Augustus "Gus" Downing's Obituary | 1953-2025
 Augustus
"Gus" Owens Downing III of Concord, Ohio passed away on Jan. 5, 2025, at the age
of 71.
He is survived by his wife, Jacqueline (Bryan) of Venice, Florida; son, Gregory
Baysek of San Francisco, California; sister, Dianna Culpepper; aunt, Betty
McCraw, of Virginia Beach, Virginia; sister-in-law, Susette Bryan, of Venice,
Florida; Goddaughter, Elizabeth Bryan-Caswell (husband Andrew), and great-nephew
Oliver William Bryan-Caswell of Gainesville, Florida. He was predeceased by his
sister, Lynne.
Gus was the CEO of Downing & Downing, Inc., a company he co-founded in 1983. His
work with the D&D Daily, the leading online daily newsletter for the retail loss
prevention industry, was unparalleled with worldwide circulation. He had a
vibrancy and passion for his work like no other. He summed it up while accepting
the 'Ring of Excellence' award from the National Retail Federation in 2019 by
saying, "Many can make a splash, but few can change the tide." Gus certainly
changed the tide in both his personal and professional lives.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Anti-Theft Laws Are Good, But More
Data is Needed As Well
'Retail theft is undoubtedly underreported'
More Data is Needed in California's Fight Against Retail Theft
New
state laws regarding organized retail theft and property crime took
effect in California on Jan. 1. Last August, California Governor Gavin
Newsom signed a "landmark
legislative package," which includes stricter penalties for
individuals involved in retail and property theft, sentence enhancements
for property damage to businesses, and stronger tools to ensure law
enforcement can arrest retail theft suspects.
Although these new laws will make it easier to prosecute retail theft,
they don't address the need for a clearer understanding of retail
crime in California. According to a 2024 Little Hoover Commission
report,
Retail Theft: A Data-Driven Response, more detailed crime
data is needed for policymakers to develop an evidence-based response to
the issue.
The Little Hoover Commission, California's independent watchdog agency,
released the report after conducting a comprehensive study on retail
theft amid reports of rising retail crime in the state and complaints
from retailers and law enforcement officials that existing statutes were
inadequate. After looking at available data, the Commission found that
despite a recent uptick, reported retail theft remained at roughly the
same level as during the 2010s and lower than it had been in earlier
decades. Retail theft is undoubtedly
underreported, but the degree of underreporting is difficult to
determine.
The Commission also learned that the state does not consistently
collect detailed retail crime data, such as the circumstances
surrounding a crime, law enforcement's response, demographic data about
the people arrested, and the final disposition of the case.
The Commission commended the Department of Justice for its existing
data initiatives, and recommended they be expanded in consultation with
experts to include a much higher level of detail. In addition to
data collection, the Commission recommended that the state partner with
California universities and other nonpartisan research institutions to
study preventative measures, rates of underreporting, economic impact,
and drivers of public perception.

Did Violent Crime Really Hit a 50-Year
Low?
Biden Justice Department 'manipulated' crime data to fit Democrats'
narrative: retired police officer
Biden administration claimed violent
crime rate in US was at 50-year low
A law enforcement expert is poking holes in the now-former Biden
administration Department of Justice's repeated claims that violent
crime sank to a 50-year record low, saying the agency "manipulated
data" to reach its conclusion.
In 2024, the Biden administration repeatedly claimed that violent crime
was at a 50-year low, based on FBI statistics. The FBI defines the
following as "violent crime": murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery and
aggravated assault.
But Ken Alexandrow, a security expert who served for 26 years as a
Nashville, Tennessee, police officer, said the former administration
"manipulated data" to reach a certain outcome.
"The way crime statistics are developed is that police departments
around the nation send all their category 1 crimes, which are violent
crimes, to the FBI. And then the FBI develops nationwide statistics,"
Alexandrow said. "But the changes happen when a new administration comes
in, and they change the reporting conditions."
The Biden administration did just that, Alexandrow alleged. He said the
administration changed reporting from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)
program to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).

