Primary global, full tilt poker, bp, bof a in court newsvincentjohn174
A former executive at expert- networking firm Primary Global Research LLC, James Fleishman, was found guilty of helping pass confidential information to fund managers as part of an insider-trading scheme. Fleishman, of Santa Clara, California, was found guilty yesterday by a Manhattan federal jury of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The jury deliberated for about six hours before reaching a verdict. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff set sentencing for Dec. 21. Until then, Fleishman, who faces as long as 25 years in prison, remains free on bond. He and his lawyer, Ethan Balogh, declined to comment as they left the courthouse. “We had enough evidence to find the defendant guilty of both counts,” said jury foreman Ben Stein, who works in the information-technology sector of a financial-services business. “It was not easy, but we had lots of evidence.” Since November, 15 people have been charged by federal prosecutors in the office of Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in a probe of expert networkers and hedge fund managers. Twelve have pleaded guilty, including Noah Freeman, a former portfolio manager with SAC Capital Advisors LP, and Samir Barai, the founder of Barai Capital Management LP. Fleishman, 42, was the second to go to trial. Winifred Jiau, a former Primary Global consultant who was convicted at trial in June of securities fraud and conspiracy, is scheduled to be sentenced today in Manhattan federal court. Prosecutors said Fleishman obtained and passed confidential data from technology company employees who were moonlighting as consultants for Mountain View, California-based Primary Global. The secret tips were given to fund managers who paid Primary Global for consultation calls, prosecutors said.

Full Tilt Paid Board With Players’ $440 Million, U.S. Says Full Tilt Poker paid board members more than $440 million using funds it had told its online poker players would be available to them for withdrawal at any time, U.S. prosecutors said. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara’s office yesterday asked U.S. District Judge Leonard B. Sand for permission to add the new allegations to a civil forfeiture case first filed against Full Tilt, PokerStars, Absolute Poker and other businesses in April. “Full Tilt insiders lined their own pockets with funds picked from the pockets of their most loyal customers while blithely lying to both players and public alike about the safety and security of the money deposited with the company,” Bharara said in statement. The forfeiture action parallels criminal charges also brought by Bharara against the poker companies and 11 people, alleging bank fraud, money laundering and illegal gambling. Prosecutors said that after the U.S. enacted a law in 2006 barring banks from processing payments to offshore gambling websites, Full Tilt, PokerStars

The insurer settled for $945,000, including purchasing the family's home for $525,000 and an additional $420,000 payment. The settlement also allows the family to sue in the future if any family members develop illnesses from benzene exposure. Testing after remediation efforts still found benzene levels exceeding safety limits. The family alleged the insurer breached its contract and was negligent in its handling of the claim.

Press release: Justice Dept. files complaint against MayoPost-Bulletin Co.
The United States Department of Justice filed a civil complaint against Mayo Clinic alleging that Mayo billed Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health programs for surgical pathology services that were not actually rendered, specifically for the preparation and examination of human tissue slides. The complaint claims that Mayo submitted claims to government payers for non-existent services over many years. While Mayo refunded some money, the refunds were inadequate and not provided until after the government issued a subpoena. The complaint was originally filed by a whistleblower and the government is now intervening and representing the United States in the case.

