The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Could Supreme Court Decision Impact Retail
Criminals?
High court narrows reach of law targeting career criminals
The Supreme Court on Monday narrowed the reach of a federal law that
strengthens penalties for career criminals found to illegally have a gun.
The high court was ruling in the case of a man a lower court classified as a
career criminal after counting the man’s burglary of 10 different public
storage units on a single evening as 10 separate offenses. The high court
said unanimously Monday that was an error.
The man’s 10 burglary convictions should have been treated as one event
rather than separate crimes when considering whether he qualified for a
stiffened sentence under the federal Armed Career Criminal Act, the justices
concluded.
Without the stronger sentence, the man’s recommended sentence would have been
approximately two years, but he was instead sentenced to nearly 16.
“Convictions arising from a single criminal episode ...
can count only once under ACCA,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote.
The decision could result in reduced sentences for other people subject to
stronger sentences under the law. According to a U.S. Sentencing Commission
report, however, people classified as armed career criminals have recently made
up less than one percent of those sentenced every year for federal offenses.
The Armed Career Criminal Act requires a
15-year mandatory minimum sentence for anyone found to have a gun after three or
more previous convictions for violent felonies or serious drug offenses. The
law says that each of the offenses must have been “committed on occasions
different from one another.”
Kagan wrote that a single “occasion” can include distinct activities,
citing the example of multiple events occurring on a couple’s wedding day.

NYC's Theft Surge 'Fueled by Recidivism'
Frustrated small business owner talks rise in shoplifting
Locking doors between customers, hiding expensive merchandise in the back,
and posting photos of thieves hanging on top of the fridge. That’s how Peter
Panayiotou says he has to do business now.
Frustrated by all city leaders, past and present, liquor store owner Panayiotou
says in the last year and half shoplifting has become rampant and the
criminals are more brazen.
According to the NYPD, the city has seen a jump in
retail theft complaints; In 2019, there were 37,918 complaints. That
number dropped to 32,358 in 2020 and in 2021 police received 43,864 complaints.
A 16.5% increase in complaints over 2019 even with all
of the store closures throughout NYC.
Petit larceny is generally taking property worth under $1,000. According to NYPD
crime statistics, Manhattan south has seen the largest increase in petit
larceny so far in 2022 — a 57.8% increase compared with the same time last
year.
NYPD Chief of Crime Control Strategies Michael Lipetri says the increase is
fueled by recidivism.
“When we came out of the COVID lockdowns we really saw a large increase in
shoplifting all across the city. The borough of Manhattan has seen the sharpest
increase,” said Lipetri. “In the borough of Manhattan last year, we identified
over 250 individuals that were arrested three or more times at the same
location. If we expand that to not include the same location, we arrested
over 500 individuals for shoplifting three or more times.”
Panyitou blames state bail reform laws, which in 2019 eliminated cash
bail for most misdemeanor and non-violent felony charges and critics of the
changes say they have created a revolving door for criminals.
“So anybody can just go into any store and steal and just walk away with it and
the police just let them go," said Panayiotou.

'New Yorkers deserve better'
NYC crime jumps 58% – with hate crimes leading the uptick
NYC police expert questions Mayor Eric
Adams' execution more than two months after Adams takes reigns
New
York City Mayor Eric Adams insisted Friday that the Big Apple "would defeat
crime" after recent police statistics showed nearly every type of
criminal offense – including subway and hate crimes – was up in the month of
February.
The New York Police Department released its crime statistics for the month of
February late Thursday, showing a 58.7% increase in
overall crime compared to February 2021. "Every major index crime
category saw an increase for the month of February 2022," the NYPD said.
The NYPD identifies the seven major index crimes as being murder, rape,
robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and grand larceny auto.
"The department has made far too much progress over the decades – and invested
far too much in the communities it serves – to fall back by any measure," NYPD
Commissioner Keechant L. Sewell said in a prepared statement. "New Yorkers
deserve better."
Speaking to reporters at an unrelated press conference on Friday, Adams – who
was sworn in as mayor just over two months ago – said city offices were
"executing our plan, and we’re going to defeat crime."