'Data-Driven Risk Scoring'
To Combat Mounting Cargo Theft, Verisk Launches CargoNet® RouteScore API
CargoNet's RouteScore API bolsters
cargo security with advanced, data-driven risk scoring
Cargo theft losses in the U.S. continue to climb: 2024 is projected
to record 25 percent more losses than 2023, a year that also reached
all-time highs for reported incidents. Verisk, a leading global data
analytics and technology provider, today launched CargoNet® RouteScore
API, a solution aimed at significantly minimizing the risk of cargo
theft. RouteScore API uses a proprietary algorithm to generate a
cargo theft route risk score that provides a relative measure of
probability that crime and loss will occur along any route in the U.S.
and Canada.
Verisk CargoNet is uniquely positioned to deliver an industry-leading
cargo theft scoring algorithm that provides unparalleled accuracy and
insight with the use of best-in-industry data and analytics.
RouteScore measures the probability of a loss for individual risks by
assigning a score of 1 to 100 - with 1 representing the lowest
likelihood. RouteScore is based on critical factors such as cargo type,
value, length of haul, origin, destination, day of the week, and the
theft history of truck stops. In addition to generating a score, the
model also observes the key variables that most influenced the score and
provides a list of the riskiest truck stops along the route.
"RouteScore exemplifies our commitment to helping the industry manage
and mitigate risk," said Ryan Shepherd, general manager of Verisk's
CargoNet. "By providing actionable insights through advanced data
analysis, Verisk is empowering the insurance and the transportation
industry to protect their assets and ensure a safer delivery of goods."

Will the Feds Go After Local Law
Enforcement & Other Officials?
'Come after us': California politicians react to Trump immigration order
to prosecute those who defy enforcement efforts
Trump order marks second time he
goes after sanctuary state, but first time targeting "local actors" for
prosecution
A Trump Administration order to investigate and prosecute state and
local officials who defy its immigration enforcement policies
spurred immediate and defiant pushback from California politicians,
lawyers and immigration advocates Wednesday.
"Come after us," State Sen. Jesse Arreguín said during a news conference
in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood. "You want to arrest us for
protecting our community? Come after us."
The U.S. Justice Department directive, first obtained by the Washington
Post, comes just days into Trump's second presidency, won in part on
promises to "launch the largest deportation program" in history.
Sanctuary states such as California and counties and cities in
the Bay Area and beyond have passed their own regulations restricting
state and local law enforcement officers from helping federal agents
with immigration enforcement activities, from assisting ICE raids to
detaining undocumented inmates at local jails.

Wheeling, WV: Crime Rates In Wheeling Fall For 2024
Violent crime rose last year in Dayton; here's how city, police plan to
respond
Charlottesville, Albemarle, UVA announce new initiative to reduce
violent crime
15K Closures Coming This Year
US store closures to again outpace openings this year
Coresight Research expects some
15,000 locations to shutter in 2025, with plans already up well over
300% year over year.
U.S. retailers are expected to close more stores than they open again
this year, according to Coresight Research. Last year, 5,970 stores
opened and 7,325 closed, a net loss of 1,355 as of Jan. 10. In 2025,
Coresight expects about 15,000 U.S. stores to
shutter, as openings remain steady at about 5,800.
As of Friday, Coresight tracked more than 2,000 closures slated for
this year, which represents a
year-over-year increase of more than 334%, compared to nearly
30% fewer openings.
As Coresight notes, these trends reflect liquidations where retailers
shutter all locations; distressed companies scaling back their fleets,
sometimes due to restructuring or bankruptcy; and changes in
brick-and-mortar strategy.
The closures announced for this year have been largely driven by
announcements from Party City, Big Lots, Kohl's and Macy's, the
firm said.

