Claims priority, application Germany July 30, 1953 3 Claims. (Cl. 259-41) The present invention relates to a screw press for the continuous treatment of plastic organic substances and in particular of thermoplastic substances, which press is equipped with one or several screws disposed in a common housing, the latter containing between the front and rear portions of the screw or screws a kneading space.
In such screw presses the output and the kneading and mixing effect depend substantially upon the pitch of the screw and the velocity at which the screw or screws revolve. Depending upon the material to be treated a more or less strong kneading effect is required.
lt is a particular drawback of the known screw presses that a change of the kneading effect can be achieved only by exchanging the kneading shaft carrying the screw against another one of different feeding volume on the output side. This step is not only troublesome and complicated, but requires also a greater stock of different screws for all possible situations, which is rather not economical. lt is also known that screw shafts are very expensive and are made always of non-corroding and non-wearing refined steel. Furthermore, the working of the screw shaft requires high-paid labor. Finally the change of the shaft is time consuming and brings about a comparatively long period in which the machine is out of operation. n
It has been attempted to change the kneading and mixing effect by changing the number of revolutions of the shaft or shafts, without, however, bringing satisfactory results. The substances remain, when such means are used, in the kneading chamber for a longer or shorter period, yet the kneading and mixing effect is not improved to the extent as expected, since the kneading tools operatelikewise slower or faster with the result that the kneading effect is either too weak or too Strong.
it is, therefore, one object of the present invention to provide a screw press which avoids the inherent drawbacks of the known screw presses.
lt is another object of the present invention to provide a screw press which includes at its output side an exchangeable hollow box in the inner face of which the thread of the screw is cut in, which thread in combination with the rear portion of the shaft or shafts of the screw feeds the material from the kneading space into the output head of the machine, the rear portion of the shaft. or shafts of the screw being surrounded by the said box.
The structure of the present invention brings about the advantage that by mere changing of the screw box to one with different feeding volume the treatment of the material is appreciably improved without changing the number of revolutions of the shaft or shafts of the screw and also to assure a completely homogeneous final product which is free from all objections.
There is the further advantage that the change of the boxes may be achieved in appreciably shorter time than the change of the kneading shafts, thereby reducing the period of inoperativeness of the machine.
The provision of a series of exchangeable boxes is also much more economical than a plurality of kneading shafts, since a single set of kneading shafts is normally sufficient. The application of the present device is universal, which amounts to a great simplification for the working process.
With these and other objects in view which will become apparent in the following detailed description, the
present invention will be clearly understood in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is an axial section through a screw press with a screw shaft;
Fig. 2 is a section along the lines 2f-2 of Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is a sectional View through the box with the screw threads in the inner face of the box;
Fig. 4 is an axial section through a second embodiment of the screw press having two screw shafts;
Fig. 5 is a section along the lines 5--5 of Fig. 4; and
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary section along the lines 6 6 of Fig. 4.
Referring now to the drawings and particularly to Figs. 1 to 3, the screw press comprises a cylindrical housing 1 which is formed to a hopper 2 and which is equipped with three annular chambers 3, 4, and 5. These chambers serve the purpose of feeding a liquid heating or cooling medium therethrough, which medium enters through the respective openings 6, 7 and 8 and escapes through the respective openings 9, 1f) and 11. In this manner it is possible to heat or cool the three distinct sections of the housing 1 individually in accordance with the requirements for treating the material. The first section of the housing contains the chamber 14 in which the portion of the kneading shaft 12 carrying the screw threads 13 is disposed. The second section of the housing 1 contains the kneading chamber 15 in which the kneading shaft 12 is formed in known manner as a kneading machine 16. The third section of the housing 1 contains the output chamber i7 in which the material is fed from the kneading chamber 15 to the mouth piece 18.
The housing 1 is closed up at its entrance side by a flange-like cover 19 which is secured to the front face of the housing l by means of screw bolts 20 and which provides a support for the kneading shaft 12 which runs in a ball bearing 21 disposed in the cover 19.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided at the output side of the press a box 22 which finds its seat in the end portion 23 of the housing 1 which has a slightly enlarged bore. The box 22 is equipped with an end flange 24 which serves the purpose to secure the box 22 to the end face of the housing 1 by means of screw bolts 25.
The bore of the box 22 forms the above mentioned output chamber 17 in which the material is fed from the kneading chamber 15 to the mouth piece 1S. The inner face of the box has cut therein for this purpose screw threads 26 (Fig. 3), the head circle of which encloses tightly the cylindrical portion 28 of the kneading shaft 12.
The mouth piece 18 which has an output bore 27 carries an outer thread 29 in order to screw the mouth piece 1S into the inner thread of the bore of the box 22. In this manner the mouth piece 18 may be replaced by other mouth pieces of different structure.
Referring now again to the drawings and in particular to Figs. 4 to 6, the embodiment shown in Fig. 4 is distinguished over the first described embodiment merely by the fact that the housing 1a is equipped to receive two kneading shafts i2 in a known manner. In this case the box 22a has two bores 3f) each of which carries inner thread 31 which engages the rear straight cylindrical portions 28 of the kneading shafts. This second embodiment is otherwise identical in principle with the first embodiment. disclosed in Fig. 1. As clearly shown in Fig. 5, the housing 1a is of oval cross-section in which the kneading bodies 16 rotate in known manner.
It is to be understood, however, that the kneading bodies 16 may assume any suitable form other than the oval form. The kneading shafts 12 may turn in the same direction or in opposite directions. Their threads may mesh or they may engage each other merely at their head circles, whereby such changes in the structure do not take the present device out of the scope of the present invention.
