They argued that would be “commensurate with the extraordinary dimensions of his crimes” committed at his financial empire, FTX, which was the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange until CEO Bankman-Fried’s fall from grace in 2022.

John Eastman, architect of Trump’s 2020 election plot, should be disbarred, judge rules

John Eastman

A California judge on Wednesday recommended the disbarment of John Eastman, calling to revoke the law license of one of former President Donald Trump’s top allies in his failed last-ditch gambit to subvert the 2020 election.

Judge Yvette Roland, who presided over months of testimony and argument about the basis of Eastman’s fringe legal theories, ruled that the veteran conservative attorney violated ethics rules — and even potentially criminal law — when he advanced Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results based on weak or discredited claims of fraud.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell faces warehouse eviction, owes $200K in rent

My Piilow guy faces evictionIn October, Lindell's lawyers said he was out of money and unable to pay them for their work on a defamation lawsuit. Last month, Lindell was ordered to pay $5 million to a man who disproved the CEO's claim that China interfered with the 2020 election results. The $1.3 billion defamation case from Dominion Voting Systems stemming from his baseless voter fraud allegations is still ongoing.

Lindell told local media outlet, the Minnesota Reformer, that his financial situation is "fine" and that the warehouse was mainly being used for retail equipment, most of which was auctioned off last year due to retailers dropping the product.

Lindell continues to own and operate a second central warehouse location as well as a retail outlet in Shakopee. He maintains his belief that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.

Key Bridge collapseA massive search effort was underway Tuesday for six construction workers who were on the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore when it was struck by a large cargo vessel and collapsed into the Patapsco River, shutting down a critical artery for East Coast shipping, authorities said.

Around 1:30 a.m. a vessel leaving the Port of Baltimore struck the Key Bridge, causing it to collapse in a matter of seconds. Officials said the crew warned of a power issue and sent out a "mayday" before the collision. Footage of the incident shows the cargo ship smash into one of the columns before the bridge snapped, hit the water and partially fell on the ship, where a burst of flames and smoke could be seen rising into the night sky.