AI: Retail's Hottest Topic?
At NRF, 40,000 humans contemplate AI
Artificial intelligence is useful to
many areas of retail, from sourcing to customer service, making it a hot
topic during this year's Big Show.
At the National Retail Federation's Big Show at the Javits Center this
year, the topic of AI was inescapable.
Nvidia's Azita Martin, who is the company's vice president and general
manager for retail and CPG, helped set the tone Sunday morning, as she
discussed "game-changing times for the retail industry" with
Walmart U.S. chief John Furner. The next day she spoke with Lowe's Chief
Digital and Information Officer Seemantini Godbole and Randy Lack of
Dell Technologies about how the home improvement retailer "leverages AI
to become an agile digital retailer."
"AI is real, and I encourage all of you to get started," Martin
told the NRF audience, after Furner noted that AI can be intimidating.
"I would first of all really recommend that the AI initiatives be
top-driven. In other words, you need executive sponsorship. You need to
have the top executives in your company believing. The second thing I
would look at is, what are some of your biggest business challenges?"
Because of the massive number of AI-related sessions, speakers and
vendors at the Big Show this year, there is no way to capture all
that was said on this vast topic, but here are four themes that emerged.

San Francisco's Retail Exodus
Continues
Bloomingdale's to close San Francisco Centre anchor
The move will leave the struggling
mall with another space to fill, and the luxury department store's only
full-line locations outside the city.
Bloomingdale's is closing its San Francisco Centre anchor store, Macy's
Inc. confirmed by email. After operating there for nearly 20 years,
the location will close in late spring, the company said.
The move will leave the city without a Bloomingdale's. The luxury
department store's nearest full-line stores are in Palo Alto and Santa
Clara. Bloomingdale's departure will further deplete Macy's Inc.'s
presence in San Francisco.
Nearly a decade ago, the company
sold off its Macy's menswear location in the Union Square shopping
district, where Macy's still has a full-line store. Last year, that
Macy's flagship was
rumored to be on the closure list, though it wasn't in
the first round that the company confirmed earlier this month.

Employee Satisfaction Reaches All-Time
Low
Workplace Challenges for 2025
Gallup says leaders need to
prioritize creating a culture of well-being that surpasses their current
efforts to sustain employee performance.
With the start of every new year, it makes sense to look at the trends
that will affect your workforce. A recent article from Gallup on
workforce trends found a number of interesting trends.
They note "historically low employee engagement and wellbeing levels
indicate employees are struggling. Many report feeling disconnected from
their organization's mission and like their organization doesn't care
about them."
Furthermoe, the measure of key employee experiences remain below
pre-pandemic levels.
In 2024, U.S. employee engagement reached an 11-year low. Other
key measures tell an even gloomier story: Overall employee satisfaction
returned to an all-time record low, and employees are seeking new job
opportunities at the highest level since 2015.

Stakes Have Never Been Higher for Retail
Cybersecurity
Retail Cybersecurity in 2025: Trends, Risks, and Solutions
Learn about the latest retail cybersecurity
trends, threats, challenges, and the best solutions.
Retail ranks among the top five industries most vulnerable to cybersecurity
attacks-and the stakes have never been higher. Today's cybercriminals aren't
just after credit card numbers, they're targeting sensitive personal data and
the massive cash flows coursing through ecommerce businesses.
The consequences are bad. From compromised customer data and drained bank
accounts to hefty regulatory fines and lasting reputational damage, a single
attack can bring your thriving ecommerce business to its knees. Your best
offense is a rock-solid defense.
Below, you'll learn about the latest retail cybersecurity statistics, common
threats, retail cybersecurity challenges and how to address them, and the best
solutions for protecting your business from cyberattacks.
Trends and stats showing the state of retail
cybersecurity
Cybercrime will cost the world $9.5 trillion in 2024. That figure is more
than the national economies of every country in the world, with the exception of
the US and China.
Today, the average data breach cost stands at $4.88
million. Retailers are prime targets, with about a quarter of
cybercrimes aimed at the industry.
Nearly half of all traffic to retail sites isn't even human. Between 2021
and 2022, around 40% of retail traffic came from bots-automated programs that
can scrape customer data, test stolen credentials, or even crash a site.
And it's not just big firms that are at risk. A whopping 43% of all
cyberattacks target small businesses, more than 60% of which are forced to
close within six months of a breach. Retail owners risk losing data,
reputation, money, and even their business to retail cybersecurity attacks.

