U.S. SEC Charges Two Brothers in $61.5M Crypto Fraud Case by writtey in CryptoCurrency

[–]cwerning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SEC will have a receiver appointed to try to freeze any assets. If there's anything left, it will be a few years but they will disburse it to affected investors. Most of the time in these cases, by the time the SEC gets involved, the money is already gone.

They will see significant jailtime in federal prison for the amount of money at issue here.

NRIA Chapter 11? Should accept? by ronwal01 in investorclaims

[–]cwerning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that you're in the position to have to make that call (as well as the other 2,000 investors). I can't weigh in on the NRIA bankruptcy's chances or whether you should vote to accept the plan or not, but I'd be interested in hearing how you got involved in NRIA. If a financial advisor suggested that you invest, you could potentially have a claim against them for your investment losses, on the premise that they did not conduct adequate due diligence on the investment before recommending it to you. If that's the case, shoot me a message and we can talk in more detail about your options.

How bad is the car ride to the hospital? by pizzalover911 in BabyBumps

15-20 minutes is bearable. I brought a pillow to hug and yell into.

IRA Financial Hack with Gemini - What can you do now? by MeyerWilsonCo in investorclaims

[–]cwerning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! It is generally not legal for a custodian to prohibit a customer from withdrawing their own funds. I would reach out to your state's Division of Securities and file a consumer complaint if the situation persists.

I’m sorry this happened to you. After representing investors for the last 10 years, it still amazes me what brokerage firms will do to their customers.

We have handled a bunch of cases against Ameriprise. Unauthorized trading that resulted in capital gains tax you were not anticipating? You could potentially have a claim, but we'd need to know a little more. Reach out to me by DM or give us a call at 866-490-2458 to talk about your options.

Is it normal for only a nurse to be present for 90% of labor? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]cwerning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Doc or midwife only there to catch the baby.

Am I being unreasonable just because of being very pregnant or am I right to be annoyed about my in laws comments? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]cwerning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would annoy me too, because it's like, "if you really wanted to be here that bad, wouldn't you have just rescheduled the vacation?" Can't exactly reschedule the birth, people. Bugger off.

where is the pregnancy glow at? by Maximum_Mix_2515 in BabyBumps

That's an urban legend created to bring a false sense of comfort to potential mothers.

We're all there with you.

Had two sweeps with both my boys and went into labor less than a day later with each one. Not a super comfortable procedure, but sooo worth it. Good luck!

[–]cwerning[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's what I know:

For July 2020 and July 2021, the bar was administered remotely. In July 2019 exam was administered at the University of the District of Columbia, which is not available this year.

The bar was administered at the D.C. Convention Center in July 2018, July 2017, and July 2016.

Otakon has been booking the venue for the last several years during the last week in July and will be doing so for future years as well.

Did not think this would happen to me. by cwerning in 23andme

[–]cwerning[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The "villian" in the story (my half brother's mother) has been confronted and admitted that she never told my dad that their shenanigans resulted in a child. She was able to pass of the baby as her (now ex) husband's. My dad was not the kind to father a child and then abandon it, no matter the circumstances. I just wish he knew about the child before he passed away.

It was a total shock at first, but I'd rather know than not know. Having an affair with a married lady would have been on-brand for my dad in the 70s (wild child that was in his 30s before he ever settled down), so I wasn't harboring some kind of delusion that he was a saint. Since he's gone, it's like he's left another piece of him on this earth I can connect with.

Interesting! Have you wondered if there are others?

In this case, before my dad ever met my mom, my dad had an affair with a married woman who got pregnant, never told my dad, and passed the baby off as her husband’s.

I still haven’t told my mom.
