It claimed that his wife, Kelly, hadn't paid about $10,000 in taxes on income from her work on DoorDash. None of them referenced Gardner's actual Social Security number, though all included the last four digits of other people's Social Security numbers. The hack gave the attackers access to Social Security numbers and other personal information about the drivers, the retailer said. Gardner, who had previously used DoorDash as a customer, said she ultimately ignored the 1099s she received. Do you work for DoorDash, Instacart, Walmart Spark, or another gig delivery service and have a story idea?

View shows Sigma Lithium Corp SGML.V production at the Grota do Cirilo mine in Itinga, in Minas Gerais state, Brazil April 18, 2023. That transaction, Gardner's lawyers argued, would grant Sigma mineral rights to valuable lithium deposits and hurt RI-X's ability to develop its own mining project. At the time of the transfer, Gardner owned 49% of RI-X and Cabral-Gardner held 51%, documents show. Sigma shares, which had been up 4% in afternoon trading on Thursday, erased gains to close more than 2% lower after Reuters reported on the court injunction. Sigma declined to comment on the New York lawsuit, and said "the divorce proceedings are a private, personal matter and have no impact on how Sigma Lithium conducts business."

Gardner pepper sprayed Capitol Police and smashed a $2,900 window, according to the DOJ. Before 2020, Gardner was not politically active and voted for Obama twice, his attorneys said. Gardner's attorneys said he voted for Obama "both times" and "did not vote for Donald Trump when he ran for office." It's unclear if Gardner voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 election. After entering the window, Gardner handed another rioter a wooden table leg that they used to attack police, the release says.

At first, she worked 100-hour weeks to pay off her $40,000 student debt and reach financial freedom. This is how Schroeder-Gardner scaled her blog and income streams, as told to Kimanzi Constable. I worked 50 to 60 hours weekly to build the blog on top of working 40 hours a week at my job. The course sold well and my income streams of course sales, affiliate links, sponsored posts, and display advertising on my blog increased with my growing audience. I spend ten hours a week writing posts, making Pinterest graphics, and filtering affiliate and sponsorship offers.