AI Guardrails Scaled Back by Trump
Trump rescinds Biden executive order in AI regulatory overhaul
The directive, issued in October 2023, added
guardrails for AI developers and bolstered guidance for businesses looking to
adopt the technology.
President Donald Trump kept his campaign promise to repeal former President Joe
Biden's AI-focused executive order, issued in October 2023.
The executive order required advanced AI developers to submit safety results
to the federal government. The provisions also called for standards-setting,
procurement process changes and the creation of the U.S. AI Safety Institute but
stopped short of imposing consequences for non-compliant businesses.
Analysts and industry experts are expecting President Trump to govern AI with
a light regulatory touch. Big tech CEOs, including Meta's Mark Zuckerberg
and Google's Sundar Pichai, attended the inauguration Monday.
The Trump administration spent its first day in the White House enacting a
broad regulatory overhaul. The October 2023 executive order is one of more
than 70 Biden-era directives rescinded by President Trump.
Trump appointed Silicon Valley investor and entrepreneur David Sacks as White
House AI and Crypto Czar, tasked with guiding the administration's policy.
Analysts suggested the pick proved to be another sign of easing restraints on
AI innovation.

CISOs: Keep Calm & Carry On
Why CISOs Must Think Clearly Amid Regulatory Chaos
Even as the rule book changes, the
profession of the CISO remains unchanged: protecting the organization in a world
of constant, continually evolving threats.
In the high-stakes world of cybersecurity, the ground is shifting beneath the
feet of those charged with protecting our digital infrastructure. First came the
new Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and lawsuits related to
cybersecurity. More recently, a US Supreme Court ruling promises to reshape the
regulatory landscape, compelling federal officials to rethink their approach to
cyber governance.
Yet amid this whirlwind of change that has descended on the industry, it's
critical for chief information security officers (CISOs) to remain steadfast and
not be deterred - or discouraged - by this shift.
Therefore, my message, drawn from decades in the security field, resonates with
the stiff-upper-lip slogan of Britain in the run-up to World War II: Keep calm
and carry on.

How Will AI Impact the Internet's Fake Review Problem?
The internet is rife with fake reviews. Will AI make it worse?
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence tools that allow people
to efficiently produce novel and detailed online reviews with almost no work
has put merchants, service providers and consumers in uncharted territory,
watchdog groups and researchers say.
Phony reviews have long plagued many popular consumer
websites, such as Amazon and Yelp. They are typically traded on
private social media groups between fake review brokers and businesses willing
to pay. Sometimes, such reviews are initiated by businesses that offer customers
incentives such as gift cards for positive feedback.
But AI-infused text generation tools, popularized by OpenAI's ChatGPT, enable
fraudsters to produce reviews faster and in greater volume, according to tech
industry experts. The deceptive practice is illegal in the U.S.
Fake reviews are found across a wide range of industries, from
e-commerce, lodging and restaurants, to services such as home repairs, medical
care and piano lessons.
The Transparency Company, a tech company and watchdog group that uses software
to detect fake reviews, said it started to see AI-generated reviews show up in
large numbers in mid-2023, and they have multiplied ever since.
For a report released in December, The Transparency Company analyzed 73 million
reviews in three sectors: home, legal and medical services. Nearly 14% of the
reviews were likely fake, and the company expressed a "high degree of
confidence" that 2.3 million reviews were partly or entirely AI-generated.
In September, the Federal Trade Commission sued the company behind an AI writing
tool and content generator called Rytr, accusing it of offering a service that
could pollute the marketplace with fraudulent reviews.
The FTC, which banned the sale or purchase of fake reviews, said some of
Rytr's subscribers used the tool to produce hundreds and perhaps thousands of
reviews for garage door repair companies, sellers of "replica" designer handbags
and other businesses.

