Anti-Bribery Backpedal

Trump’s pause of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act has left companies confused and cast doubt on US leadership of anti-corruption efforts.

Think that the class action plaintiffs' attorney has a good case? Now you can invest in it, says James Koutoulas, CEO of JurisTrade, which he calls "the first secondary marketplace for litigation assets." Spreading risk and reward from big lawsuits makes sense. They can pay out billions, but involve huge upfront costs and take years to resolve. And of course, the value of a losing case drops to zero.

Banks, asset managers, and corporates push crypto and digital currencies into the mainstream amid shifting financial dynamics. The argest bank in Italy, Intesa Sanpaolo, quietly purchased $1 million worth of bitcoin in early January. The move was not publicly disclosed; it surfaced in an internal bank memo.
