☆ O. J. Simpson, el atleta cuyo juicio cautivó la atención de EE. UU., muere a los 76 años

O. J. Simpson, que saltó a la fama en los campos de fútbol americano, hizo fortuna en el cine, publicidad y televisión con un personaje de típico estadounidense negro, y fue absuelto de los cargos de asesinato de su exesposa y un amigo en un juicio celebrado en 1995 en Los Ángeles que cautivó al país, murió el miércoles. Un jurado en el juicio por asesinato, que mostró un espejo agrietado de un Estados Unidos blanco y negro, absolvió a Simpson, pero el caso arruinó su mundo. Pagó poco de la deuda, se mudó a Florida y luchó por rehacer su vida, criar a sus hijos y mantenerse alejado de los problemas. En 2006, vendió el manuscrito de un libro, If I Did It, y una posible entrevista televisiva, en la que relataría “hipotéticamente” los asesinatos que siempre había negado haber cometido. Una protesta pública puso fin a ambos proyectos, pero la familia de Goldman obtuvo los derechos del libro, añadió material en el que imputaba la culpa a Simpson y lo publicó.

The center’s clinical director, Dr. Emilio Amigo, waved at me once I got inside. Behind a closed door I heard the voices of his clients — autistic young adults from mostly working- and middle-class central Ohio families — boisterously chatting about their Friday night plans. I was there to talk about “How to Dance in Ohio,” a new Broadway musical that features Dr. Amigo and seven of his autistic clients as characters. In a room filled with board games and framed illustrations of rainbow-bright robots, I met Tommy Van Atta. Van Atta, 28, who has the frame of a linebacker, paused for a few seconds, then spoke softly.

☆ Subprime lender Amigo to wind down after failing to raise funds

LONDON, March 23 (Reuters) - British subprime lender Amigo Holdings plc (AMGO.L) said on Thursday it would wind down after failing to secure adequate investor interest in a crucial capital raising, ending months of efforts to restructure its ailing business. The loan book will continue to be collected during the wind-down phase and employees will continue to be paid, the company said. Amigo has been scrambling to survive after struggling to cope with the cost of compensating customers for missold loans. Shares have collapsed 99% from a high of 315 pence shortly after a 2018 IPO valuing it at 1.3 billion pounds.

☆ Morning Bid: Bond blows batter banks as SVB cracks

SVB may be an unusual case in point - given its exposure to both last year's attrition in the tech sector, related startups and bond markets. Major U.S. banks were also hit, with Wells Fargo (WFC.N) down 6%, JPMorgan (JPM.N) down 5.4%, Bank of America (BAC.N) 6% lower and Citigroup (C.N) 4% lower. In currency markets, the dollar held the line on Friday in its lonely easy monetary policy stance. The BOJ held off making changes to its controversial bond yield cap policy, leaving all options open ahead of a leadership transition in April.
