Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:03:02 GMT

From the outside looking in, a typical afternoon for financial advisor Ian Alvarez might not seem much different from any other white-collar worker’s day. You would find him in his West LA office with a view, natural light flooding in while he takes calls or meets with clients.But, if you were a fly on the wall listening in, you’d learn that Alvarez’s day-to-day managing the finances of LA’s top-earning content creators is anything but traditional.As the man on his clients’ speed dial to answer texts and calls about what to do with the influx of cash from their latest viral post or whether it’s okay to buy a Rolex while vacationing in Miami, Alvarez has made a name for himself in the creator space.He says he was in the right place at the right time, having recognized the boom in a new class of young millionaires that the rest of the rather outdated financial services industry didn’t understand and had been ignoring.“The financial services industry is designed around a 9 to 5 employ...

Supreme Court to decide if ER docs can perform necessary abortions

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:03:02 GMT

By Devan Cole | CNNThe Supreme Court said Friday that it will decide whether emergency room doctors can perform medically necessary abortions in states that prohibit them, bypassing the court of appeals to resolve on an expedited basis a lawsuit brought by the United States against Idaho.It’s the second major abortion case the court will consider this year amid the fallout from the reversal of Roe v. Wade in 2022. The justices are already set to hear a case about access to the abortion drug mifepristone – even in states where the procedure is legal.Idaho’s Defense of Life Act is a near total ban on abortion, but there is an exception to prevent the mother’s death. The law imposes penalties on doctors who perform prohibited abortions unless the “physician determined in good faith medical judgement and based on the facts known to the physician at the time, that the abortion was necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman.” Physicians who violate the law could face criminal pe...

NY seeks $370 million in penalties in Trump’s civil fraud trial. His response: ‘They should pay me’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:03:02 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — New York state lawyers increased their request for penalties to over $370 million Friday in Donald Trump’s civil business fraud trial. He retorted: “They should pay me.” The exchange came as lawyers for both sides filed papers highlighting their takeaways from the trial in court filings ahead of closing arguments, set for next Thursday. Trump is expected to attend, though plans could change. It will be the final chance for state and defense lawyers to make their cases. The civil lawsuit, which accuses the leading Republican presidential hopeful of deceiving banks and insurers by vastly inflating his net worth, is consequential for him even while he fights four criminal cases in various courts. The New York civil case could end up barring him from doing business in the state where he built his real estate empire. On top of that, state Attorney General Letitia James is seeking the $370 million penalty, plus interest — up from a pretrial figure of $250 million, nu...

Feds to investigate entire New York City subway system after derailment injures more than 20 people

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:03:02 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Federal transit safety investigators will be reviewing all of New York City’s subway operations in response to a collision and derailment that caused minor injuries to more than 20 people, the chairperson of the National Transportation Safety Board said Friday.Chair Jennifer Homendy said the NTSB was expanding its investigation beyond Thursday’s collision between two trains in Manhattan because there have been two serious episodes in just over a month involving the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. On Nov. 29, an MTA subway worker was dragged under a train and killed while working as a rail safety flagger.“This is the second accident on New York City transit’s property in 37 days. That’s not typical,” Homendy said at a news conference at the 96th Street station, where Thursday’s collision happened. “The NTSB has been very focused on system safety … so coming here we are going to want to look at the entire system including how ...
