What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNew Mexico's attorney general filed a civil lawsuit today against Jeffrey Epstein's longtime attorney, Darren Indyke, and his accountant, Richard Kahn, accusing them of facilitating and concealing his crimes.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe suit asks a judge to block both men from estate payments while the case proceeds.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAttorney General Raúl Torrez said, quote, none of this could be done by just one man. Indyke and Kahn have denied any knowledge or participation.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIn other news, Meta has been ordered to pay twenty-five billion dollars for deceiving users about their privacy, in a case brought by New Mexico.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwenty-five billion. And the jury counted more than forty-three million violations, so somebody at Meta had a very long afternoon.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe state was originally awarded two hundred nineteen point five billion dollars before it was reduced, so really, it's a discount.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwenty-six of twenty-nine statements were found misleading. The other three were presumably the terms and conditions.
