  1. A quotation from The Bible

    Finally, stick to the advice your own heart gives you,
       no one can be truer to you than that;
    since a man’s soul often forewarns him better
       than seven watchmen perched on a watchtower.
     
    [καὶ βουλὴν καρδίας στῆσον,
       οὐ γὰρ ἔστιν σοι πιστότερος αὐτῆς·
    ψυχὴ γὰρ ἀνδρὸς ἀπαγγέλλειν ἐνίοτε εἴωθεν
       ἢ ἑπτὰ σκοποὶ ἐπὶ μετεώρου καθήμενοι ἐπὶ σκοπῆς.]

    The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
    Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 37:13ff (Sir 37:13–14) [JB (1966)]

  2. A #Venezuelan govt controlled bank in #Miami was embattled in a #shareholder court case with #political implications that challenged directors of the #banking empire connected to the #Maduro regime. A #jury found on June 27 that two directors breached their fiduciary duty of care to the bank and hit them with a fine, but a fraction of the $27 million sought by #litigants. “The jury only awarded damages amounting to less than 3% of what the plaintiffs were seeking—$800,000, instead of the $27 million requested at trial. That’s essentially a slap on the wrist from the jury,” said defense #counsel Evan Stroman, a partner at #DiazReus.

    “Any day where you help prevent an illegal authoritarian regime in #Venezuela from penetrating the United States banking system and hold those accountable for assisting that regime is a good day,” Derek E. León, the #plaintiffs' attorney, said.

  7. #Sadow, whose website describes him as a “special #counsel for white collar & high-profile defense,” is well known in #Atlanta #legal circles. His prominent clients include rap artists Rick Ross & T.I., singer Usher & former NFL player Ray Lewis.