It provides background on the case, including that the defendant contacted various law enforcement agencies to report improper access of his credit report during a criminal investigation against him in another state.
CASE BRIEF 12.1 Yale Diagnostic Radiology v. Estate of .docxjasoninnes20
CASE BRIEF 12.1
Yale Diagnostic Radiology v. Estate of Fountain
838 A.2d 179 (Conn. 2003)
FACTS: In March, 1996, Harun Fountain was shot in the back of the head at point-blank range by
a playmate. As a result of his injuries, including the loss of his right eye, Fountain required
extensive lifesaving medical services from a variety of medical services providers, including Yale
Diagnostic Radiology (plaintiff). The expenses at Yale totaled $17,694. Yale billed Vernetta
Turner-Tucker (Tucker), Fountain's mother, but the bill went unpaid and, in 1999, Yale obtained
a judgment against her. In January, 2001, all of Tucker's debts were discharged in bankruptcy,
including the Yale judgment.
Tucker filed suit against the boy who had shot Fountain. However, Fountain succumbed to his
injuries, passing away before the case was settled. The settlement on the tort case was placed into
probate court as part of Fountain’s estate. Tucker was the administrator of Fountain’s estate.
When the settlement was deposited, Yale asked the probate court for payment of its $17,694
judgment from the estate.
DECISION BELOW: The Probate Court denied the motion. Yale appealed to the trial court, and
the trial court held for Yale. Tucker and the estate (defendants) appealed.
ISSUE ON APPEAL: Can minors be held liable for necessaries when their parents cannot or refuse
to pay?
DECISION: . . . we conclude that Connecticut recognizes the doctrine of necessaries. We further
conclude that, pursuant to the doctrine, the defendants are liable for payment to the plaintiff for
the services rendered to Fountain.
When a medical service provider renders necessary medical care to an injured minor, two contracts
arise: the primary contract between the provider and the minor's parents; and an implied in law
contract between the provider and the minor himself. The primary contract between the provider
and the parents is based on the parents' duty to pay for their children's necessary expenses, under
both common law and statute. Such contracts, where not express, may be implied in fact and
generally arise both from the parties' conduct and their reasonable expectations. The primacy of
this contract means that the provider of necessaries must make all reasonable efforts to collect
from the parents before resorting to the secondary, implied in law contract with the minor.
The present case illustrates the inequity that would arise if no implied in law contract arose between
Fountain and plaintiff. Fountain received, through a settlement with the boy who caused his
injuries, funds that were calculated, at least in part, on the costs of the medical services provided
to him by the plaintiff in the wake of those injuries. This fact further supports a determination of
an implied in law contract under the circumstances of the case.
Tucker had four years to pay the plaintiff's bill for the services rendered to ...

1. Man Wins $1.5M Over Profane Debt Collection Calls
A jury has awarded a Texas man more than $1.5 million in a lawsuit over profane voicemail
messages allegedly left by a collections agency.
Lawyers for Allen Jones, of Lewisville, Texas, say he was subjected to harassing phone calls from
Advanced Call Center Technologies. Employees, lawyers said, used the n-word and the f-word and
made racially-charged remarks about Jones, who is black.
In one voicemail message, a collector suggested that Jones "go pick some m*****f****** cotton
fields," according to recordings provided by Jones' lawyers.
"It got out of control," Jones, 26, said. "It was horrific."
Dean Siotos, a lawyer for Advanced Call Center Technologies, called the language in the voicemails
"indefensible" and said that the calls allegedly placed by ACT employees "must have been in some
sort of personal attack unrelated to the business."

collect debts," he said.
Two ACT employees named in Jones' lawsuit no longer work at the company, Siotos said. He said the
company, which has headquarters in Pennsylvania, will wait until an official judgment is entered on
the jury verdict before deciding whether to appeal. The jury issued its verdict last Friday.
Jones said that the collection calls took place in August, 2007 and stemmed from an $81 credit card
debt. Jones said the he had actually paid off the debt at the time he started receiving calls from
https://independent.academia.edu/WilliamsMadilynn ACT, but the collections agents wouldn't stop
calling even after he told them the debt was resolved.
The calls came as early as 6:30 a.m. and as late as 11 p.m., said lawyer Dean Malone, who along
with Mark Frenkel, represented Jones in the case. In addition to profanity, one of the messages
included a sexual message about Jones' wife, Malone said.
"It was just significant, over-the-top harassment," he said. "I've handled hundreds of these cases
over the years. This is by far the worst I've ever seen."
After a two-week trial, a jury found ACT and its former employees had violated Texas debt collection
rules and awarded Jones $50,000 for mental anguish, $143,000 in attorney's fees and $1.5 million in
additional damages.
The Jones verdict comes days after another debt collection call made headlines: A New Mexico man
is suing Verizon Wireless, alleging that one of its debt collectors threatened to blow his house up
over a $308 unpaid bill.
Al Burrows, 45, said Verizon had already given him 90 days to pay up when he received a call from
another bill collector.

immediate payment.
"I am gonna blow your http://www.loc.gov/law/ m*****f****** house up," the bill collector said,
according to the lawsuit filed with New Mexico's First Judicial District Court. Listen to Al Burrows'
call with a Verizon representative here.

payment plan as soon as he found out about the debt.
