TOTAL RETAIL LOSS Report
HELP REQUIRED WITH NEW RESEARCH ON TOTAL RETAIL LOSS
 In
2016 Professor Beck published a report on the Total Retail Loss (TRL) concept (https://tinyurl.com/y8v5o2p2)
which aimed to provide the retail industry with a new way to define and measure
how losses impact upon retail organisations. Since then it has begun to be
adopted by retailers around the world to varying degrees.
He is now starting some new research to develop this work further, looking
particularly to:
1. Find out about levels of awareness and use of the Total Retail Loss concept.
2. Understand how it should be adapted to keep it fit for purpose.
3. Consider the barriers to its use.
4. Assemble tools and techniques to help those who may want to use it in the
future.
The first part of this research is a short online survey of retailers from
around the world on their levels of awareness of the TRL concept. He would be
very grateful if you could find 10 minutes to complete this survey, which can be
found at:
TOTAL RETAIL LOSS SURVEY LINK
The deadline for replying is 28th February 2019. Thank you very much for taking
the time to contribute to this research - your support is very much appreciated.
The results of this work will be made freely available in the summer of 2019.
Please do contact Professor Beck if you would like to find out more about this
research.

Bezos Security Chief Leading Blackmail, Extortion Investigation
Has Protected Stars for Decades
 The man Jeff Bezos tapped to help determine who might have leaked the
billionaire's personal text messages and photos to the National Enquirer has
spent decades working as a kind of secret service agent to some of Hollywood's
biggest stars.
Gavin de Becker, Mr. Bezos' personal security chief, is known throughout the
entertainment industry for keeping A-list talent safe from the dangerous
trappings of fame: stalkers, death threats and obsessive fans.
Since graduating from Beverly Hills High School in the early 1970s, Mr. de
Becker, 64 years old, has found himself in proximity to some of the biggest
stars and scandals in recent Hollywood history. By 19 he was helping run
security for Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. By his 30s, he was protecting
Cher, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, as celebrities grew more aware of
security concerns in the wake of John Lennon's murder and the attempted
assassination of President Ronald Reagan.
Nothing in his career, though, resembled the past several weeks. On Thursday,
Mr. Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com Inc., published a
blog post accusing
National Enquirer parent company American Media LLC of blackmail and said Mr. de
Becker was leading an investigation into who leaked personal messages sent
between Mr. Bezos and his girlfriend. The investigation also is trying to
determine motives of the Enquirer, he said.

Bezos probe concludes mistress' brother was Enquirer source
 Private
investigators working for Jeff Bezos have concluded that the brother of the
Amazon CEO's mistress leaked the couple's intimate text messages to the National
Enquirer, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Monday.
The findings add to the intrigue surrounding the clash between the pro-Trump
tabloid and the world's richest man. Bezos' investigators have suggested the
Enquirer's coverage of his affair was driven by dirty politics. Trump has been
highly critical of Bezos over his ownership of The Washington Post and Amazon,
and the Post's coverage of the White House.
The brother, Michael Sanchez, is a supporter of President Donald Trump and an
acquaintance of Trump allies Roger Stone and Carter Page. He is also the manager
of his sister, Lauren Sanchez, a former TV anchor. The investigators have not
said how they believe Michael Sanchez came into possession of his sister's
intimate messages.

UK: National Retail Crime Steering Group tackles abusive and violent attacks
510,000 retail assaults/threats in 2017 - Up 150% over 2016
The Minister for Crime, Safeguarding and Vulnerability, Victoria Atkins, is
examining options for providing further protections for shop workers from
violence and abuse. The call for evidence is intended to help strengthen the
evidence base and look at all options for addressing these crimes.
 Chairing a meeting of the National Retail Crime Steering Group today, which
includes members such as the British Retail Consortium and the Association of
Convenience Stores (ACS), Victoria Atkins discussed proposals for a call to
evidence. These include how to protect retail workers from abuse and violence
that often occur from age-restricted sales, such as cigarettes and alcohol.
The Home Office's Commercial Victimisation Survey estimated that in 2017,
workers from the wholesale and retail sector were victim to around 510,000
incidents of assaults and threats, more than twice the number recorded in 2016
(203,000 incidents).
The National Retail Crime Steering Group brings government, police and industry
together to improve the response to crimes affecting the sector, including
assaults and theft. Today the group will focus exclusively on the response to
violence and abuse toward shop workers.
The Home Office will additionally provide £50,000 of funding for a sector-led
communications campaign to raise awareness of the wide ranging offences that may
be used to address this behaviour.

