FTC Sends Checks to Nearly 350,000 Victims of Herbalife’s Multi-Level Marketing Scheme Business Blog provides lessons from the FTC’s Herbalife and Vemma cases The Federal Trade Commission is mailing checks to nearly 350,000 people who lost money running Herbalife businesses. The checks are the result of a July 2016 settlement with the FTC that required Herbalife to pay $200 million and fundamentally restructure its business. This represents one of the largest redress distributions the agency has made in any consumer protection action to date. “We are pleased to announce that hundreds of thousands of hard-working consumers victimized by Herbalife’s deceptive earnings claims will receive money back,” said Jessica Rich, Director of the agency’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Along with changes the company will make to its business structure, this is a win for consumers.” The FTC used Herbalife’s records to determine who would receive a refund and the amount of each check....

U.S. Marshals Service officials say 19-year-old Kevin Nall Jr. was taken into custody Tuesday evening in Holbrook. Nall was wanted by police in Altus, Oklahoma.

WASHINGTON, D.C.  - A D.C. Metro transit cop has been charged with providing material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ( ISIS ), officials say. He's the first-ever police officer arrested for allegedly supporting the terror group. Investigators allege the suspect, 36-year-old Nicholas Young of Fairfax, was attempting to transfer "stored value" cards to ISIS overseas. He was arrested Wednesday morning at Metro Transit police headquarters without incident, officials said. According to an affidavit, Young bought nearly $250 in gift cards he intended for ISIS to use to purchase mobile apps that would facilitate communication. But Young actually gave the gift cards to an undercover FBI source. Young had also allegedly been amassing an arsenal of weapons in his home, according to court documents. Young had been on federal security officials' radar for several years, reports CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues. Documents show Young has been under...

Associated Press WINSLOW, AZ - Video from an Arizona police officer's body camera shows the woman he fatally shot in March had medical scissors in her hand. Footage was released Wednesday, days after Winslow Officer Austin Shipley was cleared in the shooting. Shipley was responding to a shoplifting call  when he fired at Loreal Tsingine. In the video, Shipley tries to restrain Tsingine, but she breaks free and falls to the ground. She gets up and walks quickly toward Shipley with the scissors in her right hand, pointed down. The video was silent during the shooting. Police say Tsingine refused commands to stop resisting, get on the ground and drop the scissors. The shooting of the Navajo woman led tribal officials to urge the U.S. Justice Department to investigate the treatment of American Indians.

Perry delivered these remarks on July 27, 2016, at the 43rd annual meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council in Indianapolis, Indiana. I want to spend some time with you today talking about the most pressing issue of our time for people like you and me, for people who share our values, for people all across this state and across this country. No, it’s not the election. Though believe me, I have opinions about that too. But it’s about something that is affecting this election, and will affect much more than this election if we don’t do something about it. When Ronald Reagan left office in 1989, America knew—and the world knew—the value of individual liberty and limited government. Whether you lived in East Berlin, Germany or East Bernard, Texas—whether you were a multi-generation Texan or an immigrant from Vi...
