During the company's earnings call with Wall Street analysts later Monday, executives said that the EEOC investigation was now behind them and would no longer be a distraction. "Because of limited resources, we cannot file a lawsuit in every case where we find discrimination," the EEOC explains on its website. It's unclear if the question of whether to sue Bowlero made it to a vote with the EEOC's commissioners. He told CNBC he plans to sue Bowlero for $80 million, plus legal fees. In response, Bowlero's attorneys Alex Spiro and Hope Skibitsky at law firm Quinn Emanuel said they "are pleased with the outcome of the EEOC investigation."

Just as the offseason kicked off in mid February, Durde was hired to become the Seattle Seahawks’ new defensive coordinator, becoming the first British coordinator in NFL history.

He spent three seasons as part of the Falcons’ defensive coaching staff, working across a number of roles under head coach Dan Quinn. His permanent hiring in 2018 meant Durde became the first British full-time coach in NFL history. Under Durde’s stewardship, Dallas’ defensive line developed into one of the most feared in the league, in particular star linebacker Micah Parsons.

Lawyers also revealed that the trade earned Jane Street $1 billion last year and was on pace to earn even more for the firm this year. Jane Street worried about extinguishing the trade's viability, Brown said, intentionally leaving short-term profits on the table to maintain its long-term viability. But the company's profits from the strategy plummeted in the month after the traders joined Millennium, Jane Street says, falling 50% in March. Engelmayer denied the temporary restraining order, saying Jane Street did not establish irreparable harm. Jane Street may believe irreversible harm has already taken place, given its desire to keep details of the trade secret, including the country it operates in.

CNN —HSBC has agreed to sell its business in Argentina to Grupo Financiero Galicia, the largest private financial group in the country, for $550 million, the UK-based bank said on Tuesday. The sale is expected to lead to a $1 billion pre-tax loss for HSBC in the first quarter of this year, the statement added. “HSBC Argentina is largely a domestically focused business, with limited connectivity to the rest of our international network,” Quinn said, adding that the unit “generates substantial earnings volatility” for the bank. “Galicia is better placed to invest in and grow the business,” he said. The bank, Europe’s biggest by market value, reported a big drop in quarterly profit in February, partly because of its exposure to China’s troubled real estate industry.

The Tesla Inc. logo is captured on a sign of one of its shops in Zurich on Nov. 13, 2023. Tesla and the employee, Kyle Kaszuba, must pay more than $42 million in damages to the victim, Christopher Dugan, a Marion County jury said in a Wednesday verdict. The jury found that Dugan was 30% liable for the crash, reducing the award from $60 million to $42 million. The crash occurred while Kaszuba was operating a 2014 Ford vehicle owned by Tesla either with the permission of Tesla or while working in his capacity as a Tesla employee, Dugan alleged in his initial complaint. The gas station near where the crash occurred is located just outside of a ramp to I-465, the ring road that encircles Indianapolis.