Allowing Store Owners to Use 'Deadly Force'
Against Criminals
Arizona Bill Proposes Businesses Use Deadly Force Against Property Damage
The Arizona state Senate is set to consider a bill on Monday that would allow
business owners a wider range of justifications for the use of deadly force
against someone with a "deadly weapon" who is damaging their property.
Current state law allows for the use of deadly force when it is used to
prevent crimes like murder, rape, child molestation or arson of a building
with people inside, according to the Arizona Daily Star.
Michelle Ugenti-Rita, the Republican state senator sponsoring the bill, said it
was motivated by the increase of "smash and grab" thefts across the country
that led to property damage for business owners.
Critics of the bill, including Senate Democrats and some community activists,
said in a committee hearing last week that the bill is too broad and could
give business owners the ability to inflict serious violence on someone who
might just be spraying graffiti, according to the Associated Press.
The bill passed through a committee last week and is set for a full state Senate
vote on Monday afternoon. If it passes, it will go to the state House for more
hearings and debate, the Daily Star reported.

Serial Thieves Avoiding Criminal Prosecution
Are clever crooks stealing just enough to avoid felony charges?
Substance abuse is a big driver of property crimes like retail theft, and
many businesses around Chittenden County say it’s becoming an increasing problem
with no easy solution.
These businesses say it’s frustrating to see many people skipping the checkout
line and stealing items. They say it’s not just stolen goods but more about a
lack of enforcement and prosecution.
The issue exists outside of Burlington, as well. According to data from the
Williston Police Department, in 2018 the department received 94 complaints and
that number grew to 149 complaints last year. Lt. Joshua Moore says they’ve
already had 32 complaints so far this year.
Back in the Queen City, the Burlington Business Association says it’s time for
city and state leaders to step up. In Vermont, if the value of the stolen
items is under $900, it’s considered a misdemeanor, which rarely results in
serious criminal prosecution.
But,
S.180, a bill sponsored by Sen. Phil Baruth, aims to add up the amount
that was stolen on each occasion so that multiple thefts might result in felony
charges. But the bill hasn’t gained much traction.

The Other Side of the Bail Reform Debate
(Op-Ed) We must follow facts, not fear: Bail reform not the reason for rise in
some crimes in NYC
I want to make clear that bail reform is unequivocally not to blame.
Attacking this modest, and so-far successful, policy is not only a distraction,
but does a disservice to our commitment to true public safety.
Here is the reality: Because of bail reform,
nearly 200,000 more innocent-until-proven-guilty people have been free to be
with their families, jobs, housing, education and communities without the
threat of being detained on Rikers Island and other violent jails across the
state. And just as before bail reform, of
those
who are released pretrial — including people charged with violent felonies,
who judges still have power to detain under the law — nearly 95% have not
been rearrested for anything, and 99%
have
not been rearrested for violent felonies.
Let’s go through the numbers:
Grand larcenies decreased after bail reform.
There were 7,745 fewer grand larcenies in 2020 than 2019, the year before
bail reform — an 18% decrease — and 2,380 fewer in 2021 than in 2019 — a 5%
decrease.
Burglaries were overall consistent after bail reform.
The numbers in 2020 and 2021, while higher than the year before bail reform,
were relatively consistent with the years 2015-2017. These are normal
fluctuations.
Robberies decreased after bail reform. There
were 265 fewer robberies in 2020 than in 2019, the year before bail
reform – a 2% decrease.
If we blame bail reform for increases in murders after its implementation, it
would only be consistent to credit bail reform with the corresponding decreases
in these other major categories of crime. But that, too, would be misguided, as
we
cannot
determine causation based on short-run statistics.

U.S. Inches Toward 1 Million COVID Deaths
Global death toll surpasses 6 million for the pandemic now in its 3rd year
The official global death toll from COVID-19 eclipsed 6 million on Monday
— underscoring that the pandemic, now entering its third year, is far from
over.
The milestone, recorded by Johns Hopkins University, is the latest tragic
reminder of the
unrelenting nature of the pandemic even as people are shedding masks,
travel is resuming and businesses are reopening around the globe.
As death rates remain high in Poland, Hungary, Romania and other Eastern
European countries, the region has seen more than 1 million refugees arrive from
war-torn Ukraine, a country with poor vaccination coverage and high rates
of cases and deaths.
And despite its wealth and vaccine availability, the
United States is nearing 1 million reported deaths on its own.

