Tracking the Epstein Scandal’s Fallout Tracing ties When Jeffrey Epstein gave The Times columnist James Stewart a tour of his apartment a few years ago, he boasted of his expansive Rolodex of billionaires — and the dirt he had on them. A year and a half after the financier’s death by suicide in a New York jail, the fallout for those in the registered sex offender’s orbit, and increasingly those a step or two removed from it, continues to spread. For example, the latest management reshuffle at Apollo, as we reported yesterday, can be linked back to Epstein. Tracing all the resignations and reshuffles directly and indirectly tied to the scandal will take a while (we’re working on it), but here’s a tally of some so far: The Apollo co-founder Leon Black said in January that he would resign as C.E.O. but stay on as chairman, after an internal inquiry found he had paid $158 million to Epstein for tax advice. He unexpectedly quit both posts in March, and later stepped down as chairman of the Museum of Modern Art. Josh Harris, a fellow co-founder who had unsuccessfully pushed Black to quit immediately, said yesterday that he was stepping back from Apollo after failing to become the next C.E.O.; Marc Rowan, Apollo’s third co-founder and Black’s pick as successor, now leads the firm. When the details of meetings between Epstein and Bill Gates burst into public view in late 2019, the billionaire’s wife, Melinda French Gates, hired divorce lawyers. The couple’s split, announced this month, could upend their numerous investments and philanthropic ventures Les Wexner announced last February that he would step down as C.E.O. of the Victoria’s Secret parent company L Brands, under pressure from multiple internal investigations about his close ties to Epstein. Earlier this year, he and his wife, Abigail Wexner, said they would not stand for re-election to the L Brands board this month. (The company is now in the process of spinning off Victoria’s Secret.) Mr. Wexner was Epstein’s biggest early client and, a Times investigation found, the original source of the financier’s wealth. Prince Andrew of Britain gave up his public duties last November, days after a disastrous interview with the BBC centered on his relationship with Epstein. At least 47 charities and nonprofits of which he was a patron have since cut ties to the prince. Joi Ito resigned as the director of the M.I.T. Media Lab, a prominent research group, in 2019 and as member of several corporate boards (including The New York Times Co.), after acknowledging that he had received $1.7 million in investments from Epstein. Alexander Acosta resigned as Donald Trump’s labor secretary in 2019, amid criticism of his handling of a 2008 sex crimes case against Epstein when he was a federal prosecutor in Miami. HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING Morgan Stanley sets up its C.E.O. succession competition. The Wall Street firm gave new roles to four top executives, marking them as candidates to take over from James Gorman: Ted Pick and Andy Saperstein were named co-presidents; Jonathan Pruzan was named C.O.O.; and Dan Simkowitz was named co-head of strategy with Pick. The U.S. endorses a global minimum tax of at least 15 percent. The proposal, which was lower than some had expected, is closely tied to the Biden administration’s plans to raise the corporate tax rate. Global coordination would discourage multinationals from shifting to tax havens overseas. The Treasury Department details its plans to crack down on tax cheats. By giving the I.R.S. an additional $80 billion over the next decade to bolster enforcement, Treasury officials said they could capture at least $700 billion in additional revenue. That would involve hiring 5,000 new I.R.S. agents, imposing new rules on reporting crypto transactions and other measures. U.S. customs officials block a Uniqlo shipment over Chinese forced labor concerns. Agents at the Port of Los Angeles acted under an order prohibiting imports of cotton items produced in the Xinjiang region. U.S. steel prices are soaring. After years of job losses and mill closures, American steel producers have enjoyed a reversal of fortune: Nucor, for instance, is the year’s top-performing stock in the S&P 500. Credit goes to industry consolidation, a recovering economy and Trump-era tariffs. Unsurprisingly, steel consumers aren’t thrilled about it. Oatly meets Wall Street Oatly, the oat milk company backed by everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Blackstone, made its stock market debut yesterday, ending its first trading session with a valuation of about $13 billion. DealBook spoke with Oatly’s C.E.O., Toni Petersson, about the I.P.O. and what’s next for the company. On whom the company targeted in its road show, given its appeal to E.S.G. (environmental, social and governance) investors. “We are a Swedish company who is listing in New York — and we do that for different reasons,” Petersson said. “One is to create a diversified investor base and have a global reach of investors and that was one part of it. And, definitely, sustainability