APster rising Conrats to Stiffs dotcom for being ahead of the curve https://au.yahoo.com/news/russian-businessman-places-1m-bounty-231620997.ht… A Russian businessman has placed a $1m bounty on Vladimir Putin’s head and urged the country’s military officers to bring the president to justice. Entrepreneur Alex Konanykhin made the promise in a post on social media site LinkedIn and called it his “moral duty” to take action and help Ukraine following the unprovoked attack. “I promise to pay $1,000,000 to the officer(s) who, complying with their constitutional duty, arrest(s) Putin as a war criminal under Russian and international laws,” wrote Mr Konanykhin.

The cheap hearts
by zeynepaydogan 03 Mar '22

“The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen. The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority”

The €1.4B Steinhoff Securities Fraud Settlement
by Gunnar Larson 03 Mar '22

Check out my new article: https://litigationfinancejournal.com/the-e1-4b-steinhoff-securities-fraud-s… Steinhoff International Holdings NV recently settled the European Union’s second largest securities fraud claim, finalizing three years of complex contentious negotiations. Steinhoff, a Dutch firm with headquarters in South Africa, once operated over 40 retail brands across 30 countries. At its pinnacle, Steinhoff was valued at nearly €20B … and then in December 2017, Steinhoff disclosed accounting irregularities and the stock plunged 90%. BurfordCapital.com recently profiled <https://www.burfordcapital.com/insights/insights-container/steinhoff-settle…> the Steinhoff securities fraud scenario through to this month’s resolution. Announcement of the securities fraud situation wiped out €12B in share value, and Steinhoff faced nearly €8B in international legal claims. As it was not entirely clear if Steinhoff would be operational given the overall crisis, Burford was brought in to help victims of the securities fraud debacle recover losses. Burford outlines that settlement negotiations were forced to employ strategies to overcome conflicts of interest due to Steinhoff’s overall precarious financial predicament. Ultimately, Steinhoff’s settlement provides €800M to shareholders who were defrauded by the faulty accounting practices. Deloitte, which was Steinhoff’s former auditor, offered an additional €110M in compensation. Burford highlights recovering 20%+ of its client’s losses, an overall solution that still allows Steinhoff’s business to operate in the near-term. -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001
