In some instances, Furlow-Smiles had Facebook pay people who did not give her kickbacks, in one case directing $10,000 to an artist for specialty portraits, and more than $18,000 to a preschool for tuition, prosecutors said. As part of the scheme, Furlow-Smiles linked PayPal, Venmo and Cash App accounts to her Facebook credit cards and used those accounts to pay friends, relatives and other associates for goods and services purportedly provided to Facebook. Furlow-Smiles, who was not Facebook's top DEI executive, pled guilty in Atlanta federal court on Monday.

If the case turns into a child support battle, Musk would be better off if it plays out in Texas. The jurisdiction will come down to who can prove where the kids actually live, Texas or California. It's unclear what either party's ultimate goal is, whether it is related to physical custody, legal custody, child support, or some other issue. Texas caps monthly child support payments at $1,840 for one child, or $2,760 for three children, which is how many Musk and Grimes share. Many factors go into calculating child support payments in California, including net disposable income, but it ultimately comes down to the judge to decide.