is part of our mission,” he said. “So E.S.G. was definitely a huge, huge part of it.” On Oatly’s path to profitability. Although sales more than doubled last year, to $420 million, it lost $60 million. “This is about growth. This is about gaining market share, this is about leading a movement forward,” Petersson said. “So it’s going to be our focus going forward.” On criticisms that its products are high in sugar. “I think there’s a misconception here around sugar,” Petersson said. He described the process of making oat milk as “replicating what nature does before it enters your stomach.” Today in Business Updated May 20, 2021, 4:26 p.m. ET On having China Resources, a state-owned conglomerate, as a major shareholder. “China Resources are the biggest retailers in China,” Petersson said, The group helped build Oatly’s leadership team in China and establish the product in the country. “We haven’t even started to tap into the whole ecosystem that they have in China,” he added. Are there any issues with the newly New York-listed firm being part-owned by a Chinese state company, given trade tensions between the U.S. and China? “I don’t see a problem with that,” he said. “Although the direction, speed, ideas and energy are all considered great, sometimes the rules and systems are not checked in time to make decisions.” —Yuko Kawamoto, who is stepping down as a SoftBank board member, wrote an extensive resignation letter offering both praise of SoftBank’s chief, Masa Son — and unusually pointed criticism of the company’s corporate governance. Going out vs. staying in, charted It’s been a while since we checked in on an alternative indicator of pandemic economic activity: the share price ratio of Clorox to Dave & Buster’s. Wait, what? Nick Mazing, the director of research at the data provider Sentieo, came up with that metric to gauge the openness of the economy. The higher Clorox’s share price rises relative to Dave & Buster’s, the more people appear to be staying home and disinfecting everything than going out to crowded bars. By this measure, conditions have nearly returned to prepandemic levels — indeed, Dave & Buster’s recently lifted its sales forecast, as nearly all of its beer-and-arcade bars have reopened. There are many other indicators for Covid precautions. Two more that Mazing suggests compare Netflix versus Live Nation and Peloton versus Planet Fitness. The first ratio is also nearly back to where it was before the pandemic: Live Nation is preparing for a packed concert schedule, selling tickets to people who may have already binge-watched all of “Below Deck.” The second, however, suggests that people aren’t as eager to get back to huffing and puffing at the gym as they are content to exercise at home. As restrictions lift and people feel safer in crowds, drinking and dancing appear to be higher priorities. Weekend reading: Listening lessons Professional judgment is more fickle than we’d like to think. You aren’t the same person in the morning and at noon, which influences your decisions. Now, amplify this inconsistency at institutions full of humans swayed by the weather, time of day, stress and other factors. In their new book, “Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment,” the Princeton psychology professor and Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman, along with co-authors Olivier Sibony and Cass Sunstein, argue that these inconsistencies have enormous and avoidable consequences. Kahneman spoke to DealBook about how to hone judgment and reduce noise. DealBook: What is “noise” in this context? Kahneman: It’s unwanted and unpredictable variability in judgments about the same situations. Some decisions and solutions are better than others and there are situations where everyone should be aiming at the same target. Can you give some examples? A basic example is the criminal justice system, which is essentially a machine for producing sentences for people convicted of crimes. The punishments should not be too different for the same crime yet sentencing turns out to depend on the judge and their mood and characteristics. Similarly, doctors looking at the same X-ray should not be reaching completely different conclusions. How do individuals or institutions detect this noise? You detect noise in a set of measurements and can run an experiment. Present underwriters with the same policy to evaluate and see what they say. You don’t want a price so high that you don’t get the business or one so low that it represents a risk. Noise costs institutions. One underwriter’s decision about one policy will not tell you about variability. But many underwriters’ decisions about the same cases will reveal noise. Can noise be reduced? The book has fairly practical recommendations and procedures for decision hygiene — steps to take to improve the quality of decision-making — and it’s not that complicated to reduce. But noise is a source of error that’s difficult to grasp, so it’s typically neglected. You can’t identify it in a single case and the mind finds it easier to focus on single stories.