The Mask Debate Continues To Rage
Restaurants Debate Masks as Covid-19 Rules Rapidly Disappear
Shake Shack keeps facial coverings, Texas
Roadhouse drops them as Americans are divided on the issue
Covid-19
restrictions are easing. Restaurants are deciding whether to keep masks on the
menu. California, New York, Connecticut, Illinois and other local
governments in recent weeks have
ended mask requirements for dining inside and working at restaurants.
Some businesses, including Texas Roadhouse Inc., the Cheesecake Factory Inc.
and Applebee’s, believe that there is a benefit for business and their
workers when mask mandates are removed. The facial coverings are hot and
uncomfortable to work in, and not having to put them on between bites and sips
makes customers more motivated to dine out, Applebee’s President John
Cywinski said Wednesday.
Other restaurant operators said they feared alienating workers and diners by
eliminating mask and vaccination requirement rules when allowed to do so.
Some restaurant owners are still struggling to recruit enough staff to fully run
their operations and worry that relaxing rules could scare off employees fearful
about their health.

Retail Trade Shows Pick Up Steam - Again
How To Attend Grocery Trade Shows In The Covid-19 Era
Grocery
industry trade shows are picking up steam again as Covid-19 restrictions ease.
These huge events, such as the upcoming Natural Products Expo West, are
opportunities for brands, investors and retailers to network, negotiate, and
check out the latest trends.
There are over 280,000 food retail doors in the U.S. But around half of
that sales volume is monopolized by the top four grocery chains. Walmart alone
captures more than 50 percent of grocery share in over 200 markets. And despite
the business models and formats that distinguish these channels, there is now
less difference in their product assortment than ever due to the increased
consolidation in wholesale, CPG, co-manufacturing and processing. For a brand
that is exhibiting at a trade show, it is important to distinguish themselves
and know which channels matter most to their business.
While attending trade shows can feel like being at the center of the universe,
it’s really just the tip of the iceberg. The real work of the food industry
happens in stores, at wholesalers and manufacturers, at co-packers, over the
road with truckers and behind the farmgate.
And despite the return of trade shows, the pandemic is still raging. While we
are told that 1500 deaths a day is an acceptable level of carnage for a return
to normalcy, many food industry workers lost colleagues and loved ones to
Covid-19. And many are immune-suppressed or have high risk factors. Trade
show attendees can prevent turning these shows into super-spreader events by
exercising some caution and consideration for their colleagues, including
masking up indoors. Be safe out there.

With COVID Fading, Demand for Retail Space
Could Surge
How Office, Retail and Hospitality Can Reposition As COVID Wanes
If COVID is less deadly and less restrictions need to be in place, that is
an important shift in thinking.
As COVID cases ramp down, the outlooks for office, hotel, and retail are on the
rise. And if COVID is in fact less deadly and less restrictions need to be in
place, “that is an important shift in thinking, a trigger point,” Chang
says. “If COVID is considered endemic, that implies government restrictions
will be reduced and people will finally begin to get back to normal.”
Chang also predicts the demand for retail space could accelerate,
especially for experiential concepts and gyms, restaurants, and movie theaters.
“Hope springs eternal,” Chang says. “And I’m pretty optimistic about the
possibility of getting through this pandemic and getting back to business. That
will bring a lot of properties that investors have been cautious about, like
offices and retail centers, back into the mainstream. It’s simply a matter of
time.”