The devices disclosed in the drawings operate in the same manner as the known presses.
While l' have disclosed two embodiments of the present invention, it is to be understood that these embodiments are given by example only and not in a limiting sense,
the scope of the present invention being determined by the objects and the claims.

On Thursday's "The Five," Beckel recounted his near-death experience at a celebratory lunch for the show. "I couldn't breathe at all," he said. "The boss of bosses here at Fox, Roger Ailes, stood up and gave me the Heimlich. He couldn't get his arms all the way around me but he loosened it up enough." Patting co-host Eric Bolling on the back, he continued, "And then my brother here saved my existence because he got it out."
On a lighter note, he advised, "Don't eat too fast. Particularly don't eat big shrimp."
Everyone around the table expressed their relief that Beckel was okay. "You scared the hell out of us," Bolling said.
"Not everyone I know might be as happy," Beckel joked.

Only thing I can possibly give less than five stars is the ease of appointments. It did take a while to get an initial appointment but now that we are a current patient, that has become easier. I get it as well! She is just that good! I love that she addresses our son first and talks with him. This is HIS appointment. She has made herself available for questions and concerns with our treatment plan and just has a very sweet bedside manner. I was hesitant with the treatment plan and she gave me resources to find research and helped me make a decision that was right for us. We have seen wonderful results. Hands down a wonderful physician!
We've seen Dr. Shulman for 10 years and love her. She is patient, informative, and always on the cutting edge. Our son is always at ease with her too.
My daughter has been seeing Dr Dorothy Shulman for over three years and I am certain that her treatment has helped her have an increased quality of life into adulthood. She has amazing credentials and is respected by her peers. We are so thankful for her being our Dr.
Dr. Shulman is the most amazing doctor. She is not only an expert in my son's rare condition but she is also very friendly and very reliable. She has always responded VERY quickly to any concerns I have had over my baby's health. I would recommend her to anyone who has a child in need of an endocrinologist!
Excellent Dr.! You can get some great care in Florida.
my son has been a going to dr shulman for 10 yrs. she is always there to help! i trust dr shulman she is a great doctor!

Good News: The Feds Can't Freeze Your Assets to Stop You from Hiring a Lawyer
There are limits to what the government can take from you. The Supreme Court recently ruled that the Constitution forbids the government from freezing a defendant's "untainted" assets in advance of prosecution. The ruling is a significant victory for those caught in the government's crosshairs. It is also a significant victory for a traditional concept of justice, which prefers to err on the side of the accused over government agents.
In its decision in Luis v. U.S., the high court agreed with a criminal defendant who argued that her Sixth Amendment right to counsel was violated when the government froze assets unrelated to allegedly criminal behavior. Without access to those funds, the defendant would be unable to retain the attorney of her choice.
The Court considered the government's interest in preserving funds to pay restitution and criminal penalties, but concluded that a defendant's right to counsel is "fundamental," outweighing any interest the government mightultimately have: "[The government's] interests are important, but — compared to the right to counsel — they seem to lie somewhat further from the heart of a fair, effective criminal justice system."
In a 5-3 ruling, the Court based its decision on this balancing test, as well as on traditional understandings of common law, which distinguish between assets directly related to alleged criminal behavior and assets considered "innocent" or untainted. The Court found no legal precedent to authorize "unfettered, pretrial forfeiture of the defendant's own 'innocent' property." Moreover, the Court highlighted concerns that the government's position has no obvious stopping point and could erode defendants' right to counsel considerably.
Encroaching on the Sixth Amendment is but one of the several concerns posed by the government's growing love of forfeiture — it has become too handy of a tool in prosecutors' pockets — but it is perhaps the gravest concern, as it threatens an individual's ability to effectively defend him or herself. It puts defendants at a significant disadvantage: they want to obtain the best representation they can afford in order to defend themselves, but they may not be able to afford any if the government freezes all their assets in the hope of confiscating them after a conviction. They may be left begging friends and family to help fund their defense or relying upon overburdened public defenders to represent them. The government's tactic is the courtroom equivalent of inviting an opponent to a boxing match and then tying one hand behind his back.
The criminal defense bar has decried government's overuse of asset forfeiture for years. While the government has argued that pre-trial asset seizure is justified in order to preserve its ability to recover funds and penalties, the process has been used to try to deter behavior by making an example of people. Moreover, pre-trial asset seizure looks a lot like presumed guilt, as opposed to presumed innocence. The occasional constitutionally minded congressional representative has tried to curb forfeiture overuse through legislative initiatives, but these bills keep getting left to die in committees and subcommittees. It is nice to see some effective limits placed on the practice by the Court.
Justice Thomas, in a concurring opinion, took issue with Justice Breyer's opinion "balancing" the state's interest against individuals' constitutional rights. He argued the Sixth Amendment prevents the government from seizing untainted assets, period; there is no need to consider a balancing approach. But at least the plurality of the Court recognized that, when balancing the government's interests in the outcome of a case against the individual's right to adequately defend him or herself, you should err on the side of the individual.
If that means the state sometimes loses out on full satisfaction of a monetary judgment, that is preferable to defendants being prevented from mounting an effective defense. More wrongful convictions would result from that policy, and the seizure of a few more dollars from the truly guilty would be no consolation. If there is any question whether historically we have favored individual rights over the state's interests in criminal prosecutions, look only to the Bill of Rights. Justice demands that if anyone's hand is to be tied in the courtroom, it should be the hand of the government.
