| CEO of Saygus smartphone company that never released a phone charged with fraud Posted: 21 Aug 2021 03:07 PM PDT  A Utah man who touted a revolutionary new smartphone for several years but failed to produce one, has been charged by the US Attorney's office in Utah with securities fraud. a new filing shows. Chad Leon Sayers solicited approximately 300 investors to invest $10 million in Saygus, promising "imminent billion-dollar success," according to the Justice Department. Instead of using the funds he raised to create the promised smartphone, he paid personal expenses and debts, and paid older investors with funds he raised from newer ones, which the US Attorney's office in Utah called "Ponzi-like." Sayers allegedly spent $2.17 million of the money raised on office rent, about $800,000 of the funds to settle other lawsuits, $500,000 on legal fees,... |

| Go read this story of why Aaliyah’s ‘One in a Million’ album took 20 years to come to streaming Posted: 21 Aug 2021 12:21 PM PDT  The 1996 album "One in a Million," by Aaliyah finally came to streaming platforms on Friday, almost 20 years after the singer's death in a 2001 plane crash. A huge star in the 1990s and early 2000s, much of Aaliyah's music has been missing from streaming platforms for the past two decades. As Billboard magazine reported in a lengthy feature earlier this month, Aaliyah's uncle, music producer Barry Hankerson, and her estate, controlled by her mother Diane Haughton and brother Rashad Haughton, have been at odds for years. According to Billboard, Hankerson has made a distribution deal to release the entire catalog of Blackground Records— which includes Aaliyah's music as well as recordings from other artists including Timbaland & Magoo,... |
| China passes new privacy law aimed at protecting users’ personal data Posted: 21 Aug 2021 09:08 AM PDT  China has passed a new privacy law aimed at protecting users' personal data, state media reported.

| Judge rules California Prop 22 gig workers law is unconstitutional Posted: 21 Aug 2021 06:36 AM PDT  California's gig workers law, which allows companies like Uber and Lyft to treat workers as independent contractors— not employees— has been ruled unconstitutional and unenforceable by a judge. Voters approved the law as ballot initiative Proposition 22 in November, with companies like Uber, Lyft and DoorDash spending more than $200 million to campaign for the measure. Labor organizations, including the Service Employees International Union, opposed it. California Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch ruled Friday that the law illegally "limits the power of a future legislature to define app-based drivers as workers subject to workers' compensation law," adding that "The entirety of Proposition 22 is unenforceable." He also ruled that it was... |
