Subject to shareholder approval, Energy East expects to complete its merger with Iberdrola in the first half of 2008.
Energy East Corporation announced its second quarter 2008 financial results, reporting earnings per share of $0.10, down from $0.12 in the second quarter of 2007.

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2008, earnings per share were $1.59, lower than $1.77 for the same period in 2007.

However, electric margins were reduced by $0.15 per share due to a 2006 rate order. Interest costs also declined by $0.04 per share due to debt refinancing. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2007, earnings increased to $1.77 per share from $1.60 per share in the same period of 2006, driven by higher sales margins from favorable weather and lower expenses.

How to Invest in Cryptocurrency for Beginners: A Complete GuideDaniel
Cryptocurrency is digital money that operates independently of a central authority, utilizing cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments (fiat currencies), cryptocurrencies are decentralized and typically operate on a technology called blockchain. Each cryptocurrency transaction is recorded on a public ledger, ensuring transparency and security.
Cryptocurrencies can be used for various purposes, including online purchases, investment opportunities, and as a means of transferring value globally without the need for intermediaries like banks.

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptxDiana Rose
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l
Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

energy east Q32007ER
1. ENERGY EAST CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS
PORTLAND, Maine, November 1, 2007 – Energy East Corporation (NYSE: EAS) today announced
its third quarter 2007 financial results. Earnings per basic share for the third quarter 2007 were 16
cents compared to 14 cents per share earned in the third quarter 2006.
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2007, earnings per basic share were $1.68 per share
compared with $1.68 per share for the 12 months ended September 30, 2006.
The primary factors driving year-over-year results in the third quarter were:
• Electric margins declined 10 cents per share primarily driven by the impacts of the August
2006 NYSEG electric rate order which became effective January 1, 2007.
• Lower income taxes helped third quarter earnings 8 cents per share compared to 2006.
The benefit resulted from actual 2006 tax expense as filed, and revisions to estimated
effective tax rates for 2007.
• Interest costs declined by 3 cents per share driven by lower carrying costs on regulatory
liabilities, savings from debt refinancings completed in 2006, and the issuance of common
stock in March 2007.
• Third quarter 2006 results were reduced 4 cents per share due to the recognition of
unamortized debt expense related to the redemption of junior subordinated debt securities
in July 2006.
• Operating and maintenance expenses rose 2 cents per share.
Recent Developments
Iberdrola Merger
• The shareholder vote to consider the merger between the Company and Iberdrola has been
scheduled for November 20, 2007. Subject to shareholder approval, the Company expects
all regulatory approvals to be received and the merger to close in the first half of 2008. To
date approvals/clearances have been received with regards to Hart Scott Rodino, the FCC
and Exon-Florio.