Online Poker: A New Way to Bank?
In light of Tax Day (note that it's on the 18th of April this year due to a holiday on the 15th) we want to point out a curious ramification from a federal case concerning online gambling, tax reports, and foreign accounts.
In United States v. Hom [1], the defendant, John C. Hom, was an online poker player who had money in player accounts situated outside America. Accounts such as these are used for depositing funds, wagering them on the site, and withdrawing whatever remains; they are not generally treated as "bank accounts" proper, and Hom did not bother to file a tax return on them. Surprisingly, the court said he should have.
As explained by the court in its decision, an individual is mandated to file an FBAR (a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) for a reporting year if all of these requirements are satisfied:
(1) he or she is a United States person;
(2) he or she has a financial interest in, or signature or other authority over, a bank, securities, or other financial account;
(3) the bank, securities, or other financial account is in a foreign country; and
(4) the aggregate amount in the accounts exceeds $10,000 in U.S. currency at any time during the year.
Id. at 1178.
In Hom's case, three of the requirements were clearly satisfied: the defendant was a U.S. citizen (1), the accounts, like the gaming companies holding them, were located in a foreign country (3), and the aggregate amount in those accounts exceeded $10,000 (4).
Requirement (2) was the sticking point. Could an online poker account really clear the definition of "other financial account," thus compelling Hom to file an FBAR? His team argued that it didn't: the funds weren't held in a bank or securities account and the defendant's actions were limited to making deposits and withdrawals. Strikingly, the court ruled that it was a financial account because "he opened up all three accounts in his name, controlled access to the accounts, deposited money into the accounts, withdrew or transferred money from the accounts to other entities at will, and could carry a balance on the accounts." Id. at 1179. The ability to deposit and withdraw at will sufficed to make the gaming companies "function as institutions engaged in the business of banking. Accordingly, defendant's accounts are reportable even under the current regulations." Id.
This is a very broad expansion of what passes for a financial institution, and it begs the question of how far it can go. For example, are funds in an attorney escrow account, or other escrowed accounts for a foreign transaction, FBAR reportable? After all, they, too, permit the client to make withdrawals and deposits and carry a balance—and possibly even control access.
Hom is only one case; other courts aren't bound by it. However, they could still be influenced by this decision. It is therefore prudent to file an FBAR on gambling accounts located overseas that exceed $10,000. Furthermore, one should wonder whether other courts will borrow this reasoning and apply it to other forms of escrow accounts. These questions are very pertinent in light of the IRS's continuing emphasis on the disclosure of foreign accounts.

Normandie Casino Operator Pleads Guilty to Charges Stemming from Protection of High-Rollers
Despite the old saying "the customer is always right," the law places limits on customer service in the casino industry. Normandie Casino has found this out the hard way. The operator of the casino has agreed to plead guilty to charges that it violated anti-money laundering provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act, according to a Department of Justice press release.
Normandie Casino is one of the few remaining family-owned casinos in the country and one of the original card clubs in California. In the 1980s, the casino expanded its offerings and now features Seven-card Stud, Texas Hold-em, Five-card Draw, Blackjack, Pai Gow Poker, and Super 9, among other games and entertainment.
However, amid all these offerings, it appears the casino failed to consistently observe the banking regulations. Under the Bank Secrecy Act, casinos are required to take measures to prevent criminals from using the casino for money laundering. In particular, casinos must report transactions involving more than $10,000 by any one gambler in a 24-hour period.
Under the agreement with the Department of Justice, Normandie Club, which operates Normandie Casino, has agreed to plead guilty to two felony offenses. In the agreement, Normandie will admit that the casino used independent gambling "promoters" to locate high-rollers. Once the high-rollers were at the casino, high-level employees would help the high-rollers avoid transaction reporting requirements. Normandie would use the name of the promoter on the Currency Transaction Report, rather than the high-roller, and also structure the payments to make them appear to fall under the federal transaction reporting requirements.
Normandie has agreed to pay a $500,000 fine per charge, for a total of $1 million, plus the casino will forfeit the nearly $1.4 million it received in 2013 when failing to file accurate Currency Transaction Reports.
While the casino industry runs on making its customers happy, the casino must also do so within the bounds of the law. Gamblers may seek anonymity, but casinos cannot guarantee this to high-rollers who are making significant transactions.

U.S. Justice Department v. FIFA Executives and Others in Bribery Indictment
In an ironic twist, the U.S. Justice Department unsealed a 47-count indictment this morning charging nine present and former officials of the Federation Internationale de Football Association (better known by its acronym, FIFA) and five sports marketing executives with fraud, racketeering, bribery and money laundering. The guilty pleas of four individuals and two entities relating to these same allegations were also unsealed.
The indictment alleges that officials of FIFA, which controls the media and marketing rights to international soccer tournaments worldwide, received bribes totaling more than $150 million in connection with the award of those rights. The defendants also include sports executives alleged to have paid those bribes, and the indictment also charges that intermediaries were used to launder the proceeds of those bribes. The lead charge in the indictment is an alleged violation of the federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
At the request of U.S. authorities, Swiss authorities arrested a number of individuals in Zurich this morning where FIFA executives had gathered for the organization's annual meeting. The indictment was disclosed along with a Swiss investigation into mismanagement and money laundering associated with the award of the 2018 World Cup to Russia and the 2022 World Cup to Qatar. FIFA has stated that the award of those tournaments will not be reconsidered.