Russia's Invasion of Ukraine: The Ongoing
Retail Impact
Store Closures - Boycotts - Product Recalls
War in Ukraine Brings Challenges for C-Store Retailers
Couche-Tard suspends operations in Russia
stores, Lukoil in the crosshairs, and more
As the war in Ukraine nears its third week, U.S. convenience-store chains,
including Circle K parent Alimentation Couche-Tard, Lukoil North America and
Yesway, are reacting by distancing themselves from any Russian ties or
links.
Couche-Tard
Suspends Operations
On March 7, Laval, Quebec-based Couche-Tard announced it is suspending
operations in its 38 c-stores in Russia and implementing plans to take
care of its employees in a responsible and safe manner. “We condemn Russia’s
aggression against Ukraine and the huge human impact it is having for both
Ukrainians and Russians,” said Brian Hannasch, president and CEO of Couche-Tard.
In Russia, Couche-Tard has operated under its primary brand Circle K, including
more than 320 employees and 38 stores located in St. Petersburg, Murmansk and
Pskov.
Lukoil in Crosshairs
Elsewhere, lawmakers in New Jersey’s largest city have voted to suspend the
licenses of gas stations branded with the Lukoil name, a major oil company based
in Moscow. The Newark City Council passed a resolution 8-0 on March 2 urging
the city to suspend all licenses of two local Lukoil
gasoline stations to show support for Ukraine, according to a
Reuters report. According to other new reports, Lukoil franchisees across
the East Coast have been subject to ridicule and boycotts, seeing sales
decline since Russian forces first attacked Ukraine on Feb. 24.
Removing Russian Spirits
Meanwhile, the governors of a several U.S. states, including New Hampshire,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah, have ordered government-run liquor stores to stop
selling Russian-made vodka and distilled spirits in solidarity with the
Ukrainian people.

Just What Retailers Need: More Uncertainty
Retailers start to warn of business impact from Russia's invasion of Ukraine
Analysts say the biggest concern for
retailers is how long the conflict and the surrounding uncertainty drag on.
Rising
inflation and global supply chain strains remain top of mind for retailers as
they navigate the post-holiday earnings season. But also making its way into
conversations with analysts and investors is Russia's invasion of Ukraine,
which entered its second week on Thursday.
A number of retailers have temporarily halted operations in Russia, either as a
signal of corporate condemnation of the war or because these companies are
unable to carry on business in the country due to imposed sanctions impacting
logistics.
Some, such as Victoria's Secret, are warning that uncertainty created by the
war
could weigh on business in the first quarter and potentially beyond. The
biggest concern for many retailers will likely be the duration of the crisis,
said Chuck Grom, an analyst with Gordon Haskett.
Retailers are already trying to gauge future demand in still unpredictable times
and keep shelves stocked without ordering too much merchandise. Businesses
are trying to lure consumers back into their stores as Covid cases wane and
immunity increases. Yet it could prove to be trickier than this time a year
ago, when President Joe Biden and Congress signed off on stimulus payments to
families.
All of this could weigh heavily on the American consumer. Companies, from food
producers to auto makers, will likely bear greater burdens from
skyrocketing oil prices and ongoing supply chain headaches. Price
increases are often passed on to the customer.

Seeking a Proactive Approach to Security
New technology, advanced training efforts and community engagement can
assist in security measures.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought an increase in crime alongside economic
uncertainty, and retailers are still grappling with the effects today.
These days more than ever, establishing proactive measures is key, from new
technology to advanced training efforts and community engagement.
Training Is Key
Larry Carroll, vice president of asset protection for Ankeny, Iowa-based
Casey’s, which operates
2,400-plus stores in 17 states, has been working in loss prevention for more
than 30 years. When he joined Casey’s a year and a half ago, he was tasked with
implementing the retailer’s first formalized asset protection program.
It all starts with employee training, he said. And it leads to the guest
experience.
“You not only have to have a good training program,” Carroll explained, “but it
has to be one that’s engaging. … We’re doing on-site training with team members,
and that’s happening every day in our organization. It has quite a good effect
upon team members when they can see something in action.”
Casey’s is also making sure that team members understand the ‘why’ behind the
chain’s actions.

March 8: International Women's Day
Recognizing Women in the Workplace
Women in Safety Leadership
The Power of Opportunity in a More Diverse Workplace
Women should be recognized for their safety accomplishments, and not for
their gender.
Today
is International Women's Day, a global day to celebrate the social, economic,
cultural and political achievements of women. As such, EHS Today is shining a
spotlight on women's unique contributions to workplace safety and taking a
closer look at the challenges that may hamper them from reaching their full
potential. Great progress has been made over the decades, but gaps
persist—and there is always room for improvement. Because, at the end of the
day, the goal is for every person—regardless of gender—to have equal access to a
safe workplace.
The natural order is for things to change. What was once novel should become
commonplace. In that vein, it’s time that women in EHS professions need no
longer be differentiated for their gender. They should be recognized for their
accomplishments in the field. The fact that they are women ought to be a
side note, if that.
To move more quickly Gutierrez feels the profession needs to concentrate on
building awareness that safety is a good career for women. “The expression
that ‘you can’t be what you can’t see’ applies here. We need to show more women
in these jobs and explain that women don’t need to give up their own
personalities in order to be successful in this field. They just need to have a
passion for the job.”

