "Wow, that's great!