The great irony of the indictment is that this is about football – not "American football" but "real" football (what we Americans call "soccer") – the most popular sport on the planet. From a sports perspective, Americans are still newcomers to the game, though the women's national team has enjoyed perennial success, the men's national team has climbed in world rankings, and individual American players are becoming more commonplace on teams in the English Premier League and elsewhere in Europe. It is surely ironic for the U.S. to police a sport that struggles for attention at home.
But on the other hand, it should be no surprise to see a U.S. indictment that seeks to address corruption in FIFA that has been the stuff of rumors for years. The FIFA indictment is another example of how the United States projects not only military power but legal power overseas, using its robust Justice Department and court system to impose on the world the legal standard enshrined in its criminal laws. Given that the case is being prosecuted in the Eastern District of New York – where now-Attorney General Loretta Lynch previously served as the United States Attorney – the case may also signal something about Attorney General Lynch's approach to such multinational cases.
The Department of Justice presumably justifies this extraterritorial exercise because the defendants include several Americans and because FIFA includes component associations located in the United States; the alleged offenses therefore impact Americans as well as those overseas. To the extent this is true, that seems to be appropriate justification. But another question is how that exercise of power will be perceived outside of the United States. Is the United States helping to solve a problem that has dogged international soccer for years? Or is it meddling in matters that are largely outside of its borders and that should not concern it? As news of this morning's arrests and the unsealing of the indictment spreads, the world's reaction may answer those questions.

What Expats Need to Know Now about their Taxes, FATCA and the IRS
Are you an American abroad living in perpetual fear of the IRS? Do you wake up every morning wondering if today you'll receive a formidable notice that the taxman cometh? You are not alone. Expats around the world are facing (and fearing) the painful reality that the IRS's global tax enforcement effort is underway. While you may want to stick your head in the sand, a brief review of where we are and how we got here may encourage you to confront your IRS situation.
It started in 2010 with the passage of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. FATCA was billed as an effective way to tackle offshore tax evasion. The legislation requires foreign financial institutions (FFIs) to report on U.S. taxpayers' accounts or face hefty withholding penalties on transactions passing through the U.S. Affected institutions include not only banks, but any entities substantially engaged in holding or investing financial assets for others. These institutions are required to comply with the law regardless of conflict with the laws of their home country. That means FFIs have been put in the position of potentially violating local data privacy or bank secrecy laws or getting hit with significant penalties on funds passing through the States.
While the PR for the legislation presented it as an important means to tackle rich and greedy tax cheats, the reality is that FATCA impacts a lot more people than Swiss banking billionaires. The legislation has plenty of repercussions for the seven million plus U.S. citizens living abroad. Suddenly, dual citizens with negligible ties to the U.S. (say, they were born in the States but haven't lived in the U.S. since infancy) realize they are supposed to be reporting their income and assets to the IRS, regardless of foreign location. Many of the unwitting lawbreakers and quiet law deniers have been waiting out the storm, not seeking resolution with the IRS as they think FATCA is not a fixed reality.
There is good reason why some people have hoped FATCA would be repealed, overturned, or perhaps ignored by other countries: (1) the conflicts between local laws and FATCA reporting requirements, (2) the significant costs to FFIs to implement FATCA compliance programs, (3) the unintended consequences to average expats that makes the legislation politically unpopular. The Alliance for the Defense of Canadian Sovereignty launched a legal challenge to FATCA in the Canadian courts. U.S. super lawyer, James Bopp Jr., has helped Republicans Overseas launch a challenge to the law in U.S. courts. And Senator Rand Paul has reintroduced legislation to effectively repeal the law. One would think Senator Paul's efforts should get traction since there is a Republican-controlled Congress and the party has made FATCA repeal a part of the Republican National Committee platform. But power assumed is hard to retract.
Meanwhile, implementation of the law has trudged on. After a few delays, the law took effect July 1, 2014, and reporting has begun. More than 100 countries have entered treaties (intergovernmental agreements) with the U.S. to facilitate reporting and to get around local law conflicts. Countries with data privacy laws have agreed to have FFIs report to local tax authorities who in turn will report to the IRS. Even countries known for bank privacy protection and bank secrecy (like Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Austria) have agreed to comply with FATCA, eliminating secrecy for U.S. taxpayers.
Paving the way for large scale reporting, the IRS recently launched its web application, the International Data Exchange Service (IDES), for FFIs and foreign tax authorities. IDES is supposed to allow these FFIs and tax authorities to submit U.S. taxpayer information efficiently and securely by an encrypted pathway.
With treaties in play, reporting underway, and technological platforms built, the chances of FATCA getting repealed, overturned, or ignored are dissolving. This is especially true as more countries take their cues from FATCA and consider their own global tax enforcement efforts. Moving in this direction, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has issued a new standard to facilitate intergovernmental sharing of financial data.
Expats that are behind on their IRS reporting need to face this fact and bite the bullet before they shoot themselves in the foot. It is important to address options, like whether or how to use the IRS's Online Voluntary Disclosure Program or whether and how to renounce U.S. citizenship (note, you'll still have to pay up for past deficiencies). But the reality is that FATCA is in force and the IRS is invested in ensuring all U.S. taxpayers comply. You may disagree in principle and you may (and perhaps should) advocate for repeal or revision. But in the meantime, find a way to face Uncle Sam.
Court Reins In Prosecutorial Overreach in Insider Trading Cases
In an effort to reinstate powers stripped from them by the Court of Appeals in U.S. v. Newman and Chiasson, prosecutors have sought a rehearing of the landmark Second Circuit decision which severely curtailed the scope of insider trading cases.