US: Acting Attorney General Matthew G. Whitaker
Delivers Remarks to the National Sheriffs' Association's Winter Conference
When President Trump first took office, violent crime had been rising sharply
for two years.
From 2014 to 2016, the violent crime rate went up by nearly seven percent
nationwide. Robberies went up. Assaults went up by over 8 percent. Rape went up
by nearly 13 percent. Murder went up by a shocking 21 percent.
This team effort inspired us at the Department to ask how we could help you
replicate that success elsewhere on our border. Phil and Jon have been working
with you to create a Real-Time Intelligence Center that will empower Border
sheriffs to share intelligence and interdict drug traffickers.
In the last fiscal year, the Justice Department charged the greatest number of
violent crime defendants since we started to track this category more than 25
years ago. We broke the previous record by nearly 15 percent.
We also charged more than 15,000 defendants with federal firearms offenses,
which is a record. We broke that record by a margin of 17 percent.

Top Management at Rent-A-Center Called "Bunch of
Crooks" in Court
Stealing Intellectual Property? Looking Inside the Books - Wouldn't be the 1st
Time
Using a Merger Deal to Copy Another Retailer?
Vintage Capital partner Brian Kahn while on the stand during a trial in Delaware
on Monday said the directors and top management at Rent-A-Center are "a bunch of
crooks."
Rent-A-Center terminated its merger agreement with Vintage, valued at $1.4
billion with the assumption of debt, in December surprising Vintage officials
who said both sides had agreed that government antitrust review would push the
closing into 2019
"It is fraud. They're a bunch of crooks. They absolutely used this process,
used this merger agreement, to come in and get everything we did that made
Buddy's grow over the last six or seven years," said Kahn during questioning
by Vintage cousel, Tariq Mundiya of Willkie Farr & Gallagher.
Kahn said he and Rent-A-Center CEO Mitch Fadel are longtime friends and that
they agreed to the merger when the Plano-based rent-to-own retailer was
struggling, according to the Law 360 article published Tuesday.
At stake is a
$126.5 million reverse breakup fee that Rent-A-Center is demanding.

A $950 Bong? A $1,475 Weed Grinder?
You Can Find Them at Barneys
Luxury department store Barney's jumps on the cannabis train with a fancy
head shop in Beverly Hills called High End.
Maybe you've heard about MedMen, the design-forward marijuana dispensary chain
that Page Six described as "the Barneys of weed." And then there's the Plug, a
premium dispensary in downtown Los Angeles that LA Weekly called "the Barneys of
weed." Well, there's a new Barneys of weed, and this one has a familiar name:
Barneys. The company may also open the head shop in other states,
including New York if recreational cannabis becomes legal there.

Toys R Us plots a second act with new look, new name - "Tru Kids"
Toys R Us liquidated its business last year,
unable to emerge from bankruptcy after a crippling 2017 holiday season. Its
lenders, including Solus Alternative Asset Management and the Angelo Gordon
investment firm, took control of the company's intellectual property, which
include the Toys R Us, Babies R Us and Geoffrey brand names.
As of Jan. 20, several former Toys R US executives began running a company
called "Tru Kids" to manage those brands, said Richard Barry, new
president of Tru Kids and former chief merchandising officer of Toys R Us.
The full business plan for Tru Kid is still a work in progress, Barry told CNBC.
The new company is exploring multiple options, including stand-alone stores,
pop-up shops or a partnership like the one Solus and Angelo Gordon previously
explored with Kroger. When asked whether Tru Kids would partner with Amazon,
Barry said he would "not take anything off the table at all."