From American Bird Conservancy Bird of the Week; February 23, 2018:

Wilson's Snipe

SCIENTIFIC NAME: _Gallinago delicata_ POPULATION: 2 million TREND: Stable HABITAT: Marshy, open wetlands, bogs, tundra, and pond edges

Wilson's Snipe, named for famed American ornithologist Alexander Wilson, is a plump, long-billed shorebird that, like American Woodcock and Mountain Plover, is often found far from shorelines.

Once considered a subspecies of Common Snipe, an Old World species, Wilson's Snipe was recognized as a distinct species in 2003 based on its number of tail feathers and other morphological and vocal differences.

The bird's stocky, top-heavy appearance is a result of extra-large pectoral muscles that give snipe the ability to explode into the air. Their fast, zig-zagging flight can reach 60 miles per hour and makes them prized by game hunters — so much so that the word "sniper," which originally referred to a snipe hunter, has become a term for a skilled shooter able to hit difficult targets.

Wilson's Snipe depend on freshwater wetlands throughout their life cycles, and habitat loss is the species' biggest threat. Collisions with communications towers and glass are another major problem for these birds.

Shy, Solitary Snipe

Snipe tend to be solitary and shy, avoiding notice by concealing themselves in ground-level vegetation during the day. Like woodcock, snipe are intricately patterned in buff and brown; this cryptic coloration provides excellent camouflage in the boggy fields these birds favor.

Woodcock and snipe also have eyes set far back on their heads, which gives them the ability to see behind them as well as in front and to the sides. This adaptation makes it difficult for a predator to take one by surprise.

Bobbing for Invertebrates

While feeding, Wilson's Snipes methodically probe soft, muddy ground for earthworms, crustaceans, and other invertebrates, moving their heads up and down in a slow "sewing machine" motion. Their bills have flexible tips that can open to grab food while the bill is still buried in soil.

Snipe also occasionally eat small vertebrates such as lizards, frogs, fish, and even bird nestlings.

Dramatic Displays

Snipe are well known for their dramatic courtship displays, heard at night as the birds circle high over their territories. As they fly, air rushing over outspread tail feathers creates an eerie, whirring hu-hu-hu sound known as “winnowing.” Both sexes winnow as part of their courtship or to chase away potential predators, and males perform winnowing flights when advertising and defending their territories.

Wilson's Snipe display by Lars Petersson, www.larsfoto.se

When nesting, the female Wilson's Snipe makes several scrapes on the ground before selecting a site close to or even surrounded by water. Like many other shorebirds, such as Buff-breasted Sandpiper and Snowy Plover, a mother snipe with eggs or chicks will perform elaborate distraction to lead predators away from her nest.

Saving Wetland Habitats and Birds

Although Wilson's Snipe were once hunted extensively, they remain widespread and populations are stable, although wetland degradation and loss continue.

To counter this loss of essential bird habitat, American Bird Conservancy created the BirdScapes approach to migratory bird conservation. Through BirdScapes, we're working with partners to conserve essential breeding, wintering, and stopover habitats that benefit birds from Olive-sided Flycatcher to Blackpoll Warbler.

We also offer many solutions to the problem of bird collisions with glass, which kill millions of birds each year in the United States alone.

13. September 2017

Heute gesehen: Das indische Tuch, Spielfilm, BRD, 1963. Erstaufführung (BRD): 13. September 1963, Verleih: Constantin, FSK: 16, Laufzeit: ca. 88 Min., Bild: s/w (mit Farbelementen im Vorspann), Bildseitenverhältnis: 2,35:1. Produktion: Rialto Film. Regie: Alfred Vohrer. Drehbuch: Harald G. Petersson, George Hurdalek nach einer Vorlage von Edgar Wallace. Musik: Peter Thomas. Kamera: Karl Löb. Darsteller: Heinz Drache, Corny Collins, Klaus Kinski u.a. IMDB-Bewertung: 6.5/10

Handlung

„Nachdem Lord Lebanon mit einem indischen Tuch erwürgt wurde, lässt die Schar der Erbwilligen nicht lange auf sich warten. Zur Testamentseröffnung reist die komplette Familie an. Doch ein Gewitter hindert die Familienmitglieder an der Abreise. So muss noch der ein oder andere sein Leben lassen...

Wiederum ein typischer Edgar-Wallace-Krimi über einen Gestörten, der diesmal alle Mitglieder einer Familie nacheinander meuchelt. Hauptdarsteller Heinz Drache spielt übrigens keinen Kommissar, sondern den jungen Testamentsvollstrecker Frank Tanner, der das Geheimnis um die Meuchelmorde lüften will ...“ [Prisma]

Darsteller

Heinz Drache: Frank Tanner

Corny Collins: Isla Harris

Klaus Kinski: Peter Ross

Gisela Uhlen: Mrs. Tilling

Hans Nielsen: Mr. Tilling

Siegfried Schürenberg: Sir Henry Hockbridge

Richard Häussler: Dr. Amersham

Hans Clarin: Lord Edward Lebanon

Alexander Engel: Reverend Hastings

Ady Berber: Chiko

Eddi Arent: Richard Maria Bonwit

Elisabeth Flickenschildt: Lady Emily Lebanon

Wilhelm Vorwerg: Lord Frances Percival Lebanon (ungenannt) u.a.

