Encompassing three separate orders, the SEC has awarded a total of $7 million to five whistleblowers for assisting staff with information relevant to investigations. Due to confidentiality requirements, the identities of the whistleblowers and the companies involved are redacted in the final orders. Therefore, it is not known whether one or more of the orders are related to each other, or if the orders involve a single company, two companies, or three different companies. It is noted that all the whistleblowers involved provided original information voluntarily, which ultimately led to the success of each enforcement action. In the first order, two joint whistleblowers were awarded $5.4 million, and each will receive 50%, or $2.7 million. Their information led the SEC staff to open an investigation into the company. They provided important documentation that began and continued the investigation through its completion. A third claimant in this case was denied an award and did…

LHR day continues here at LHB: David Korostyshevsky, Colorado State University, has published Incapable of Managing His Estate: Habitual Drunkards and the Expansion of Guardianship in the Nineteenth-Century United States online in Law and History Review:During the first half of the nineteenth century, Mid-Atlantic States expanded guardianship to include habitual drunkards. Legislators in Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey empowered courts to put habitual drunkards under guardianship, a legal status that stripped them of their rights to own property, enter into contracts, make wills, and, in some states, even vote. Amid the dramatic nineteenth-century expansion of male suffrage, the habitual drunkard signified a masculine failure of self-government that disqualified propertied men from the privileges of full citizenship. The struggle to define habitual drunkenness, detect the habitual drunkard, and put him under guardianship transformed the courtroom into an arena for…

By Darren Smith, Weekend Contributor Russia continues its will to control the thoughts and inquiries of citizens. Most recently the State Duma is voting to amend existing legislation to assess an administrative fine against individual internet users “searching for and gaining access to extremist materials.” Predictably the definition of Extremist likely will include anything the state considers objectionable and the targets will likely include its citizenry, not just the content providers or authors. If adopted individuals making unlawful internet searches could receive fines between three and five thousand rubles. ($38 to $64). Officials face fines of ten to twenty thousand rubles ($128 to $256) and for legal entities one hundred to two hundred thousand rubles ($1,280 to $2,560). The amendments further prohibit attempts to bypass enforcement or surveillance by gaining access to prohibited information by using VPN services and also proscribe the advertisement of…

The FDA has announced plans to eliminate or propose eliminating Standards of Identity (“SOIs”) for 52 food items, stating that many of these regulations are outdated. These standards, which have existed since 1939, define what ingredients and production methods are required for certain foods like milk, peanut butter, ketchup, and jam. FDA Commissioner Martin Makary said that due to advancements in food science and consumer protections, many of these rules are no longer necessary. The goal is to give food manufacturers more flexibility. For instance, eliminating the jam standard would remove the requirement for a minimum fruit content in products labeled as jam. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supported the decision, calling it a move to remove regulations that no longer serve the public. The FDA’s proposal includes: Immediately revoking standards for 11 canned fruits and vegetables no longer sold in the U.S.…