The case is one which has already seen a dramatic reversal, so it is perhaps no surprise that prosecutors are hoping for the tide to turn in their favor. In trial court, the jury heard evidence that financial analysts received insider information from sources at two companies, Dell and NVIDIA, disclosing the companies' earnings before those numbers were publicly released. The financial analysts in turn passed that information along to hedge fund traders Todd Newman and Anthony Chiasson, who executed trades in the companies' stock.
Those transactions earned Newman's funds approximately $4 million and Chiasson's funds approximately $68 million. The prosecution charged both defendants with insider trading based on the trades they made with early knowledge of the earnings reports. The trial judge instructed the jury that the defendants could be found guilty if they had knowledge that the information "was originally disclosed by the insider in violation of a duty of confidentiality." On December 12, 2012, the jury returned guilty verdicts for both defendants on all counts.
Newman and Chiasson appealed their convictions, arguing among other things that the prosecution had failed to present evidence that they had engaged in insider trading and that the trial judge improperly instructed the jury as to the level of knowledge required to sustain a conviction. Newman and Chiasson argued that the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt not only that the information was originally disclosed by the insider in violation of the duty of confidentiality, but that the insider disclosed the information in exchange for personal benefit.
The Court of Appeals agreed with their arguments, and found that the government had failed to present sufficient evidence that the insider received any personal benefit from sharing the information, or that Newman and Chiasson had knowledge of any such personal benefit an insider received from sharing the tip.
The Second Circuit's December 10, 2014 opinion clearly lays out the requirements for "tippee liability," that is, liability for one who received a tip originating from a corporate insider:
(1) The corporate insider was entrusted with a fiduciary duty; (2) the corporate insider breached the fiduciary duty by (a) disclosing confidential information to a tippee (b) in exchange for personal benefit; (3) the tippee knew of the tipper's breach, that is, he know the information was confidential and divulged for personal benefit; and (4) the tippee still used that information to trade in a security or tip another individual for personal benefit.
Based on this standard, the Court of Appeals concluded that "without establishing that the tippee knows of the personal benefit received by the insider in exchange for the disclosure, the Government cannot meet its burden of showing that the tippee knew of a breach."
The opinion also issued a stern rebuke of "recent insider trading prosecutions, which are increasingly targeted at remote tippees many levels removed from corporate insiders." This admonition could be fairly interpreted as being directed toward Manhattan United States Attorney Preet Bharara, who has been aggressively prosecuting Wall Street insider trading cases and has obtained approximated 85 convictions so far. Mr. Bharara issued a statement saying that the decision "interprets the securities law in a way that will limit the ability to prosecute people who trade on leaked inside information."
The court has yet to rule on the prosecution's January 23, 2015 request for a rehearing of the case. Until any modification is issued, the Newman ruling remains the controlling law of the Second Circuit and it will affect other cases. Already, at least a dozen criminal defendants in the Southern District of New York have cited to the case in requesting to overturn their conviction or vacate their guilty pleas.
For instance, soon after the Second Circuit issued its ruling in Newman, a federal judge in Manhattan vacated the guilty pleas of four men charged with insider trading related to IBM: Daryl Payton, Thomas Conradt, David Weishaus, and Trent Martin. Instead of bringing the case to trial, the prosecutors instead asked Judge Andrew Carter to dismiss the indictment. However, the prosecutors indicated that if the Newman decision is altered on rehearing or appeal, they might consider bringing the charges again. Appeals of previously convicted defendants will likely remain on hold pending the court's decision on the requested Newman rehearing. Regardless of the outcome on rehearing, the Newman decision is a strong indication that courts are making a concerted effort to rein in prosecutorial overreach.
The World Wide Tax Web: FATCA Data Sharing Goes Online
The IRS has unveiled a secure web application, the International Data Exchange Service (IDES), for cross-border data sharing. IDES will allow Foreign Financial Institutions (FFIs) and tax authorities from other countries to transmit financial data on U.S. taxpayers' accounts, via an encrypted pathway, to the IRS.
The tool is part of the IRS's effort to track U.S. taxpayer income globally. It is intended to assist FFIs and foreign tax authorities in their compliance with the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). The act requires that financial institutions send to the IRS financial information of American account holders or face a hefty 30 percent withholding penalty on all transfers that pass through the U.S. With such steep fines, FFIs and their respective countries across the globe have agreed to comply with FATCA and submit account holder information, regardless of conflicts with their local laws. According to the IRS website, some 112 countries have signed intergovernmental agreements with the U.S., or otherwise reached agreements to comply, and more than 145,000 financial institutions have registered through the FATCA registration system.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen called the portal "the start of a secure system of automated, standardized information exchanges." According to the IRS, IDES will allow senders to encrypt data and it will also encrypt the data pathway. IDES reportedly works through most major web browsers.
It may sound efficient and it may even be secure; but IDES also serves as a reminder of the contradiction between FATCA and data privacy laws of many of the FATCA signatory countries. The conflict is part of why FATCA has earned the billing by many as an extra-ordinary extra-territorial law and an example of American overreach.
Countries like the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Germany have data protection laws that restrict disclosure or transfer of individual's personal information. To accommodate their own laws, these countries have entered agreements with the U.S. whereby FFIs report to their national tax authorities and the tax authorities then share data with the IRS. (The agreements highlight the questionable value to countries of their data protection laws—at least insofar of U.S. account holders are concerned—as they willingly sidestep their policies to avoid U.S. withholding penalties.)