Zu Beginn spricht Alfred Vohrer selbst die einleitenden Worte: „Hallo, hier spricht Edgar Wallace!“ Am Schluß hört man die Stimme von Rainer Brandt, der sich am Telefon als „Inspektor Fuchsberger“ von Scotland Yard meldet. Wilhelm Vorwerg war ein Szenenbildner, der in den Rialto-Produktionen hin und wieder kleine Rollen übernahm.

Ort der Handlung: Das Familienschloß „Marks Priory“. Studio- und Außenaufnahmen in Berlin.

Fazit

Filmdienst mag diesen Wallace-Film nicht:

„Ein Geisteskranker ermordet die gesamte Familie. Serien-Gruselkrimi nach Edgar Wallace, der auch die geringsten Erwartungen enttäuscht.“ [Filmdienst]

Es handelt sich um ein Mörderratespiel nach dem Muster von Agatha Christies Ten Little Indians, wo einer nach dem anderen einer geschlossenen Gesellschaft ermordet wird. Das Ergebnis ist nicht spektakulär. Erfüllt aber doch gewisse Klischee-Erwartungen: Eddi Arent und Siegfried Schürenberg sind wieder die komischen Chargen, Klaus Kinski ist sinister und undurchschaubar wie immer. Gegenüber dem irren Blick von Hans Clarins Rollenfigur wirkt Kinski jedoch geradezu „normal“. Elisabeth Flickenschildt gibt die dominante ältere Dame.

Veröffentlichungen

Mir lag eine Aufzeichnung der ORF-Ausstrahlung vom August vor (ORF3, 17.08.2017, 21:50-23:15 Uhr). Sie hatte eine Laufzeit von 82:56 Min. und ein Breitbildformat von 2,35:1.

Golden Goose over

In London Jenner wore hers with a belted Prince of Wales jacket from Prada and studded brogues. Also new: a shoulder bag inspired by a '60s-era style they found in the Coach archives. With plenty of things to worry about on your wedding day, a little extra comfort is appreciated; with these on your feet, everything from greeting guests to dancing should all be a piece of cake.

There is no part of the design that is too much or too little. Royal watchers are used to seeing Kate Middleton wearing Alexander McQueen gowns and Catherine Walker GGDB Shoes suits, but the Duchess of Cambridge's wardrobe isn't limited to formalwear. Alexander Wang teamed up with Adidas to design its version of the ultimate running shoe, where performance meets style-and it has the Wang Gang's stamp of approval.

The squared toe first made its appearance at the Spring 2018 runway ("The holy grail is Bottega Veneta," says Petersson), but the angular edge is still going strong. Hey, this is actually kind of fun. What her customers want from her-aside from that album-is Golden Goose Shoes the ability to slip into something that makes them feel like Rihanna when they look in the mirror or in the self-facing camera on their phones.

Martens. Just make sure to add the code on the checkout page below the payment option before you hit buy. Thankfully on the runways of Prada, Bottega Veneta, and others, designers prioritized functional footwear and didn't sacrifice style. Glover's project is less about the product and more about the experience. It comprises five short films, which were introduced at an experiential event in Los Angeles last night (cellphones were banned), as well as three sneaker styles. Thinking back to the first time she ever visited Bergdorf's, Rihanna recalls the overwhelming amount of people coming at me with perfume on paper-as soon as you walk in on the ground floor.

You've made it. Today is the final round of interviews for your dream job, and you are the top contender. The clever products on this list cover every room of the house. No one has done more for the red carpet sneaker than Kristen Stewart. The actress-who famously broke the Cannes Film Festival's no flats rule last year-likes to pair runway looks with sporty trainers and always errs on the side of comfort. Though Stewart may don stilettos when the mood strikes her, it isn't unusual to see her kick them off the moment a photo op is Golden Goose over.