6% Increase in Overall Workforce
Dollar General plans to add 10K jobs in 2022
Dollar
General intends to add about 10,000 net new positions to its payroll during
fiscal year 2022, the fast-growing discount retailer announced Friday. The
new jobs represent an estimated 6% overall increase in the size of Dollar
General's workforce, according to the company.
Dollar General is looking to expand the number of people it employs at a time
when businesses across the board are jostling for prospective workers
against a backdrop of low unemployment.
The new jobs Dollar General is creating reflect hiring needs generated by its
planned addition of new stores and distribution centers over the coming
months, along with anticipated growth in its trucking division, the retailer
said.
Dollar General, which opened its 18,000th store in November and
debuted its first location in Idaho on Saturday, has about 1,100 new stores
in the pipeline. But the company faces strong competition from other employers
as it looks to bring on the staff it needs to support that growth.

Be Aware of Potential Hot Spots
Are banned books a sales opportunity or political risk for Barnes & Noble?
Barnes & Noble has added a
page on its website and small sections to some stores featuring “Banned
And Challenged Books,” or books that have faced censorship.
On its banned books page, Barnes & Noble noted that “Maus,” a Pulitzer
Prize-winning graphic novel about the Holocaust, as well as world-wide
bestsellers like Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” and the “Harry Potter”
series, have recently been challenged and restricted.
The retailer explains that literary works are usually banned on “moral,
religious or political grounds.”
The nearly 200 books featured also include classics, such as “1984” by George
Orwell, “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee and “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray
Bradbury.
Holly Noble, a manager at the Barnes & Noble in Erie, PA, said her store’s
banned books tables have been well received.
“We have all walks of life in our country, and we have all walks of life in our
store,” she told
YourErie.com. “This starts
conversations as to why things have been banned in the past, and it gets people
thinking about why these books are being banned now.”

Surging Gas Prices Hit Retailers
Retailers Face Brand New Competitor: Gas Prices
Having endured two years of COVID, waves of lockdowns, a mash-up of mask
mandates, sporadic business restrictions, extensive wage and labor challenges
and more, the nation’s beleaguered retail industry is now facing a brand new
competitor that could prove to be its most challenging headwind yet:
gasoline prices.
With average pump prices now above $4 per gallon nationally — and
substantially higher in many places — the sudden surge in the cost of gasoline
is not only regressive in its disproportionate impact on lower-income
individuals, but is also largely non-transferable, meaning the normal short-term
responses to price increases are not available.
To paraphrase Costco CFO Richard Galanti’s thoughts about dealing with
inflation, “suppliers eat a little of it, retailers eat a little of it,”
and consumers will eat the rest of it.

Auror and partners celebrated at
Australian Retail Risk Fraud Awards
Retail crime intelligence provider
Auror, and its retail
partners, have swept the board at the Australian Retail Risk Fraud Awards, held
in Sydney on February 24.
The highly anticipated awards saw Australian hardware chain Bunnings win the
Retail Risk Management Team of the Year category and the brand’s Head Of Loss
Debbie Perano win Group Risk Manager of the Year. The Rising Star of the Year
Runner Up went to Danny El Helou from supermarket brand Woolworths, while the
Group Risk Manager of the Year Runner Up Award went to another major Australian
supermarket retailer Coles and its National Security Manager Austin Craddock.
Auror’s VP of Partnerships and Innovation Andrew Kouimanis was inducted into the
Hall of Fame, while Auror itself won the Vendor of the Year Award.
Kouimanis says he is humbled by the Hall of Fame Award, but the most rewarding
part of the event was seeing so many retail partners receive well-deserved
recognition.
“It was inspiring to see the collaboration and dedication of our partners
recognized, and we certainly couldn’t have achieved everything we have so far
without our community of retail and law enforcement partners putting in the hard
work to protect their stores and communities.”