Meanwhile, as FATCA-compliant countries prepare to push data overseas to the U.S., the E.U. is publishing factsheets directed to its citizens indicating that data protection standards will not be part of agreements to improve trade relations with the U.S. The E.U. is also working on more stringent data protection rules for member countries to strengthen online privacy rights. Are the E.U. member countries speaking out of both sides of their mouths? Or are they trying an impossible juggling act? Between the implementation of FATCA reporting and the growing concern of data privacy among FATCA signatory countries, these countries are bound either for intractable conflict or the continued subrogation of the rights of those citizens also designated U.S. taxpayers (an unfortunate result for dual citizens with minimal U.S. ties).
Regardless of ultimate upshot of this conflict, U.S. taxpayers—including those living abroad—should take heed that FATCA reporting is underway. You should consider how to disclose any unreported global income before your bank does it for you.

More Money, More Problems – Another Billion Dollar Settlement for the DOJ
This summer BNP Paribas, one of the five largest banks in the world, agreed to a $9 billion settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice. The settlement figure may seem nothing short of economic shock and awe; indeed it was the largest criminal penalty in U.S. history. What could justify such a staggering fine and was the DoJ too heavy-handed in its tactics against the French-based bank?
The $9 billion figure was not created out of thin air. It correlates to the value of transactions that BNPP helped to push through the U.S. financial system on behalf of Sudanese, Cuban and Iranian interests. These countries have been subject to U.S. sanctions under the U.S. International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The sanctions restrict, among other things, trade and investment activities involving the U.S. financial systems, including processing U.S. dollar transactions through the States. BNPP chose to ignore those sanctions. What's worse, the Statement of Facts that the DoJ published with its press release states that BNPP used cover payments to conceal the transactions it processed through its New York location and other U.S.-based banks. It also removed identifying information about the sanctioned entities and used complicated payment structures in order to prevent the transactions from being blocked when transmitted through the U.S. BNPP helped to finance oil and petrol exports for both Sudan and Iran. And the bank's involvement in Sudan has been instrumental to the country's foreign commerce market. All told, BNPP's actions effectively undermined the U.S. sanctions, opening the U.S. financial system to those countries.
BNPP's actions justify DoJ prosecution as U.S. authorities certainly have jurisdiction over U.S.-based activities. A stiff penalty also seems in order, given the bank's blatant disregard for both the legal violations and their ramifications. The DoJ quotes a May 2007 BNPP Paris executive memorandum: "In a context where the International Community puts pressure to bring an end to the dramatic situation in Darfur, no one would understand why BNP Paribas persists [in Sudan] which could be interpreted as supporting the leaders in place."
But did the DoJ go too far when it imposed $9 billion in sanctions? As of the date of the settlement, the fine more than doubled the enforcement agency's highest criminal penalty on record. (Of course, big settlements with banks are becoming the norm: the DoJ recently settled with Bank of America for $16.5+ billion and with JP Morgan Chase for $13 billion.) The $9 billion penalty may not have had the desired impact of shock and awe the U.S. may have sought. Instead of being perceived as a show of force with a deterrent effect, some of the international community has reacted with disdain. Not surprisingly, this includes the French, who have been quite vocal about their feelings. The French Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, said the fine was an "unfair and unilateral decision." The French Finance Minister Michel Sapin questioned its legality by pointing out that the offending transactions were not illegal under French law.
It is not as though the U.S. is jumping across the pond and punishing a French bank on French soil for activity in France. The actions in question took place through U.S. markets and therefore make U.S. prosecution justifiable. But the French finance minister's statement demonstrates the U.S.'s waning credibility abroad. Sapin did not stop at the BNPP settlement – he went on to question the entire monetary regime based upon the U.S. dollar: "Shouldn't the euro be more important in the global economy?" The U.S. should not ignore this growing antipathy. Nor should we take for granted our economic or political authority. Examples like this settlement, or the largely resented Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, may not be seen as a show of force but rather as an act of bullying. As we throw our weight around, others are considering whether the cost of doing business with us is just too high. If we keep it up, we could find ourselves at a table of one.

FATCA: Trapped by the Land of the Free?
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) has been billed as the U.S.'s bold effort to go after tax dodgers and cheats. The picture painted is that of greedy rich people secreting their fortunes in offshore accounts and away from poor Uncle Sam. But this is not a fair representation of FATCA's impact or reach. Since the law took effect July 31, there is increasing blowback as people of varied means are feeling the repercussions.
One of the most publicized reactions is a lawsuit filed in Canada by two Canadian-American citizens with negligible ties to the U.S. In their suit against the Canadian Attorney General, the plaintiffs contest the validity of the Canada-U.S. agreement to enforce FATCA in their country. The plaintiffs claim that the agreement violates provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and that it undermines the "principle that Canada will not forfeit its sovereignty to a foreign state." The complaint, drafted by notable Canadian attorneys Joseph Arvay and David Gruber, alleges that Canada's enforcement of the U.S. law violates affected people's right to liberty and security by:
– failing to protect them from unreasonable search and seizure, and
– discriminating against them on the grounds of their country of birth.
The plaintiffs, Virginia Hillis and Gwendolyn Louise Deegan, are U.S. citizens through no willful action. They were born in the U.S. but both left the States for Canada when they were five years old. Neither has a U.S. passport and neither has significant contacts with the U.S. They are what you could call "Accidental Americans" – people who happen to be citizens because they were born here but otherwise identify with another country of citizenship. The plaintiffs hardly fit the image of the fancy tax cheats FATCA purports to target.
