The news.
Minus the bullshit.

Business.

They want your wallet. They’re not asking nicely.

Business/COMPLIANCE BY COMA

Revere Securities’ Fraud-Detection System Was a Guy Staring at a Spreadsheet and Seeing Fuck-All

FINRA smacked the broker with an $800,000 fine after it failed to notice eight 'unemployed' Aussies with $200K incomes dump a stock that spiked 318% and collapsed the same day. The firm’s entire anti-money laundering program was a manual review of daily trades, a method regulators told them was broken eight years ago. This is their third fucking settlement.

Business/GITS FUCKED

The IRS's Ghost Hunter System is a Fucking Joke That Can't Track a Single Dickhead

A GAO report reveals the IRS's multi-billion-dollar ghost preparer problem is managed by a system called GITS that cannot track trends, outcomes, or individual preparers, a database that only finds people with IDs the criminals don't have, and a total lack of strategy, metrics, or basic fucking information.

Business/Growth, You Absolute Cunts

Tory Wankers Stage Another Round of 'Will We, Won't We' with Heathrow's Third Runway

Chancellor John Healey, speaking from the exotic irrelevance of Bangkok, declared the £33 billion, home‑demolishing, motorway‑rerouting, climate‑fucking project 'a case for growth' while his boss, Prime Minister Andy Burnham, continues to play the world's most tedious game of political hide‑and‑seek.

Business/Inbox of the Damned

Cloudera Set Up a Faulty Email Account for U.S. Job Seekers

Federal investigators say the software company kept PERM job openings off its public website and directed American applicants to an email address that could not receive external mail. Cloudera, which denies intent, will pay $600,000 in fines and fund $1.4 million in back wages.

Business/Ministerial Monopoly Panic

Nandy's Minded to Cockblock Sky's £1.6bn ITV Grab

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy declares herself minded to intervene in Sky's purchase of ITV's media and entertainment division over free expression gripes and news diversity bollocks, spotlighting the 26 percent TV news share and 86 percent BBC combo stranglehold.

Business/ECO-IRRESPONSIBLE

ECOsponsible Let Its Dam Rot for 20 Years, Ghosted the Feds, Then Got Dumped by Implied Surrender

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is terminating the license for ECOsponsible's Herkimer hydroelectric dam, which has not operated since 2006, because the company spent years ignoring repair orders, submitted five deficient plans, skipped its own dam inspection, and stopped answering letters. The founder died, his son filed paperwork he had no authority to file, and now the breakup is official.