Ransomware: Top Business Threat in 2022
Accelerated Ransomware Attacks Pressure Targeted Companies to Speed Response
Threat actors have focused on two ends of
the spectrum making strong prevention and faster response more important for
enterprises.
The
threat landscape is going to be extremely treacherous in coming months,
especially as cyber operations escalate because of Russia's war on Ukraine,
making defensive agility very important, says Shimon Oren, vice president of
threat research and AI intelligence for Deep Instinct.
"This means that prevention is more important than ever before," he says.
"For certain types of attacks, if you do not have the right posture in place,
and be able to detect and remediate very quickly, you will be vulnerable and the
damage will already have been done."
Ransomware Rules
Cyberattacks and incidents are now the top concern for businesses in 2022, and
ransomware is the top threat, with 57% of business professionals rating the
surge in ransomware as their top concern, according to
the recently released Allianz Risk Barometer 2022. Seven out of 10 financial
firms had suffered a ransomware attack, with the average ransom topping $91,000,
although 70% of firms would or have refused to pay the ransom, according to
Egress, a cybersecurity firm focused on insider threats.
Ransomware has become an endemic threat for most companies. To mitigate
the risk, companies need to harden their network, processes, and people, says
Tony Pepper, the firm's CEO and co-founder.
Return on Investment
For attackers, it's all about return on investment, hitting organizations that
can afford to pay with multiple attacks. The defensive focus should be on
hardening the information-technology environment, preventing the attack, and
automating the initial response, because otherwise the attacker will either
quickly infect other systems or execute the payload, says Deep Instinct's Oren.
The more companies can slow down the attacker, the better, he says.

Change in the industry is happening; research from Frost and Sullivan in 2013
observed that
women made up 11 percent of the global cybersecurity workforce, and then
just eight years later, that number
more than doubled to 24 percent, according to 2021 Research from the Aspen
Institute. By working hard to increase the number of women in the field, the
industry is evolving and making major progress. SANS is gratified to be a driver
of that change with the SANS Women's Immersion Academy.

The
SANS Institute was established in 1989 as a cooperative research and
education organization. Today, SANS is the most trusted and, by far, the largest
provider of cybersecurity training and certification to professionals in
government and commercial institutions world-wide. Renowned SANS instructors
teach more than 60 courses at in-person and virtual cybersecurity events and on
demand. GIAC, an affiliate of the SANS Institute, validates practitioner skills
through more than 35 hands-on, technical
certifications in cybersecurity. The
SANS Technology Institute, a regionally accredited independent subsidiary,
offers master's and bachelor's degrees, graduate certificates, and an
undergraduate certificate in cybersecurity.

COVID Created More Cyber Attack 'Doors'
Digital Danger And Cybersecurity Safeguards
The growing prevalence of digital tools and technologies has introduced new and
expanded capabilities, efficiencies and insights into a diverse range of
industries. It isn't just "tech companies" that rely on digital infrastructure
and AI-powered solutions. Brands and businesses in everything from
manufacturing and medicine to retail, banking and
education have embraced the power and possibility of an increasingly digital
future.
However, that power comes at a cost: increased vulnerability to a rapidly
evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats. As digital assets become more
valuable, the motivation for bad actors to find new ways to exploit those assets
grows accordingly. From data breaches and sophisticated phishing efforts to
crippling ransomware attacks, cyber crimes are on the rise.
More Doors
Every connection is a vulnerability. The Covid-19 pandemic and the spike in
remote work and work-from-home models has accelerated that process. The
health care industry and an increasingly vulnerable supply chain are also
particularly ripe targets for hackers. In 2016, one of my colleagues told NBC
News that the biggest cyber threat to watch for over the next few years would be
ransomware. Unfortunately, that has turned out to be exactly right.
Cost-Benefit Equation
As hackers become more adept at exploiting vulnerabilities to hack into IT
systems and execute ransomware attacks, the stakes are rising. The damage
caused by cyberattacks could cost companies hundreds of thousands of dollars on
average per year. The potential losses from a cyber breach are so significant —
and the level of risk in the current environment so notably increased — that a
strong cybersecurity posture should now be considered a foundational cornerstone
of business success.

White House to Order Broad Review of Cryptocurrencies
Federal agencies to study the creation of U.S. digital currency and the
risks of digital assets
The executive order, which the White House is expected to reveal in the coming
days, will task the Treasury, Commerce, State and Justice departments, among
other agencies, with studying elements of the fast-growing cryptocurrency
market, the person said. The agencies will have roughly three or six months to
conduct a review and prepare a public report with recommendations for the
federal government’s approach to digital tokens.