Trump Signs Executive Order Promoting Artificial
Intelligence
 President Trump signed an executive order Monday meant to spur the development
and regulation of artificial intelligence, technology that many experts believe
will define the future of everything from consumer products to health care to
warfare.
A.I. experts across industry, academia and government have
long called on the Trump administration to make the development of
artificial intelligence a major priority.
In a briefing with reporters on Sunday, a senior administration official said
the White House would increase efforts to educate American workers in the field.
The administration plans to work with the National Council for the American
Worker to create educational efforts through industry and academia, and it will
call on government agencies to develop fellowships related to A.I.

Dunkin' Donuts accounts compromised in 2nd credential stuffing attack in 3
months
Dunkin' Donuts announced today that it was the victim of a credential stuffing
attack during which hackers gained access to customer accounts. This marks the
second time in three months that the coffee shop chain notifies users of account
breaches following credential stuffing attacks.
Credentials stuffing is a cyber-security term that describes a type of
cyber-attack where hackers take combinations of usernames and passwords leaked
at other sites and use them to gain (illegal) access on accounts on new sites.
Dunkin' Donuts reported a
first credential stuffing attack at the end of November (the actual attack
occurred on October 31). Today, the company reported a second credential
stuffing attack (attack happened on January 10).
Just like in the first, hackers used user credentials leaked at other sites to
gain entry to DD Perks rewards accounts, which provide repeat customers with a
way to earn points and use them to get free beverages or discounts for other
Dunkin' Donuts products. The type of information typically stored inside a DD
Perks account includes a user's first and last names, email address (also used
as username), a 16-digit DD Perks account number, and a DD Perks QR code.

Experian Global Poll: US Suffers the Most Online
Fraud
U.S. Business & Consumers Getting Hammered More Than
Anyone Else
New data from the credit reporting firm shows the sheer scale of online activity
in the US also has made businesses and consumers there prime targets.
Consumers and businesses in the United States appear to be experiencing
substantially more online fraud than their counterparts in other regions of the
world.
 The situation is driving an increased focus on technologies for detecting and
preventing online fraud, a new survey by Experian shows.
The results showed eight-in-10 US businesses reporting an increase in fraud
losses over the past 12 months, compared to 55% in Europe, the Middle East, and
the rest of Asia. Much of the losses were tied to fraud resulting from account
takeovers and the use of fake and stolen identities.
Experian's
survey shows that some 40% of consumers worldwide have experienced at least
one fraudulent incident online. Here again, the incidence of fraud was much
higher among US consumers than individuals elsewhere.

A Federal Data Privacy Law Could Clarify Rules
But No Solid Proposal Is in Sight
While federal lawmakers meet, discuss, form task forces, consult industry and do
the sundry other things lawmakers do, states are on the move. California's
far-reaching consumer privacy law, which is set to take effect in January 2020,
appears to have spurred on several states to entertain ideas for setting new
limits on how organizations can use consumer information.
At the federal level, some big technology companies-notably
Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corp.-have said
they support a nationwide law to simplify and clarify the rules. But that's been
slow-going and states are pressing ahead, WSJ Pro's Adam Janofsky reports.
States Follow in California's Wake on Data Privacy Legislation
California is setting the pace for strict privacy laws in the U.S. as lawmakers
in at least eight states have put forward data privacy bills in recent weeks.
States including Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, Utah and Washington are
considering laws that would restrict how businesses gather, share and handle
personal information. Many of the laws are modeled after the California Consumer
Privacy Act, a sweeping data privacy bill that was signed into law last June.
Common features of state proposals include the right for residents to know what
information is collected and request that their data is not sold, said Ms.
Illman. These features are part of Europe's General Data Protection Regulation,
enacted last May, and California's privacy act, which goes into effect next
January.

How 'Dynamic Friction' Could Be Online Fraud's
Kryptonite
In the latest edition of the
PYMNTS Masterclass video series, Kevin Lee, trust and safety architect at
Sift, dives deep into the new
landscape of fraud, and gives specific advice about how to best counter it.
Sure, everyone knows fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated and organized -
but how many know what to really do about it? Besides that Masterclass video,
Lee, along with Karen Webster, will discuss this subject further in today's PYMNTS
webinar entitled "Building
a Trust and Safety Team from the Ground Up."
In the new Masterclass video, Lee summed up the evolution of fraud over the past
decade or so, providing an observation that might lead to some anxious nights
for merchants. No longer does fraud typically mean "one individual" trying to
break into an eCommerce platform. "Now, different types of bots and scripts
attack platforms, not one by one but thousands at a time," he said.
And that's not all: Fraud today involves relatively complicated - compared to a
decade or so ago - attempts to take over legitimate accounts or create enduring
fake ones. As well, retailers handle much more than payments these days, of
course: Digital commerce means delivery, content and other factors that can also
give criminals an opening.
That all presents numerous challenges for any retailers interested in avoiding
the bad PR, litigation and loss of revenue that typically follows a
breach or hack. Among them is building better fraud prevention defenses
without alienating honest consumers and existing and potential customers. To put
it another way, the challenge is to stop criminals without introducing too much
friction that can result in customers giving up on creating accounts or
abandoning online shopping carts.

Canoga Park, CA: 2 Arrested, 1 Sought After Video

locked door and later taking off with thousands in jewelry, according to a Los
Angeles Police Department news release. Marvin T. Carter, believed to be one of
those two suspects, was arrested on suspicion of burglary on Thursday while his
alleged co-conspirator Michael L. Bourgois is still at large. A third suspect,

$222K worth of merchandise
Police are working to recover tens of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise
that was stolen from a Cranston-based jeweler, and a former employee is believed
to be the culprit. Yanill C. Taveras, 26, of Providence, was arrested on an
embezzlement charge late last month, according to Cranston police. Police said
they were contacted by Ross-Simons on Jan. 29 after management discovered some
high-value pieces of jewelry were missing from their inventory. In total, 121
pieces of jewelry worth approximately $222,152 were unaccounted for, police
said. Taveras was identified as a possible suspect, according to police, and
detectives soon learned she had pawned large amounts of jewelry at area pawn
shops. Police paid those businesses a visit and said they retrieved

Bethesda, MD: Two Sentenced for Shooting at
Montgomery County Mall
Two men who pleaded guilty to a shooting at a Maryland mall were sentenced
Monday. The shooting in a garage at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda last
March was a result of an ongoing feud between Lucas Graves and David Montalvo
and two other men. Prosecutors said they stalked their targets. In the days and
hours leading up to the shooting, they were seen at Montgomery Mall outside and
inside the Nordstrom where one of the men worked. They enlisted others to help
track down their prey until they confronted them in the garage and opened fire.
Graves was sentenced to 20 years, and Montalvo was sentenced to 15 years.

Ottawa, IL: McDonald's Armed Robbery / Assault
suspect sentenced to 58 years
A parolee who robbed a Peru McDonald's on Easter weekend 2017 was sentenced
Thursday to 58 years in prison - but not before he offered the judge a
last-ditch excuse for what drove him to commit the holdup. Eddie Stiff, 50, of
Chicago said his friends drugged him. Once he was out of his wits, he drove to
the drive-thru on Shooting Park Road, severely injured a worker and left behind
a slew of clues worthy, in his words, of "America's Dumbest Criminals."

When anyone goes for an interview you've got to play to win. You should not
allow: any outside variable, any future promotion thoughts or promises, your
guilt feelings towards your current employer or boss, your preconceived opinions
of the possible future employer, or any miss-step in the process on the part of
the future employer disrupt or impact your performance. All interviews have long
range implications on your career. The executives interviewing you are part of a
community and you'll run into them again at another company. So if you do get
involved and go for an interview, commit yourself all the way and play to win.
It doesn't mean you've got to take the job. It just means you have to perform at
100%.
Just a Thought,
Gus