Here are some examples of people falling under FATCA's umbrella of U.S. tax cheats:
(1) Accidental Americans – dual citizens with nominal ties to the U.S. (e.g., they were born in the U.S.) who have not opted to undertake the tedious and costly process of renouncing citizenship. The group includes others who only recently learned they are U.S. citizens – many thought they effectively renounced citizenship but find themselves repatriated through changes in U.S. law or policy.
(2) Snowbirds – citizens of other countries (generally Canadians) who think they do not face U.S. tax liability because they spend less than 183 days a year in the U.S. The 183-day maximum has been understood by many to be the U.S. tax code's threshold to avoid tax liability. However, they are learning that the threshold is not so straightforward. A "substantial presence test" also factors U.S. presence the year prior and year subsequent to a tax year, reducing the amount of time people can regularly visit in the U.S. without tax penalty.
(3) Non-Americans who have ever worked in the U.S. or appear to have a "substantial" connection to the U.S. Since the law does not fully define what "substantial" means for reporting purposes, lots people are getting swallowed up into compliance and reporting requirements.
But also getting caught up in compliance requirements are Non-Americans who have joint accounts with a U.S. citizen, such as non-American spouses and "at-risk" trusts and investments with no U.S. ties. A recent article by the U.K.'s Telegraph noted that thousands of British families' trusts are being reviewed for possible ties to the U.S. Many of these are run-of-the-mill family trusts. Regardless of outcome the customers are being billed for the review some £200-500 (roughly $300-750).
Compliance costs for the 77,000 + financial institutions worldwide that have signed onto to FATCA enforcement are staggering. It has been estimated that the 30 largest non-U.S. banks alone will be saddled with $7.5 billion related expenses. These costs are going to have to be absorbed by someone… and will invariably be passed on to those institutions' customers in the form of increased fees for products and services.
FATCA is an expensive headache for Americans and non-Americans, financial institutions and foreign governments. It is running roughshod over other countries' privacy laws, banking laws and national sovereignty. While these countries and banks have buckled to U.S. pressure because otherwise they would face 30% penalties on U.S.-generated payments, some may start to consider whether compliance is worth it. As highlighted in the Huffington Post, the Japanese Bankers Association is weighing whether divesting of U.S. assets may make better economic sense. Not only may countries sever their U.S. ties, U.S. citizens are renouncing their citizenship in record numbers. In a sign of poor-sportsmanship, the State Department has recently raised fees for renunciation more 400%, from $450 to $2,350; Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) has introduced a bill to double exit taxes. Who would have figured that the U.S. would become the "Hotel California" from the 1972 Eagles' album: you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.
Financial Regulation, Foreign Proceedings
Bitcoin Equal to Money According to District Court Ruling
Is it possible to commit money laundering with virtual currency? At least one federal judge thinks so. Last month, U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest refused to dismiss a money laundering charge premised on the use of a Bitcoin-based payment system. She is the first federal judge to hold that the federal money laundering statute is broad enough to encompass the use of Bitcoin in financial transactions.
In February 2014, a grand jury in the Southern District of New York returned an indictment charging Ross William Ulbricht on four counts for participation in a narcotics trafficking conspiracy, a continuing criminal enterprise, a computer-hacking conspiracy, and a money-laundering conspiracy. The charges stemmed from Ulbricht's alleged creation and operation of an underground website known as Silk Road. Prosecutors alleged that Ulbricht designed, launched, and administered the online marketplace to facilitate the anonymous sale of illegal drugs, malicious computer software, and other illicit goods and services. Two features of the site allegedly protected buyers and sellers from government surveillance and tracking. First, Silk Road operated using Tor—software and a network that allows for anonymous, untraceable Internet browsing. The site also required all purchases to be made in Bitcoin, an anonymous, untraceable form of payment.
Ulbricht asked the court to dismiss all four counts, including the charge for participation in a money-laundering conspiracy. Ulbricht argued that the money-laundering charge should be dismissed on grounds that Bitcoin transactions are not "financial transactions," as defined under the statute.
The federal money laundering statute prohibits "financial transactions" involving the proceeds of illegal activity when conducted by a person who intends to further the illegal activity or who knows the transaction is designed to conceal material information about the proceeds, such as their source or location. The "financial transaction" requirement may be satisfied by: (i) a transaction involving the movement of funds by wire or other means; (ii) a transaction involving a monetary instrument; or (iii) a transaction involving the transfer of certain types of property. To fall within the second definition, the transaction must involve a "monetary instrument"—i.e., U.S. or foreign coin or currency, checks, money orders, investment securities, or negotiable instruments.
Ulbricht argued for dismissal of the money-laundering charge based on the second definition. Specifically, he contended that Bitcoins do not meet the statutory definition for monetary instruments, so the alleged transactions cannot form the basis for a money-laundering conviction.
But according to Judge Forrest, Ulbricht missed the mark by focusing exclusively on the second definition of "financial transaction." She prefaced her analysis by acknowledging that anonymous financial transactions are not per se criminal. But in Ulbricht's case, Bitcoins were problematic because they were alleged to be the medium of exchange for commercial transactions related to illegal activity—narcotics trafficking and computer hacking. The prosecution had ample support for its claim that Ulbricht chose Bitcoin as Silk Road's exclusive payment system in order to conceal the nature of those transactions.