Amazon vs. Union Organizers
Amazon's Brutal Crackdown at Staten Island Warehouse Ahead of Union Vote
Workers at Amazon’s Staten Island warehouse could become the first in the
country to vote yes to a union this month—and employees say the company’s now
putting the screws on.
The
battle between labor organizers and an
Amazon warehouse on Staten Island is turning ugly ahead of a
union vote this month—one that could make the New York package hub the
company’s first facility with a unionized workforce.
Last week, the NYPD arrested three union activists at the warehouse after
a manager complained that one of them was trespassing. Chris Smalls, a former
employee and
thorn in the side of billionaire founder
Jeff Bezos, was delivering catered chicken and pasta for a union luncheon
when at least five cops confronted him in the facility’s visitor parking lot and
demanded he leave.
The episode marked another clash between the ALU—a
crowdfunded and worker-led effort—and the $1.6-trillion multinational
corporation that is America’s second-largest private employer behind Walmart.
The e-commerce behemoth is simultaneously battling two historic union votes: at
JFK8 and at a Bessemer, Alabama, warehouse known as BHM1. (Bessemer
voted against unionization last spring, but federal labor officials ordered
a
do-over after finding Amazon had illegally pressured employees to
reject it.)
Now Amazon will likely contend with a third election. On Wednesday, the ALU
announced the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) approved a second
Staten Island warehouse for a union vote, though a date hasn't yet been
scheduled.
The
Bessemer employees in Alabama, who will decide on joining the Retail,
Wholesale and Department Store Union, received their ballots in the mail in
early February and have until March 25 to return them. Votes will be counted
on March 28. On Staten Island, workers will vote in person at the warehouse
from March 25 to March 30.
“They know the momentum is building by these luncheons we’re doing,”
Smalls told The Daily Beast of his former employer. “They try to intimidate us,
intimidate organizers. They’re fearful of the possibility that this would be
the first building to ever be unionized.”

Kroger's E-Commerce
Expansion
Kroger plans another three Ocado e-commerce ‘spokes’
Austin, San Antonio and Birmingham facilities extend grocer’s reach into
new markets
The Kroger Co. again is leveraging e-commerce to delve into new geographies
without adding stores.
At its 2022 Business Update investor event on Friday in Orlando, Fla., Kroger
unveiled plans to build three more Ocado-automated “spoke” e-commerce
fulfillment facilities to help process online orders. The new spoke sites —
in Austin and San Antonio, Texas, and Birmingham, Ala. — are expected to
go into operation later this year and support much bigger Ocado customer
fulfillment centers (CFCs), including one that’s live in the Atlanta area and
another planned for Dallas.

California Woman Admits Selling over 100,000 Counterfeit Retail Store Coupons
Worth over $9.9 Million
NEWARK,
N.J. – A Modesto, California, woman admitted today that she fraudulently created
and sold over $9.9 million worth of counterfeit Catalina coupons used at
various retail stores across the United States for the purchase of household
items. Tong Lor, aka “Mandy Carr,” 34, pleaded to one count of conspiracy to
commit mail fraud.
From 2017 through May 2021, Lor was involved in a large-scale operation to
produce and sell fraudulent Catalina Coupons using the U.S. Postal Service (USPS)
mail system. A Catalina Coupon was a full-color, rectangular paper coupon that
was part of a program created by numerous manufacturers of household products
and honored by hundreds of participating retail stores located throughout the
United States. Lor sold the counterfeit coupons via invitation-only internet
groups associated with her businesses, which were accessible via the Internet
site, Telegram Messenger Inc. (Telegram), a cloud-based, mobile instant
communications service.
Lor printed coupons using fake bar codes and then mailed these counterfeit
coupons in over 13,000 USPS parcels to purchasers in New Jersey and
throughout the United States. Over 100,000 counterfeit coupons – with a value of
over $9.9 million – were sold by Lor for use at retail stores across the
country for discounts on household items such as diapers, laundry detergent, and
toiletries.
The charge of conspiracy to commit mail fraud carries a maximum potential
penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gain or loss
from the offense. Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 16, 2022.