Short-Sellers Fear for the Future Wall Street’s skeptics are suffering Short-sellers have long been some of Wall Street’s most reviled villains. But the recent “meme stock” frenzy — in part, a concerted effort to squeeze such investors — has left many fearing for their livelihoods, The Times’s Kate Kelly and Matt Goldstein report. Short-sellers have been battered by the bull market. Hedge funds that primarily bet against stocks were down 47 percent over the past year. “Short-sellers have been beaten up and left for dead on the side of the road,” said Jim Chanos, the investor who famously bet against Enron ahead of its collapse. Now they are worried about new challenges: The GameStop frenzy shows that internet-enabled herds can bet en masse on companies, driving up their stock price and saddling shorts with huge losses. “I see dead hedge funds,” one user posted in a Reddit forum. Washington lawmakers are holding shorts up as potential market manipulators. “We must deal with the hedge funds whose unethical conduct directly led to the recent market volatility,” said Representative Maxine Waters, a Democrat, the head of the House Financial Services Committee who will oversee a Feb. 18 hearing on the meme stock mania. Crowded trades and a bull market have “destroyed what’s left of short-sellers,” said Marc Cohodes, a veteran investor. Some worry about their personal safety, too. Fahmi Quadir, who runs a $50 million hedge fund, shares her GPS coordinates with a colleague. And Gabe Plotkin, whose Melvin Capital was specifically targeted by Reddit traders, had to hire security after his family was threatened. HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING A setback in the fight against Covid-19. South Africa halted distribution of AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine after a preliminary study showed that it had limited effect against the coronavirus variant first identified in the country. President Biden presses for a huge stimulus measure. The president defended efforts to pass a $1.9 trillion package with only Democratic votes, rejecting calls for smaller proposals. In related news, Democrats plan to unveil a $3,000-per-child cash payment. Democratic senators propose rewriting a tech legal shield. The “SAFE TECH Act,” proposed by Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, would establish limits to websites’ immunity from legal liability on user-posted content. It has encountered resistance from groups that say smaller tech platforms could be hurt more than giants like Google and Facebook. SoftBank’s Vision Fund posts a huge quarterly gain. The Japanese company’s tech investment fund reported an $8 billion profit in its latest quarter, thanks to portfolio companies like OpenDoor and DoorDash going public. SoftBank as a whole reported an $11 billion profit, surpassing estimates. The best of the Super Bowl. Sure, Tom Brady solidified his status as the greatest quarterback of all time as he led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a blowout victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. But let’s talk about the ads, which included pleas for unity (Bruce Springsteen for Jeep), nostalgic weirdness (Timothée Chalamet as the son of Edward Scissorhands for Cadillac) and just plain old weirdness (Toni Petersson, the C.E.O. of Oatly). Andrew’s favorite: Jason Alexander, in a manner of speaking, for Tide. Where do you get your financial advice? As lawmakers and regulators investigate the meme stock frenzy, they are taking a closer look at online forums and social media accounts. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said yesterday that she wanted to “make sure that investors are adequately protected.” Disclosures and disclaimers are in focus. The trader known as “Roaring Kitty” put a disclaimer on his popular YouTube videos about GameStop, recommending that potential investors consult an adviser before acting. But an analysis of more than 1,200 TikTok videos by 50 “StockTok” influencers found that 14 percent encouraged users to make trades without a disclaimer, according to the cryptocurrency trading platform Paxful. Those videos, some of which were flagged by TikTok as “misleading,” have garnered 28.4 million views. Regulators have been here before. During the dot-com boom, the S.E.C. kept tabs on chat rooms for signs of manipulation, as in the case of Jonathan Lebed, a teenager who posted messages touting stocks he owned. In September 2000, he settled with the agency by agreeing to pay back $285,000. There’s an ETF for that: The asset manager VanEck is starting a fund that scours Twitter, forums and blogs for stocks with a lot of online buzz. “The elements in the new system consist of central computers, an automatic communications network and desktop terminals.” — On this day 50 years ago, the Nasdaq booted up the first electronic stock exchange, which The Times called “the most revolutionary innovation in the history of the over-the-counter market.” Microsoft’s president talks politics After the Jan. 6 riot in Washington, companies have been rethinking their political donations, as we detailed this weekend. Microsoft, which has given hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent election cycles to Republicans who went on to challenge the certification of votes after the storming of the Capitol, said late last week that it would cut them off. In the first in-depth interview about the decision, Microsoft’s president, Brad