Even as more employers signal an end to remote work, tech startups and their investors are betting that it is here to stay, offering a range of digital tools designed to support a permanent workforce outside of the office. “Investors are super-pumped on remote,” Mr. Salam said. “Remote work is a durable phenomenon,” said Ravi Gupta, a partner at Sequoia who led the firm’s investment in Remote.

A bankruptcy judge declined to grant Celsius Network LLC shareholders an official committee to battle the company’s customers over assets in chapter 11, finding no strong likelihood that equity holders will recoup any of their investments in the business. Equity holders including CDP Investissements Inc. and WestCap Management LLC, which together led a $400 million investment round in Celsius last year, failed to show a substantial likelihood the cryptocurrency lender is still solvent after its chapter 11 filing, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn ruled Monday. The investors had sought official status in the chapter 11 case, which would have allowed them to bill their legal fees to the bankruptcy estate.

Turkey’s worst mine disaster was in 2014, when 301 people died in a fire inside a coal mine in the town of Soma, in western Turkey.

☆ Indian refiners pay dollars for Russian oil after dirham attempts fail
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-28 | by ( Nidhi Verma | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

Traders supplying Russian oil in July had asked at least two Indian companies to settle in dirham. An invoice from one of the refiners seen by Reuters showed oil payments were calculated in dollars while payment was requested in dirhams. The three sources said the dirham payments did not go through because Mashreq declined to facilitate the trade. The U.S. Treasury, Mashreq Bank and Gazprombank did not immediately respond to requests for comment. That provided Indian refiners, which rarely bought Russian oil due to high freight costs, an opportunity to snap up exports at hefty discounts to Brent and Middle East staples.