Online shopping frauds bedevil buyers
Scammers target gullible shoppers through
catchy deals posted on Facebook, Instagram
Over the years, numerous cases of fraud have been reported in various online
transaction businesses, including the purchase of cars, kitchen appliances, and
clothing.
With many oblivious buyers falling prey to online scammers, cybercrime has
assumed the status of a significant threat for shoppers in the virtual world of
anonymity.
As a result, a large number of people are approaching the cybercrime department
of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to file complaints.

Monroe Township, NJ: New Jersey man charged in $200,000 Amazon delivery
scam
A 34-year-old man has been charged in connection with an elaborate
Amazon delivery scam that netted nearly $200,000 in stolen merchandise,
authorities announced Thursday. Aneury Castillo-Blanco of Passaic was
arrested following a months-long investigation by Monroe Township Police
detectives. Castillo-Blanco is accused of using fake identification
documents and disguises to fraudulently operate several Amazon delivery
routes. Investigators say he transported packages from an Amazon
fulfillment center to a storage unit in Middlesex County, where the
merchandise was diverted and stolen. The scheme caused a total loss of
$192,199.32 worth of Amazon products, according to police.
Castillo-Blanco faces charges including theft by deception, 95 counts of
burglary, and four counts of impersonation.

Santa Ana, CA: Arizona men sentenced to 120 days in jail for stealing
$300,000 worth of Nike tennis shoes
Two men have pleaded guilty and been sentenced to time served for
stealing about $300,000 worth of Nike goods from a train in the Mojave
Desert and then taking them to Anaheim, according to court records
obtained Wednesday. Bernardo Romeroquintero, 34, and Olegario Palma
Flores, 26, both of Phoenix, pleaded guilty Tuesday to grand theft and
receiving stolen property, both felonies, and a misdemeanor count of
possession of burglary tools. Co-defendant Bryan Humberto
Quinteroecharravia, 18, of Mesa, Arizona, who is charged with grand
theft and receiving stolen property, both felonies, is a fugitive.
Romeroquintero and Flores accepted a plea deal from Orange County
Superior Court Judge Terri K. Flynn-Peister, who sentenced them to 120
days in jail, or time already served, and two years of formal probation.
The BNSF Railway was notified in November that a shipping container
stuffed with Nike merchandise had been unhooked from a train parked near
Amboy, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office. Nike
had placed a GPS tracker on the goods, which California Highway Patrol
officers used to find the stolen shoes in a U-Haul truck in a parking
lot in Anaheim, prosecutors said.

Lumberton, NC: Update: Teenager arrested in Chicago a month after woman killed
at North Carolina Walmart
A teenager was arrested in Chicago this week more than a month after a woman was
killed at a North Carolina Walmart. Police said 42-year-old Brandy Nicole Olson
died Dec. 20 after she was shot multiple times in the Walmart on Fayetteville
Road in Lumberton, N.C. Shortly after the shooting, Lumberton police indicated
that Olson was not the intended target, and that the shooters had been aiming
for two people they knew who were also in line inside the store. The shooting
suspects fled the scene immediately after and were later identified as
18-year-old Brian Campbell and 17-year-old Ezekiel Burden. Sister-station WMBF
reported that Campbell turned himself in on Dec. 23, and was charged with
accessory after the fact, relating to Olson's murder. Jail records show he
remained in custody as of Jan. 23. His bond was initially set at $1 million, but
was later lowered to $500,000. While Campbell was arrested within days of the
shooting, the search for Burden lasted much longer. Burden was not taken into
custody until Jan. 21 at a Greyhound bus station in Chicago, the North
Carolina State Bureau of Investigation said.

Social networking sites have in essence dissolved any distance between the
professional and the personal life of an executive. They enable employers to see
every aspect of one's life at any given moment and can show historical patterns
that resumes may not overcome in the future. What a person does on the net stays
on the net, what is written will be read and, as time goes on, background checks
will include social networks that go well beyond Linkedin. On the flip side, one
could do well to maintain a sense of professionalism in every thing they do on
the net and their profiles.
Just a Thought,
