FTC votes to ban noncompete agreements
Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits
  • The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

  • The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

  • Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

  • Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Trump gag order hearing kicks off hush money trial: Live updates
Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order
  • Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

  • Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

  • Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

  • Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

Quick Glance: Money Laundering Saga in an African Monarchy
  • In 2012, Musa Motsa and his family, along with 180 others, were forcibly removed from their land to make way for a government-sanctioned Special Economic Zone (SEZ) called the Royal Science and Technology Park.

  • The SEZ, intended to promote economic growth and job creation, was instead dominated by mysterious gold refineries channeling millions of dollars to Dubai.

  • The monarchy of Eswatini under King Mswati III was at the center of a money laundering operation used by international investors to funnel funds through the country.

  • The involved companies like Mint of Eswatini and RME Bullion utilized the SEZ to conduct dubious financial transactions, raising concerns from the central bank and local authorities.