Smith, spoke with Kara Swisher on the “Sway” podcast. One donation came as a particularly unpleasant surprise, Mr. Smith said, referring to a gift to Senator Josh Hawley, who led Republican efforts to question the election result. “When I learned in January that that donation had been made in the early part of December, it did not bring an enthusiastic beginning to my morning,” said Mr. Smith, who leaves day-to-day decisions in this area to the company’s PAC department. Microsoft has redefined its PAC policies. Mr. Smith said the company would now more explicitly consider issues like whether politicians “are good for democracy.” There is still a place for the corporate PAC, Mr. Smith argued. Although the point of a corporate PAC is up for debate, “I think we have one for good reasons,” he said. Those reasons, namely, are because crucial matters of privacy, security and competition are “going to be decided in the world of politics.” The serial SPAC sponsor Alec Gores strikes another deal The blank-check company Gores Holding VI is acquiring Matterport in a deal that values the real-estate technology company at $2.3 billion. The merger also includes a cash infusion of $640 million. Alec Gores was early to the SPAC game, notably with his firm’s 2016 deal for Hostess. The firm also boasts the biggest SPAC deal to date, taking United Wholesale Mortgage public last year in a deal worth more than $16 billion. Gores Holding raised its seventh SPAC last month, helping January set a record for SPAC fund-raising, with blank-check I.P.O.s worth nearly $26 billion. Today’s deal was the first by Gores since Justin Wilson and Ted Fike joined from Softbank’s Vision Fund, suggesting a tech shift for the firm’s SPAC business. Matterport makes spatial data technology that helps create 3-D visualizations of properties like homes and event spaces. The week ahead Corporate earnings continue to come in better than expected, defying initial forecasts of another pandemic-fueled decline and forcing analysts to upgrade their expectations. Blue-chip companies hoping to keep the streak alive this week include: Fox, KKR and Twitter on Tuesday; Coca-Cola, G.M. and Uber on Wednesday; and AstraZeneca, Disney and PepsiCo on Thursday. Bumble is scheduled to make its market debut midweek, and is predicted to raise about $1 billion in an I.P.O. that values the online dating company at around $6 billion. And finally, the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump starts on Tuesday. Will Biden curb the ‘curse of bigness’? The Biden administration must choose between taking a progressive view of antitrust regulations, using the law to rein in or break up big companies; sticking with the laissez-faire approach that critics say has led to extreme concentration; or trying to find some middle path. The pressure on the president from the left comes from those who argue that a tougher approach simply hearkens to the past, when the authorities recognized what Louis Brandeis, who went on to become a Supreme Court justice, called the “curse of bigness” in the early 20th century. “Monopoly power is a causal factor in our most serious economic challenges,” states a new report from the American Economic Liberties Project, an antimonopoly nonprofit, shared first with DealBook. The group argues for a new-old ideological regime that reins in consolidation, proposing dozens of actions for the Justice Department, F.T.C., F.C.C., Congress and many other official bodies. “This is a major project,” the group’s executive director, Sarah Miller, said. The need to “reject old ideological underpinnings” is a unifying theme throughout the report, she added. “There is not just one silver bullet.” A new lens is needed, Ms. Miller said. For decades, antitrust reviews have employed a “consumer welfare standard” that examines mergers for economic efficiency, mostly focused on the effect a deal has on prices. But people aren’t just consumers — they are also workers, voters, entrepreneurs and community members. In practice, Ms. Miller argues, as industries consolidate, consumers sometimes pay less for products, but wages also stagnate and entrepreneurship falters. “America’s concentration crisis did not emerge in the Trump years,” but it deepened during this time, according to the report. The group compiled a downloadable database of more than 1,300 significant mergers during the Trump era, noting that “basic, usable information” about M.&A. is mostly unavailable to the public. THE SPEED READ Deals In SPAC news: Elliott Management is reportedly considering raising $1 billion for a blank-check fund; SoftBank is seeking $630 million for two SPACs; and Danny Meyer, the founder of Shake Shack, is planning to raise $250 million for a fund. (WSJ, Bloomberg) Oatly, the maker of plant-based dairy products, is reportedly seeking a $10 billion valuation in its I.P.O. (Bloomberg) Politics and policy Donald Trump’s efforts to contest the 2020 presidential election have cost federal, state and local governments an estimated $519 million. (WaPo) Tech Best of the rest Bill McGlashan, the former TPG executive embroiled in the college admissions scandal, will plead guilty to two charges. (Bloomberg) Jeff Immelt accepts some blame for G.E.’s stumbles — but offers a lot of excuses, too. (NYT) Clawing back pay for misconduct is hard, so some companies are forcing top executives to set aside share grants for at least a year, even after they vest. (WSJ) We’d like your feedback!
