Query:
My name is Howard Altman. I am researching a story about account
takeover fraud and money laundering for AICPA.org and I hope you
can answer some questions for me.
The basis of this story is the case of Igor Buzyukov and his
account take overs at a FinTech firm. But I am looking to expand
it out to the broader picture of account takeover fraud and
money laundering, who is perpetrating it and what can CFOs do to
mitigate the threat.
https://www.justice.gov/usao-nj/pr/florida-man-admits-laundering-more-9-million-account-takeover-scheme
What can you tell me about Buzyukov and his scheme?
Do you know the names of any of the companies that fell victim?
Who was he working with and is the identity of the people in
Russia, Turkey and Ukraine who received the funds known?
What can you tell me about your role in countering these types
of schemes and how prevalent are they in Europe? Elsewhere?
Who would be most likely to use this type of a scheme to launder
money? DTOs? VTOs? State actors? Why?
In general, what are the initial sources of these funds?
How prevalent are these account takeovers for money laundering
purposes?
The subset of account takeover fraud in this case is known as
"authorized push payments" What are the red flags that CFOs
should know?
What should CFOs know about these schemes, what steps should
they take to avoid them and what steps should they take once one
is discovered?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer. An email
response by Oct. 27 is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Howard Altman

The nonprofit is a great behind-the-scenes story because it
actually sells products, but mostly through bricks-and-mortar
retail - Whole Foods Markets, Disney theme parks, Room & Board,
local specialty shops, etc. Because of this, it was hard hit by
COVID-19.
So we're creating a show where we build up its online store to
increase sales.
One of the biggest things they need right now is traffic for the
nonprofit's site and store.

Query:
A JAMA report will come out Monday finding that the health
outcomes of one person in a relationship may impact the outcomes
of the other.
(here it an outline: Boston, MA -- Risk factors for heart
health, such as smoking, unhealthy diets and minimal physical
activity, may seem personal, but for people who are married or
in a domestic partnership, the behavior patterns of one person
may be strongly linked to the patterns of the other. A new study
led by investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital assessed
cardiovascular risk factors and behaviors of more than 5,000
couples who took part in an employee wellness program offered by
Quest Diagnostics. The team used several metrics to classify
people as having ideal or non-ideal risk factors and behaviors,
finding that in 79 percent of couples, both people fell into the
non-ideal category for cardiovascular health, with most sharing
unhealthy diets and getting inadequate exercise. The findings
point out the potential importance of addressing healthy
behaviors for both people in a relationship. Results are
published in JAMA Network Open.
"We know a lot about cardiovascular risk factors for individuals
but not for couples," said corresponding author Samia Mora, MD,
MHS, of the Brigham Divisions of Preventive Medicine and
Cardiovascular Medicine. "We expected to see some shared risk
factors, but it was a surprise to see that the vast majority of
couples were in a non-ideal category for overall cardiovascular
health."
Mora and colleagues examined data from Quest Diagnostics, which
offered a voluntary health assessment program to its employees.
Researchers analyzed data from 5,364 couples (10,728
individuals) who joined the program between October 2014 and
August 2015. The researchers determined whether each individual
was in the ideal, intermediate, or poor category for each of the
American Heart Association-defined Life's Simple 7 (LS7) risk
factors and behaviors. The LS7 include smoking status, body mass
index, physical activity, healthy diet score, total cholesterol,
blood pressure and fasting glucose. The team also gave each
participant an overall cardiovascular (CV) health score. Data
were collected from questionnaires, examinations and laboratory
tests.
When examined individually, more than half of the participants
were in the ideal category for three LS7 risk factors and
behaviors: smoking status (never smoked), total cholesterol
(<200 mg/dL), and fasting glucose (<100 mg/dL, Table 2). But
more than a quarter of the individuals were in the poor
categories for BMI, physical activity, and CV health score. Only
12 percent of individuals were in the ideal category for CV
health score.
When both people in the couple were considered together, more
than half of couples shared all LS7 risk factors and behaviors
as well as CV health score. When one member of a couple was in
the ideal category, the second member was more likely to be in
the ideal category for all factors except for total cholesterol.
But 79 percent of couples were both in the non-ideal category
for CV health score, largely driven by unhealthy diet and
inadequate exercise. The team did find that when one partner had
quit smoking, lost weight, increased their physical activity or
improved their diet, the other partner was more likely to have
done so. But over the five-year study period, the health of
couples, risk factors and behavior patterns remained relatively
unchanged overall. Apart from modest changes in blood pressure
and fasting glucose, the team found no significant changes in
factors.
The authors note that some of the data in the study comes from
self-reporting, which can be inaccurate, and that the longest
duration for follow up was five years. The study only examined
data for employees who chose to participate in the company's
wellness program, but it was a diverse population. The team
found some variation by ethnicity, socioeconomic status and
geographic location.
"Our data suggest that risk factors and behaviors track together
for couples," said Mora. "Rather than thinking about
interventions for individuals, it may be helpful to think about
interventions for couples or whole families. And it's important
for people to think about how their health and behaviors may
influence the health of the person(s) they are living with.
Improving our own health may help others." )
I am hoping to interview a couple of folks -- see below.
Requirements:
1) It would be interesting to interview a couples therapist
about this: why is this the case and what can couples do to work
toward better health together? When might this backfire, etc.
2) I'd love to interview a primary care internist about this --
is it something they've noticed while treating couples over the
years? How do they -- if at all-- help couples with this ?
3) If there is a person here who turned their health around and
then saw (or is seeing) a positive impact on a significant
other, that would be great too.
SUPER quick turn around-- story runs Tuesday.
THANK YOU ALL!

Query:
I'm working on a story for This New World, HuffPost's enterprise
section focused on exploring solutions to global inequality,
about Norway's wealth tax. I'm exploring what the U.S. can learn
from Norway's existing tax, and am looking into how a wealth tax
in the U.S. could be a tool to address the racial wealth gap,
along with (or in comparison to) reparations.
I'm looking to speak with Black business owners (who either
solely own a business, or do so as part of a couple).
Requirements:
I'm looking to speak with Black business owners (who either
solely own a business, or do so as part of a couple) about how
they might navigate, or benefit from, a wealth tax.
The Norway study found that small business owners invested money
in their firms by hiring more workers to avoid the tax, so I'm
interesting in exploring how this could incentivize job growth
and entrepreneurship, particularly for Americans who've been
historically denied access due to systemic racism.

Name: Chris Elliott The Washington Post

Media Outlet: The Washington Post
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 28 October
Query:
I'm researching an article about trip length. Specifically, is
there a way to take a safe short trip, over a long weekend or a
few days? And is that safer than a longer vacation of one to two
weeks? Many Americans are thinking about spring break and summer
vacations, but have been reluctant to plan a longer vacation
because they think it's unsafe. I'd love to hear from anyone who
has decided to take a shorter trip closer to home. How are you
staying safe? Why did you think a short trip would help you
avoid a COVID or flu infection? Under what circumstances would
you take a longer vacation next year? From medical and travel
experts, I'd love to know if it's safe to take a short trip
during the pandemic. Is a shorter vacation safer, and if so,
why? What kind of misperceptions are there about travel and
safety that absolutely must be cleared up, in your opinion? What
is the best way to stay safe when you travel? How can I avoid
catching COVID while traveling?
Requirements:
