Violence & Protests
Federal grand jury indicts 4 former Minneapolis police officers on charges they
violated George Floyd's civil rights
MINNEAPOLIS - Federal grand jury indicts 4 former Minneapolis police officers
on charges they violated George Floyd's civil rights.
The federal charges could add additional time in prison or other penalties for
the four former officers, independent of state-level convictions.
The three others - J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao - are facing
state charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and manslaughter, in a
trial set to begin in late August.

Gun Violence Surging Across the Country
Startling surge in L.A. bloodshed as COVID-19 fades: 'Too many guns in
too many hands'
In the first four months of 2021, gunshot victims have arrived at a much greater
rate than usual.
The Level 1 trauma center in Torrance treats about 3,500 patients a year; an
average of 15% experience "penetrating trauma" such as a shooting or stabbing,
said Putnam, chief of the trauma and acute care surgery division.
So far this year, the figure stands at 19%, he said. From Jan. 1 to April 27,
the hospital treated 142 shooting victims, compared with 76 during the same
period last year - an increase of nearly 87%.
"This
has definitely been one of the most stressful times in my entire career," said
Putnam, a surgeon for 20 years who scrubs in and works 24-hour trauma shifts
once or twice a week.
As COVID-19 began hospitalizing and killing more people in Los Angeles last
year, so did shootings in the street. The increased
bloodshed, much of it linked to gangs, surged as the economy faltered,
leading to the
deadliest year of violence in L.A. in a decade.
Surrounding areas of L.A. County saw similar increases in gun violence. The
gun violence, however, is not receding.
According to Los Angeles Police Department data, the city as of Saturday had
seen 465 shootings since Jan. 1, an almost 67% increase over the same period
last year. Homicides, at 115 as of Sunday, were up more than 26%.
Preliminary data from the L.A. County Sheriff's Department show that homicides
in surrounding areas increased by more than 113% in the first three months of
this year, with 64 killings, compared with 30 during the same period in 2020.
Aggravated assaults with guns, including shootings, jumped 82% during that time,
from 255 to 465.
Police
officials across the country have noted similar forces, as their cities -
big and small, led by Democrats and Republicans - also suffer under surging gun
violence.
Criminologists have pointed to the pandemic, and its multitude of impacts,
as the only common element across the country.

Shootings skyrocketed in April, new NYPD data shows
The Big Apple endured a bloody April with nearly triple the number of
shootings compared to last year, according to NYPD data released Wednesday.
The NYPD recorded 149 incidents of gun violence across the five boroughs
last month - including the
most violent week of the year, when 50 people were shot, the statistics
show.
Gun violence only dipped slightly during April 2020 - 56 incidents compared to
62 in 2019 - despite the city struggling through the first wave of the COVID-19.
The NYPD also continued to tout its number of gun arrests - 223 last month - in
line with Mayor Bill de Blasio, who has
repeatedly claimed that more firearms busts would help curb gun violence.
Meanwhile, hate crimes against Asian Americans in the city exploded 400 percent
this year - 80 incidents versus 16 last year - with new cases of anti-Asian
attacks
reported every day. The NYPD, however, only began tracking the bias category
around the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Overall, major crimes - including murder, rape and robbery - were up 30 percent
compared to last year - but were down 3.2% compared to 2019's tally.
Only murder and car thefts had gone up from pre-pandemic numbers.

After the death of George Floyd, lawmakers in Md., Va. and D.C. set out to hold
police more accountable. Here are some key measures.
In Maryland, the General Assembly enacted sweeping police accountability
measures, then overturned Gov. Larry Hogan's (R) vetoes of key changes.
Provisions in the bills have different effective dates, with some taking effect
in October and others next summer.
In the District, lawmakers passed emergency legislation last year. A vote is
expected in coming weeks to make the laws permanent. A commission tasked with
reshaping policing in the city has recommended a raft of changes that the city
council could take up.
In Virginia, the General Assembly launched a special session last fall focused
on police reforms and then focused on those issues again in the recently
concluded session.

Shocking video shows random stabbing of two Asian women in San Francisco
Video
published on Thursday shows
the random stabbing of two elderly Asian women in San Francisco
- including one who was attacked so brutally that the blade broke off in her
body, according to a local report.
The chilling footage,
obtained by KGO-TV, shows the attacker creeping up behind one of the women
at a bus stop in the California city, around 7 p.m. Tuesday. He stabs her in the
back - before calmly approaching the second victim and knifing her, too.
A bystander rushes over to help and cradles the woman, who had fallen backward
onto the ground, according to the shocking clip.

Coronavirus cases hit a seven-month low
Coronavirus infections in the U.S. are now at their lowest levels in seven
months, thanks to the vaccines.
The big picture: The vaccines are turning the tide in America's battle
with the coronavirus. Deaths and serious illnesses have dropped significantly,
and now cases are falling too - an important piece of protection for the future,
if we can keep it up.
By the numbers: The U.S. averaged about 48,000 new cases per day over the
past week.
That's a 13% improvement over the week before, and it's the first time
since October that average daily cases have dipped below 50,000.
20 states saw fewer new cases over the past week than they did the week
before, while outbreaks got bigger in 10 states.
The bottom line: The vaccines are working. They are saving lives and
beating back the virus right now, and they can minimize the virus' presence in
our lives in the future - if enough people get them.

'Turning the Corner': U.S. Covid Outlook Reaches Most Hopeful Point Yet
Cases and deaths have dipped, and vaccinations make scientists hopeful,
even as variants mean the coronavirus is here to stay.
nytimes.com
Studies of hospital workers suggest COVID-19 vaccines really do prevent
coronavirus infections
Both studies compare coronavirus infection rates among vaccinated and
unvaccinated people who work at a single medical center. And in both cases,
being vaccinated was indeed associated with a significantly lower risk of
testing positive for an infection.
latimes.com
Legally, requiring vaccines is probably (mostly) fine
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued guidance in December stating
that employers are legally permitted to require employees to be vaccinated. But
companies are still worried about litigation, in part because several states
have proposed laws that would limit their ability to require vaccines. Some of
those restrictions pertain only to vaccines that, like those for Covid, have
been granted only emergency authorization by the Food and Drug Administration.
Pfizer and BioNTech became the first companies to
apply for full approval of their Covid-19 vaccine today, and others are
expected to follow suit.
nytimes.com
Companies are resorting to carrots over sticks
Darden offers hourly employees two hours of pay for each dose they receive.
Target offers a $5 coupon to all customers and employees who receive their
vaccination at a CVS at Target location. And many companies are hosting on-site
clinics to make it easier to get vaccinated.
Others are experimenting with return-to-work policies that aren't all or
nothing. Salesforce will allow up to 100 fully vaccinated employees to volunteer
to work together on designated floors of certain U.S. offices. Some companies
are mandating the shots only for new hires.

First COVID Vaccine to Seek Full FDA Approval
Pfizer/BioNTech seek full FDA approval for their Covid-19 vaccine
Pfizer/BioNTech has initiated its application to the US Food and Drug
Administration for full FDA approval of its Covid-19 vaccine for people ages
16 and older, the companies said Friday. This is the first Covid-19 vaccine
in the United States to be assessed for full approval from the FDA.
Pfizer's mRNA two-shot vaccine is currently being used in the US under emergency
use authorization (EUA) from the FDA. The companies say 170 million doses of
the vaccine have been distributed across the US to date.

Retail & Grocery Transformed By the Pandemic
How Covid-19 Is Evolving Retail And Grocery Jobs For The American Workforce
Coming
off the heels of the peak of the pandemic, retail and grocery business
leaders are taking some time to assess the market and properly identify
customer needs. Businesses now face the challenge of working towards financial
stability and sustainability, while keeping up with the unpredictable nature of
the market. Leaders are also taking a look at the steps their businesses need to
take to keep up with shopper demands as businesses continue to re-open around
the country.
Gary Drenik: According to
Prosper Insights &
Analytics data, around 37% of Adults 18+ said they are focusing on just what
they need when making purchases this month, (not what they want), which is
approximately 10% lower than April 2020. With lockdown behind us, people are
ready to spend more money on things they enjoy right now, including clothes,
food and more. How might this affect customer service initiatives, especially
training? And is upselling in the cards right now?
Steven Kramer: Even though customers do
enjoy the experience of shopping in-store, they enjoy the convenience of being
able to shop virtually, from their homes - including curbside pickup. Retail
workers will need to be trained to provide customer service, fulfill online
orders, and take on new responsibilities they normally wouldn't be doing a
year ago. Upselling is not off limits.
Drenik: That said, shoppers are also
shopping online at about the same rate as they were at New Year's. Could this
effectively change retail workers' job descriptions for good? Can we expect them
to be doing fulfillment and face-to-face customer service at every shift - and
how might retailers properly staff each store for floor work versus
fulfillment?
Kramer: Yes, there has been a notable shift
in the type of work frontline workers are doing. For one, online fulfillment
orders have increased greatly - tasking more employees to stock shelves and
fulfill these orders in addition to being on the sales floor. The in-store
experience has also changed. Due to the pandemic, there are new ways to
communicate with customers, protocols for store capacity and safety measures
that must be enforced every day. Because of this, we are seeing a large
demand for better task management solutions to help manage the increased cost of
doing business.

Unruly airline passenger behavior spikes amid zero tolerance policy: FAA
Airlines are seeing a spike in bad behavior among people flying despite a
zero-tolerance policy, with 1,300 reports of unruly passengers made since
February, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said.
The agency has so far identified potential violations in about 260 of the
reported cases, an FAA spokesman told Fox News on Tuesday.
Officials also initiated approximately 20 enforcement cases and sent notices to
the passengers, the spokesman said. The agency is also "preparing a number of
additional enforcement actions."
Fox News has previously reported that thousands of Americans (upward of 2,800)
were listed on the
collective "no-fly" lists of the nation's major airlines as of mid-January,
with the carriers confirming that many had been banned from travel for
defying mask mandates during the course of the pandemic.
However, other bad behavior has included drinking excessively and engaging in
physical or verbal assaults, NBC News reported. The assaults included political
intimidation and harassment of lawmakers, flight crews and other passengers.

Hundreds of COVID victims' bodies still in refrigerated trucks on NYC waterfront
The
bodies of hundreds of New Yorkers are still sitting in a refrigerated morgue
on the Brooklyn waterfront more than a year after the COVID-19 pandemic hit the
Big Apple. The remains of about 750 people are in long-term storage
in the specially designed disaster morgue that opened in April, a medical
official told a City Council committee meeting on Wednesday.
The facility was set up to give families extra time, but the arrangement was
always intended to be temporary, said Dina Maniotis, executive deputy
commissioner of the Chief Medical Examiner's Office.
Families of many of the dead still in storage have requested that the city
bury their remains on Hart Island, the city's potter's field. The families
of others have fallen out of contact with the city, Maniotis said.

held that it was COVID-19 instead of government orders that caused their

What New Technologies And Trends Will Shape Video Analytics?
The topic of video analytics has been talked and written about for decades, and
yet is still one of the cutting-edge themes in the physical security industry.
Some say yesterday's analytics systems tended to overpromise and underdeliver,
and there are still some skeptics.
However, newer technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are
reinvigorating the sector and enabling it to finally live up to its promise.
We asked this week's Expert Panel Roundtable: What new technologies and trends
will shape video analytics in 2021?
Fredrik
Nilsson
Vice President of the Americas,
Axis Communications
Cloud computing is a widely discussed topic in the enterprise security IT space,
but its counterpart - edge computing - is an arguably more useful and impactful
network infrastructure that is transforming the way analytics and data are
handled, processed, and delivered from millions of devices around the world.
Edge computing places computing resources closer to the user or the device, at
the 'edge' of the network, rather than in a hyperscale cloud data center many
miles away from the 'core' of the network.
Processing data at the edge lowers bandwidth consumption and reduces latency,
allowing end users to make faster decisions in critical situations. In video
surveillance, edge computing allows data to be processed in the camera itself.
And thanks to advances in technology, IP cameras increasingly have the
processing power to run AI- or deep learning-based analytics and algorithms in
real-time.

Fabricating Test Results of Products Going to
Market in Stores
Owner CEO of Consumer Products Testing Company Pleads Guilty to $46M Fraud
GABRIEL LETIZIA Jr., the owner and executive director of AMA Laboratories,
Inc. ("AMA"), a consumer products testing company in New City, pled guilty
today to defrauding customers by reporting laboratory test results for panelist
testing that was not fully performed. Former AMA employees David Winne, Mayya
Tatsene, Patrycja Wojtowicz, and Kaitlyn Gold previously pled guilty in
connection with their respective roles in the scheme.
"As he has now admitted, Gabriel Letizia schemed for decades to defraud
customers of his laboratory, and caused sunscreens and other consumer
products to be sold and marketed to consumers on the basis of false laboratory
testing reports."
LETIZIA is the owner and executive director of AMA, a consumer products
testing company in Rockland County, New York. David Winne served as AMA's
technical director, Mayya Tatsene served as AMA's clinical laboratory director,
Patrycja Wojtowicz served as AMA's associate director of clinical studies, and
Kaitlyn Gold served as AMA's supervising laboratory technician. AMA tested
the safety and efficacy of cosmetics, sunscreens and other products on specified
numbers of volunteer panelists for consumer products companies.
From 1987 through April 2017, LETIZIA and his co-conspirators defrauded AMA's
customers of more than $46 million by testing products on materially lower
numbers of panelists than the numbers specified and paid for by AMA's customers.
LETIZIA, and AMA employees acting under his direction, sent the customers
fraudulent reports, which falsely represented that AMA had tested the products
on the number of panelists specified by the customers, causing the
introduction of misbranded products into interstate commerce.

CFO Stole Simply to Enrich Himself
Former CFO of Alden Shoe Co. Pleads Guilty in $30 Million Embezzlement
Richard Hajjar, 64, of Duxbury, pleaded guilty to one count each of wire fraud,
unlawful monetary transactions and filing a false tax return.
From at least 2011 through October 2019, when he was terminated by Alden Shoe
Co., Hajjar embezzled money by writing checks to himself from company bank
accounts and transferring funds from company accounts to his personal accounts
and to another individual. In total, Hajjar embezzled approximately $30
million which he used to enrich himself and to buy gifts and luxury travel
for others close to him, including private flights to the Caribbean and diamond
jewelry.
The charge of wire fraud provides for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison,
three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine or twice the gross
gain/loss, whichever is greater. The charge of unlawful monetary transaction
provides for a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, three years of
supervised release and a fine of $250,000, or twice the value of the criminally
derived property. The charge of filing a false tax return provides for a
sentence of up to three years in prison, one year of supervised release and
a fine of $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge
based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Predictable-Scheduling First Big Victim
New York City Sues Chipotle for $150M in Alleged Work Schedule Violations
Chipotle Mexican Grill is facing a $150 million lawsuit for allegedly violating
New York City's predictable-scheduling law at the fast-casual restaurant
chain's 80 to 90 locations in the city.
Among other mandates, the
Fair Workweek Law requires retail and fast-food employers in the Big Apple
to provide employees with 14 days of notice regarding schedule changes or pay
employees a premium.
New York City officials said Chipotle's violations of the predictable-scheduling
law were "widespread" from 2017 to 2019. The lawsuit claims that Chipotle
changed employee schedules without proper notice, denied employees time off and
failed to provide premium pay, in addition to other violations. The suit covers
about 6,500 Chipotle workers in the city who experienced about three scheduling
infractions on average each week, according to the lawsuit.

VIDEO: The Surprising Anti-Theft Feature
of Prosegur's Edge D-Arm Tag
Do shoplifters bring illegal detachers
to your stores to try to remove your EAS tags? The Edge DeArm Pin
tag has a big surprise for them, as seen
in this video: it will alarm if removed with just a magnetic
detacher.
Instead, the tag needs to be passed over a deactivator pad at the
point of sale, and then removed with a magnetic detacher - something
that's very easy for store associates, but difficult for
shoplifters.
No additional training or equipment is needed for your employees as
the Edge D-Arm tag works with your existing detachers and
deactivators.

data sheet and more information about this new solution is

EU is Clamping Down on Internet Scraping &
Data Flow Out of the EU
Data Scraping in EU Regulators' Sights As Spain Orders Equifax to Delete
Information
Collecting personal data from public sources without individuals' consent
violates privacy law, regulator says
European data protection regulators are investigating companies' use of data
they scrape from public sources. Spain's data protection authority recently
ordered Equifax Inc. to delete data it collected this way and pay a fine of
about $1.1 million for using in credit reports publicly available
information from tax authorities and other government sources about individuals'
outstanding debts.
Companies are under growing scrutiny for how they handle data they gather
manually or with an automated process from public sources because using it
without individuals' permission can violate European privacy rules. Regulators
are looking into recent
incidents affecting
users of Facebook Inc. and Microsoft Corp.'s LinkedIn, and have sanctioned
smaller firms for data scraping.
The Spanish authority's penalty last month against Equifax highlights the risks
companies face when using scraped data from individuals in EU countries.

EU's Watching The Data Flow to U.S.
European Authorities Scrutinize Data Flows to U.S.
Regulators and courts are asking for proof of how companies protect data that
leaves the EU
European
privacy regulators and courts are looking into how companies transfer personal
information to the U.S. and have ordered suspensions of some data flows.
Portugal's data protection authority last week required the country's
statistical institute to stop sending personal information to the U.S. from
Portuguese residents filling out the national census, after determining that
there weren't sufficient privacy safeguards in the institute's contract with
California-based cloud security and infrastructure provider Cloudflare Inc.
The decision is the latest move by European officials to clamp down on how
companies transfer data from the European Union to the U.S. following a ruling
last July from the bloc's top court. The ruling demanded additional privacy
protections if businesses move data outside the 27-country union. Regulators
around Europe are looking into similar data-transfer issues, and privacy
advocates have filed lawsuits to try to force companies to keep personal data
from entering the U.S.

Coveware Q1 2021 Report Shows Huge 43% Spike in Ransomware
Payments
Over Q4 2020
Coveware issued its
Q1 2021 Ransomware Report on April 26, 2021, which concludes that "[D]ata
exfiltration extortion continues to be prevalent and we have reached an
inflection point where the vast majority of ransomware attacks now include the
theft of corporate data."
The Report states that the average ransom payment increased 43 percent from
$154,108 in Q4 2020 to $220,000 in Q1 2021, and the median payment in Q1 2021
increased from $49,450 to $78,398, a 58 percent increase. According to Coveware,
the activity by CloP in Q1 2021 was "extremely active."
Seventy-seven percent of all threats included the threat to leak exfiltrated
data, which was an increase of 10 percent from Q4 2020. Sodinokibi continued to
dominate the market share as a ransom type at 14.2 percent, followed by Conti
V2, Lockbit, CloP, Egregor, Avaddon, Ryuk, Darkside, Suncrypt, Netwalker, and
Phobos. Of these, Egregor has sunset its operations, and Netwalker was
dismantled by law enforcement.
The top vectors for attacks included remote desktop protocol compromise,
"phishing emails that install credential stealing malware," software
vulnerability, and vulnerabilities in VPN appliances.

DHS Secretary: Small Businesses Hard-Hit by Ransomware
Alejandro Mayorkas Says Attacks Increased 300% in Past
Year
About 50% to 70% of all
ransomware
attacks in the U.S. are targeting small and medium-sized businesses, costing the
victims an estimated total of $350 million in the last year, Secretary of
Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said Wednesday in a speech to the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce.
"The losses from ransomware are staggering. And the pace at which those losses
are being realized is equally staggering," Mayorkas said, noting this is why DHS
has made battling ransomware a priority.
In March,
Mayorkas announced that DHS would conduct a 60-day "sprint" exercise focused
on battling ransomware. Then in April, the
Justice Department created the Ransomware and Digital Extortion Task Force,
which will include DOJ officials and representatives from the FBI and the
Executive Office for United States Attorneys.
"We developed a series of sprints in the cybersecurity arena, and ransomware is
the first sprint because of two important criteria: Number one, the gravity of
the threat. And number two, the threat is not tomorrow's threat, but it is upon
us," Mayorkas said in his Wednesday presentation.

An 8 Year View From the Press Box in the Data
Breach Stadium
Troy Hunt: Organizations Make Security Choices Tough for Users
The Have I Been Pwned founder took the virtual stage at Black Hat Asia to
share stories about his work and industrywide challenges.
Data breach notification website Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) has processed more
than 11 billion compromised records from breached websites and publicly
accessible databases since it was launched in 2013, offering a window into
attacks and security issues that put users' data at risk.
Founder and security expert Troy Hunt launched the site as a "fun little
project" meant to index data breaches so people could search them, he said in a
keynote at this week's virtual Black Hat Asia. HIBP started with 155 million
records; years later, an "endless flow of data" from hundreds of breaches has
brought stories and lessons on security incidents' underlying causes.
In many cases, the deluge of breaches fueling HIBP can be linked to
organizations' poor security practices, as Hunt discussed in a series of
examples. Some make it easy for attackers to strike.

Big Brother is Watching
Amazon wants to make sure drivers who don't work for the company are
well-groomed and nice online
Amazon
is infamous for tightly controlling its workers and contractors, but
a report from Bloomberg shows that it also tries to control the employees of
companies that it contracts. The company has explicit policies concerning
personal grooming and social media etiquette that apply to the drivers from
other delivery companies. The rules govern everything from how the delivery
people look (they must have clean fingernails, teeth, ears, and hair) to how
they smell (no bad breath, body odor, or immodest perfume).
The rules also apparently forbid drivers from making social media posts that
could be considered obscene. That by itself wouldn't be remarkable, but it's
worth noting that these policies are applied to drivers that don't work for
Amazon, and so reach much further than the company's official employee base. The
drivers are instead employees of local delivery companies that are contracted by
Amazon through its Delivery Service Partners program.
The workers for these companies are the same ones affected by the company's
AI-powered cameras. Drivers have to consent to always-on cameras monitoring
them for things like distracted driving or traffic violations if they want
to work (or keep working) by delivering packages for the retail giant. Amazon's
plan to install the cameras was discovered through a video where an Amazon
manager explained the partnership between the company and the camera
manufacturer. Vice has since discovered driver consent forms as well.
Amazon is well-known for not giving its employees (or those who work under
its umbrella) much leeway when it comes to handling their personal lives -
many warehouse employees have to micromanage their time away from work to avoid
being fired, and the company allegedly constantly texted employees during the
recent Alabama union drive. Amazon's leadership, including Jeff Bezos, has
claimed that it doesn't treat its employees like robots - but it's hard to look
at rules like this for drivers who aren't even contractors and believe that's
the case.

As Online Shopping Booms, PayPal Surges
PayPal sees record earnings, volume amid sustained e-commerce surge
PayPal Holdings Inc. saw a record amount of volume flow through its platform
in the first quarter as the e-commerce wave continued even amid the gradual
reopening of the in-person economy.

share, up from $84 million, or 7 cents a share, in the year-earlier quarter. The
adjusted-earnings figure is a new quarterly record for PayPal.
PayPal's revenue for the quarter totaled $6.03 billion, up from $4.62 billion a
year earlier. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had been projecting $5.91 billion.
PayPal also upped its full-year forecast. The company now expects $25.75
billion in revenue, an approximately 20% increase from a year earlier,
whereas its prior outlook called for 19% growth.

Newark, NJ: Passaic County Couple Sentenced for Roles in $4.5 Million Food
Stamps Fraud Scheme
A Passaic County, New Jersey, couple were sentenced to prison today for engaging
in a food stamps fraud scheme, Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig announced.
Ibrahim Zughbi, 67, of Wayne, New Jersey, was sentenced to 41 months in prison
and his wife, Miriam Zughbi, 63, also of Wayne, was sentenced to 24 months in
prison. Ibrahim Zughbi previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge
Peter G. Sheridan to an information charging him with Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit fraud and money laundering. Miriam Zughbi
previously pleaded guilty to an information charging her with conspiracy to
defraud the United States through SNAP benefit fraud. U.S. District Judge Anne
E. Thompson imposed the sentences today in Trenton federal court.
According to documents filed in these cases and statements made in court: From
January 2014 to January 2018, the defendants owned and worked at Jamaica Meat
Market, a medium-size grocery store in Paterson, New Jersey, that was authorized
to accept benefits provided by SNAP, formerly known as the Food Stamp Program.
The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Retail food
stores approved for participation in SNAP may sell food in exchange for SNAP
benefits. They may not exchange SNAP benefits for cash. While the Zughbis ran
the store, another individual owned the store and was the person registered with
SNAP. From between 2014 and 2018, through unlawfully exchanging SNAP benefits
for cash, Ibrahim and Miriam Zughbi defrauded SNAP more than $4.5 million.

Eight Indicted in Northeast Ohio $750,000+ Credit Card Fraud Scheme
Charged in a 22-count indictment with conspiracy to commit access device fraud,
access device fraud and aggravated identity theft are Ring Leader - Diontae
WALLACE, 35, of Warrensville Heights, Ohio; Adrienne CAMPBELL, 53, of
Cleveland, Ohio; JOVANNA BROWN, 33, of Warrensville Heights, Ohio; Marcellus
SMITH, 27, of Cleveland, Ohio; James LUKE, 43, of Cleveland, Ohio; Glenn KING,
27, of Cleveland, Ohio; Shirley LADSON, 37, of Shaker Heights, Ohio and JOSEPH
BROWN, 62, of Campbell, Ohio.
According to the allegations, from around December of 2016 and continuing
through approximately April of 2020, WALLACE recruited a number of
co-conspirators, including CAMPBELL, JOVANNA BROWN, SMITH, LUKE, KING, LADSON
and JOSEPH BROWN to participate in the credit card fraud scheme.
It is alleged that WALLACE would purchase personal identifying information from
the dark web and use it to open fraudulent credit card accounts. WALLACE would
then create fictitious identification cards bearing the stolen personal
identifying information and a photograph of a co-conspirator. The indictment
states that WALLACE provided the fraudulent identification cards and credit
cards to his co-conspirators to use at his direction.
According to the indictment, WALLACE, CAMPBELL, JOVANNA BROWN, SMITH, LUKE,
KING, LADSON and JOSEPH BROWN would use the fraudulent credit card accounts and
identification cards to purchase various items, including retail goods,
construction and building materials, appliances and equipment from various
stores and vendors around Northeast Ohio and elsewhere. As part of the alleged
scheme, WALLACE would then sell the purchased items to others and use the
proceeds for his own benefit and to pay his co-conspirators.
In addition, it is alleged that WALLACE, the named co-conspirators and others
known and unknown to the Grand Jury, used the fraudulent credit card accounts to
make purchases of goods such as clothing, household items and craft supplies,
which they kept for their personal benefit.
In total, it is alleged that WALLACE, CAMPBELL, JOVANNA BROWN, SMITH, LUKE,
KING, LADSON and JOSEPH BROWN made at least $750,000 in purchases throughout
the scheme.

Credit Card Fraudster Gets 51 Months Federal Prison for $1M Nationwide Identity
Theft & Fraud Scheme
Sherman, TX., Daniel Brian Rink, 37, pleaded guilty on June 24, 2020, to
conspiracy to commit bank fraud and was sentenced to 51 months in federal prison
today by U.S. District Judge Amos L. Mazzant, III. He was also ordered to pay
$230,783 in victim restitution.
Police also found fraudulent identification cards that contained Rink's
photograph as well as credit cards and Sam's Club membership cards that matched
the names on the identification cards. Further investigation revealed Rink had
applied for credit accounts using the names on the fraudulent identification
cards. He then used those cards to purchase various items, including computers,
iPhones, and prepaid gift cards.
In all, Rink and his associates caused a loss of more than $1 million to
various lenders and individual victims. On Dec. 11, 2019, a federal grand jury
in the Eastern District of Texas, returned a 35-count indictment against Rink
and 17 others.

Shootings & Deaths
New Orleans, LA: Vape shop owner kills man he accused of threatening
his business daily
The
co-owner of a Canal Street tobacco and vape shop fatally shot a man near his
store and later tried to convince investigators that he was defending his
business from daily threats and harassment, according to the New Orleans Police
Department. Khutbi Abdelkader, who co-owns Smoke Sum at 926 Canal St., faces a
count of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Anthony Francois, records
filed by police in Criminal District Court in New Orleans Thursday show.
Following the slaying on Wednesday, Abdelkader told detectives that Francois
"had been harassing and threatening" him and his brother - his business partner
- "almost daily for over a week after they had told (Francois) he was not
welcome in their store anymore," police wrote in the sworn court filings.
Abdelkader, from Harvey, allegedly told investigators he was standing inside his
shop near the front door when Francois walked up and begin banging on the
storefront glass about 4:50 p.m. He claimed he stepped out of his store to
confront Francois, pulled out a gun when he saw Francois "reaching for an
object," and shot him twice. First responders took Francois to the nearby
University Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead. Detectives
said they found evidence that contradicted Abdelkader's version of events.
One witness accompanying Francois allegedly told police that they were simply
walking past Smoke Sum to get food from a neighboring business when Abdelkader
stepped out and confronted them.

Boulder, CO: Officer justified in shooting King Soopers shooting suspect, DA
rules
The
Boulder police officer who shot the suspected shooter at the King Soopers on
Table Mesa Drive was justified in doing so, and his shots were the last ones
fired that day inside the store, the district attorney found in his review of
the shooting. The review of the shooting of the Boulder King Soopers suspect by

Attorney Michael Dougherty and the Boulder County Investigation Team. It found
that Steidell was the only officer to fire their weapon at the suspect, and that
the rounds he fired were the last ones discharged that day. Steidell fired eight
rounds from his 9mm handgun service weapon, the review found, one of which
struck the suspect, Ahmad Alissa, in his right thigh, after which Alissa
surrendered to police. Steidell was part of a second wave of officers that
entered the store not long after the shooting occurred. Officer Eric Talley, who
was killed, was one of three officers in the first wave to respond to the
shooting just after 2:30 p.m. on March 22.

Cobb Police investigating Jewelry Store Armed Robbery, shooting
at Town Center mall
The robbery involved three masked suspects, who fled before officers arrived,
according to Cobb Police. Witnesses said the jewelry store in question was A&M
Custom Jewelry. Sgt. Wayne Delk said Cobb Police initially received a report of
an active shooter, but that was found to be incorrect. "Three armed robbers had
entered the store and robbed the store at gunpoint. We have reports that shots
were fired inside the store," Delk told Fox 5. One employee sustained a non-life
threatening injury, though police had not confirmed as of press time whether the
employee had been shot or injured in some other way, the television station
reported.
Shopper Patrick Rogers told Fox 5 he was at Zumiez when he heard two gunshots.
"It sound kind of from a distance and then I kind of looked back and saw people
running (in) the other direction," he said. "So, we ended up going to the back
of the store, closing the gate, and then, like, barricading the door with
boxes."
Thursday's incident was the latest in a string of metro Atlanta mall shootings
in the past several months.

Loyalty is one of the most precious values there is and a loyal team that's
unified in its goals and objectives, even in defeat, is strong and supportive.
Loyal teams can make the largest tasks seem effortless and they create a sense
of ownership of family that inspires individual performance and comforts
individual failure. Earned slowly and grown daily, loyalty is a commodity no
leader can be without because it fuels success, unifies purpose, and gives birth
to exceptional performance. Without loyalty, teams splinter and lose focus on
the true objectives. It's rare to build a truly loyal team and it's incredibly
difficult to keep them together long term with private agendas always pressuring
the balance. And yes, even loyal teams require balancing because at the end of
the day it's always about personal agendas. Professional sports teams are
constantly looking for that balance and the right players to fit as a team and
the same holds true in business. With the right team, anything is possible and
conversely one team member can destroy the entire balance. So being a team
player is important even when you decide not to be.
Just a Thought, Gus