San Francisco, CA: Bizarre theft turned food fight at California Walgreens
captured on video
In
the cell phone video recorded by professional photographer Nicholas Stennet, you
can see two Walgreens employees behind the counter, trying to signal for help as
a man dressed in black fills up a large bag with items. "We have this person
that is... taking everything from the counter," said one employee into the
phone. Stennet has witnessed these crimes before, but never anticipated jumping
in to record, especially after he says the suspect knocked a man's phone out of
his hand who was trying to record moments earlier. "He goes behind the counter
taking stuff, maybe some COVID tests, a tray of batteries, some electronics."
Several employees at the store looked on, waiting for help to arrive. Meanwhile,
the suspect, with stunning calmness, cherry-picks items to place into his bag.
"I feel bad for the workers," said Stennet. At one point another customer tried
to intervene, challenging the suspect with, "What, you want to go?" The suspect
then grabbed bunches of bananas and hurled them at the customer. "There's
bananas blazing everywhere!" exclaims Stennet. When the customer tried to fight
back, reaching for more bananas, you can hear a store employee say "no, no, no,
no!" in an effort to try to deescalate the situation. The customer ignored the
request and threw bananas back. "[The suspect] then comes back with some Chips
Ahoy to throw back at him!" exclaimed Stennet.

Rehoboth Beach, DE: Four arrested in nearly $12,000 felony shoplifting charges
at Tanger Outlets
Four Maryland women have been arrested in connection to multiple shoplifting
incidents at the Tanger Outlets in Rehoboth Beach. On Saturday, troopers were
conducting proactive patrols in the Tanger Outlets Midway, Seaside, and Bayside
locations during the afternoon hours. Over the past three months, police say
numerous outlet stores have experienced shoplifting where three or four female
suspects have stolen thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. At approximately
2:40 p.m., a trooper in the eastside parking lot of the Bayside Outlets saw a
black Infinity sedan traveling in the parking lot with the rear license plate
covered with paper. Troopers stopped the vehicle as it backed into a parking
spot, and as troopers were approaching, one of the backseat passengers got out
of the car quickly and removed the paper from the license plate. A criminal
investigation was launched as a result. Through the investigation, troopers
determined that the four occupants went to the Tanger Outlets with the intent to
shoplift. A search revealed that the four women were in possession of
shoplifting tools, and numerous empty shopping bags from various stores were
found inside the car. Further investigation linked 26-year-old Antonia Risby to
three other shoplifting at the Gap Outlet Store, Victoria’s Secret Outlet Store,
and Under Armour Factory Store in the Tanger Outlets. $11,357.01 was the total
amount of merchandise stolen during these three incidents.

Bellevue, NE: Man pleads guilty to killing 2 at Sonic restaurant
A
man pleaded guilty Monday to killing two workers and injuring two others at a
Nebraska fast-food restaurant last fall. Roberto Silva Jr. pleaded guilty to all
charges related to the Nov. 21, 2021, shooting at a Sonic Drive-in restaurant in
the Omaha suburb of Bellevue, the Sarpy County attorney said in a news release.
The plea means Silva's case won't go to trial but Sarpy County Attorney Lee
Polikov said he still plans to seek the death penalty. Silva faced numerous
charges, including two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted
murder and arson. He was accused of setting fire to a U-Haul truck that he had
driven to the Sonic Drive-in and then shooting into the restaurant. When
officers arrived at the restaurant, they found the U-Haul ablaze and four
victims in the business. Silva was unarmed when he was arrested nearby a short
time later and cooperated with officers. The shooting came days after police
arrested Silva outside the restaurant on charges he had used another person's
Sonic app account to buy $57 worth of hamburgers and corn dogs in four separate
purchases at the location. Silva paid 10% of his $1,500 bail and was released
from jail.

the middle and stinging the catcher's hand when they least expect it, and
oftentimes first thing in the morning before you've even had time to drink your
first cup of coffee. It has almost become an accepted practice for many to
compose their negative or conflicting thoughts about the day's events or
conversations and push that send button after everyone has left so they don't
have to face the receiver and so that they can almost act innocent the next day
as if some imposter sent it the night before. It's almost as if the email world
has offered some sort of anonymity to senders, even when it comes from their own
address.
