AP —Baseball star Shohei Ohtani wants his former interpreter to hand over hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of baseball cards he says were fraudulently bought using his money. The legal filing alleges Mizuhara accessed Ohtani’s bank account beginning around November 2021, changing his security protocols so that he could impersonate him to authorize wire transfers. By 2024, Mizuhara had used that money to buy about $325,000 worth of baseball cards at online resellers eBay and Whatnot, according to the court documents. Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter for the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball star Shohei Ohtani, leaves federal court in Santa Ana, California, on June 4, 2024. Earlier this year, Ohtani and the Dodgers won the World Series, and the baseball star won his third Most Valuable Player award.

But while renters face unique affordability challenges, there are still steps they can take to improve their financial standing. Renters generally face financial challenges such as lower income, higher debt, less savings and lower rates of asset ownership, the report noted. Across income levels, renters are less likely than homeowners to own assets including cars, retirement accounts and securities, among others, the report found. Here are some of the financial challenges renter households in three sample income brackets face, according to the Aspen Institute, and ways they can build wealth. A hypothetical family in this category “first needs financial stability to meet the precondition for wealth building,” the Aspen report said.

President Bill Clinton also attempted to reduce federal spending and improve government efficiency with the National Performance Review, led by federal employees. Clinton's panel similarly succeeded in cutting 300,000 federal workers but only managed to get a quarter of proposals that required legislative action through Congress. One senior official at the Commerce Department told BI they anticipate a civil servant brain drain.

☆ Tariff Threats Show Trump’s Commitment to Upending Global Trade
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-26 | by ( Ana Swanson | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

President-elect Donald J. Trump’s threats to impose damaging tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China may ultimately be an opening wager to try to use the power of the American market to persuade other countries to stem a flow of drugs and migrants across U.S. borders. But even if the threat to impose vast tariffs on some of the world’s largest economies is a negotiating tactic, it is also a gambit that has immediate real-world consequences. Before Mr. Trump even sets foot in the Oval Office, his threat to put tariffs on America’s three largest trading partners on his first day in office was reverberating around the world, shocking international businesses, rocking diplomatic relationships and calling into question two big trade deals that Mr. Trump negotiated during his first term. Mr. Trump’s pronouncement late Monday that he would impose a 25 percent tariff on all goods from Canada and Mexico and a 10 percent tariff on products from China was immediately denounced by business groups, who said such a move would cause grave economic harm. Foreign officials rushed to reassure the incoming Trump administration that they had been working to stop drugs and migrants from coming into the United States — while warning that they were also ready to turn around and impose their own tariffs on American exports.

☆ Biden Cuts Intel’s Chip Award
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-26 | by ( Ana Swanson | Tripp Mickle | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

The Biden administration said Tuesday that it would award up to $7.86 billion in direct funding to Intel, with the U.S. chip giant set to receive at least $1 billion of that money before the end of the year. The money is a reduction from Intel’s preliminary award of $8.5 billion, which President Biden announced during a visit to the company’s Arizona plant in March. The Commerce Department said it had reduced Intel’s grant because the chip maker, the biggest recipient of money under the CHIPS Act, also received a $3 billion contract to make semiconductors domestically for the military. But the Commerce Department also detailed in a project document that Intel, which is under financial pressure because of a sales slump, had extended timelines for some projects beyond a 2030 government deadline. It also reduced the estimated jobs it would create in Ohio, where it will require 3,500 fewer employees than the 10,000 it previously estimated, the Commerce Department said.

President-elect Donald J. Trump said on Monday that he would impose a 25 percent tariff on all products coming into the United States from Canada and Mexico on his first day in office, a move that would scramble North American supply chains and impose heavy costs on businesses around the continent. In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump mentioned a caravan of migrants making its way to the United States from Mexico, and said he would levy the tariff by executive order until drugs and migrants stopped coming over the border. “This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!” the president-elect wrote. “Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem,” he added. “We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!”

☆ Can Wall Street Billionaires Deliver on Trump’s Blue-Collar Promise?

When Donald J. Trump first ran for the White House in 2016, his closing campaign advertisement lamented the influence of Wall Street in Washington, flashing ominous images of big banks and the billionaire liberal philanthropist George Soros. Now, as president-elect, Mr. Trump has tapped two denizens of Wall Street to run his economic agenda. Mr. Trump’s choices to lead his economic team show the prominence of billionaire investors in setting an agenda that is supposed to fuel a “blue-collar boom” but that skeptics think will mostly benefit the rich. As Mr. Trump prepares to assume the presidency in January, business owners and investors are closely attuned to which of his economic promises he will ultimately follow through on. The selections of Mr. Bessent and Mr. Lutnick cement a hold by Wall Street executives over the two most important economic posts in any administration.

The Biden administration plans to reduce Intel’s preliminary $8.5 billion federal CHIPS grant, a move that follows the California-based company’s investment delays and broader business struggles. The government’s decision to reduce the size of the grant follows Intel’s move to delay some of its planned investments in chip facilities in Ohio. The company now plans to finish that project by the end of the decade instead of 2025. The chip maker has been under pressure to reduce costs after posting its biggest quarterly loss in the company’s 56-year history. The move by the Biden administration also takes into account Intel’s technology road map and customer demand.

The sweeping tariffs that President-elect Donald J. Trump imposed in his first term on foreign metals, machinery, clothing and other products were intended to have maximum impact around the world. They sought to shutter foreign factories, rework international supply chains and force companies to make big investments in the United States. But for many businesses, the most important consequences of the tariffs, enacted in 2018 and 2019, unfolded just a few blocks from the White House. In the face of pushback from companies reliant on foreign products, the Trump administration set up a process that allowed them to apply for special exemptions. The stakes were high: An exemption could relieve a company of tariffs as high as 25 percent, potentially giving it a big advantage over competitors.

New York City’s congestion pricing program has cleared its last bureaucratic hurdle, and most drivers could soon be paying $9 to enter the busiest parts of Manhattan. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the city’s mass transit network and will oversee the pricing plan, has been granted permission by the Federal Highway Administration to proceed with the tolls as planned, according to M.T.A. Congestion pricing would charge most motorists $9 to enter Manhattan below 60th Street during peak hours, down from the previously approved rate of $15. Although it has received final government approval, congestion pricing could still be undone, even after its start date. President-elect Donald J. Trump has also threatened to stop congestion pricing as one of his first acts in office.