The court also explained that the government had alleged the necessary elements for a money-laundering conspiracy regardless of whether Bitcoin was deemed to be a "monetary instrument." The statute defines "financial transaction" more broadly to include any transaction involving the movement of funds by wire or otherwise. Bitcoins were deemed to fit this broad definition because they are used as funds to pay directly for things or as a medium of exchange and can be converted into currency which can pay for things. As Judge Forrest noted, "the only value of Bitcoin lies in its ability to pay for things . . . . The money laundering statute is broad enough to encompass the use of Bitcoins in financial transactions. Any other reading would – in light of Bitcoins' sole raison d'etre – be nonsensical."
There is an inescapable irony here. While proponents of Bitcoin favor recognition of the currency as a financial instrument, large operators like Ulbricht argue the opposite.

It's Recipe Redux time again! I feel like I say this every month, but WOW July has really flown by! Seriously, as much as I'm not a fan of the heat, this needs to stop. Yesterday I realized I have about 1 month until another semester of teaching begins, and I'm just not ready for that!
I'm excited for this month's recipe in that it's a different one for me. I don't post a lot of Italian recipes (despite my Italian heritage, doh!) nor do I think I've posted any recipes with meat, since I've essentially been vegetarian since the creation of this blog.
In my latest training update post, I mentioned how my iron was low and I've made some dietary changes and increased my supplementation to work towards building it back up. Essentially for the past month I've been open to trying anything and everything that is a quality source of iron, because my training is important to me and it has NOT been fun feeling exhausted and tired so much. This has included beans, certain types of greens, clams, iron-fortified cereals and pasta, red meat and even liver (yes liver, which I tried for the first time last night...hmmm)

Destruction of railways a national disgrace
Riding ShotgunRACHEL STEWART
Relevant offers
Riding Shotgun
Looking back, from the distance of about 28 years, the infamous Save Rail campaign was a truly momentous act of treachery with far-reaching consequences that are still revealing themselves.
OPINION: Before the 1984 general election, Labour's Richard Prebble travelled the length of the country, vowing to keep rail as a strategic state asset. Sir Robert Muldoon's National government was quite openly readying it for sale.
Prebble conducted his faux campaign by making whistlestop tours through towns where railway workshops were and giving rousing speeches from the back of a streamer-laden guard's van, reminiscent of Harry Truman's presidential campaigning in 1948.
At the time, I was a rookie fireman or, using the new lingo of the time, locomotive assistant, based in Wanganui.
I have a vague memory of hearing the speech he gave at the East Town railway workshop. It was a heartily union-backed affair and every railway worker worth their salt downed tools to listen to our supposed saviour.
Once elected, Prebble became the new Minister of Railways and he simply bent down, picked up the ball and kept running with the neo-liberal reform agenda.
The East Town workshop was defunct by 1986, with the loss of more than 450 jobs - just one of many areas of the country hit by the restructuring.
Has anything really changed and is rail still being deliberately set up to fail today?
History certainly shows that it's been a popular political punching bag, even when it was regarded, like health and education, as a public service.
All nostalgia aside, I have continued to believe, from that day to this, that rail was the one state asset that should never have been messed with.
Almost daily, we continue to see a rail network decimated and bleeding from endless ownership and name changes, lack of infrastructure maintenance, and a new fixation with roads in the face of indisputable peak oil, climate change and population growth.
Just to recap, because it's an even longer-running soap opera than Coronation Street), the state owns what we now call KiwiRail.
Labour bought the rail and ferry assets from private company Toll New Zealand in 2008, having earlier repurchased the network infrastructure back off it for $1.
Fast forward to September this year and KiwiRail announces the loss of 20 per cent of its infrastructure and engineering workforce by the end of this month. This is on top of a growing list of maintenance problems, including tracks in a proven state of disrepair.
Add to the mix the new batch of cheaper, arguably inferior, Chinese locomotives and rolling stock, and the thousands of fungi- ridden sleepers imported from Peru, and it all starts to illustrate a pattern of successive governmental bungling.
Dire and repeated warnings by NZ First of a looming rail disaster are not over the top. As a former locomotive driver, I can safely say that all the warning indicators are there. Let's just hope it's not a fully laden passenger train.
The permanent closure of the Napier-Gisborne line after storm damage has added another layer of taxpayer discontent.
KiwiRail says it's uneconomic to reinstate the line, but that's a short-sighted and short-term view.
It is a whole region which has been cut off at the knees, and which now needs to rely solely on road transport to get goods in and out, and therein lies the rub.
With the current Government's fixation on building new roads comes an ideological blindness to the cost of ever-increasing truck movements and the long-term unsustainability of the roading network.
It's as if rail has become viewed as an old-fashioned and backward- looking transport option. Yet, paradoxically, the new reality is that rail is the future - far more than cars, buses, trucks and aircraft.
Fuel efficiency alone is reason enough, but so is the bonus of lessening the congestion and environmental impact on already clogged roads and airports.
To top it all off, last week it was disclosed that KiwiRail's value has mucked with the Government's projected surplus for 2014-15.
After announcing the restructuring in June, $8.6 billion was written off its value, and $1.4b of the writedown was placed on to the deficit, putting it $800 million over what had been expected.
Years of disrespect and neglect have seen a world-class railway system turned into a national embarrassment. Services continue to close, with the long-established Capital Connection between Palmerston North and Wellington the latest hanging by a thread.
Taranaki's historic Stratford- Okahukuru line, in its later life used as an important alternative route if problems occurred on the main trunk, was mothballed in 2010 after a partial derailment the year before damaged 16 kilometres of the track.
Entrepreneurial thinking is about to see it reopen for a fleet of modified golf carts that will take tourists on an adventure ride through the remote countryside.
The irony is that retirement often means a round of golf. Sadly, this now appears to be true for washed-up old railway lines too.
