Reuters: Capital One must face social media creators’ lawsuit alleging stolen commissions. “Capital One must face a lawsuit by social media creators who said the bank’s free browser extension stole their sales commissions when consumers bought their products and services. In a Monday night decision, U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga in Alexandria, Virginia said creators plausibly alleged […]
As of May 18 the acquisition of #Discover by #CapitalOne is officially complete.
Cap1 claims this will be a big win for consumers. Feel free to point me to a single example in history where consolidation in a huge market with only a few major players was beneficial for consumers.
Cap1 wanted Discover's merchant network, and now that they have it, they'll leverage it to extract more profit from merchants and consumers.

Awww, look at Capital One trying to reinvent the wheel by merging with Discover—what could possibly go wrong? 😂 Instead of explaining the #merger, they're too busy freaking out over your 'ancient' browser and nagging you to enable #JavaScript. 🚀 Welcome to 1999, folks!

Found my card, called the number on the back and that first call was genuine.
I'll not be using Capital One again.

#Banking #Outage Leaves Customers Without Account Access
Updated: May 2, 2025 By Robert Farrington
Excerpt:
"Banking Grinds To A Halt
"#Fiserv supplies the infrastructure behind many major financial institutions’ digital platforms. When its systems fail, the effects cascade quickly across the financial ecosystem.
"Banks affected include major players such as #Ally, #BankOfAmerica, #TDBank, #CapitalOne, #Synchrony, and #CitizensBank, as well as #RegionalBanks and local institutions like #NorthwestBank, #SunflowerBank, and #FarmersNationalBank in Ohio. #CreditUnions such as Navy Federal. Even money transfer service #Zelle appears to be impacted.
"Customers have reported a range of issues: locked accounts, unavailable balances, non-functioning transfers, and missed direct deposits.
"One IT staffer at a bank impacted by the outage shared on Reddit, 'It's been a nightmare. ACH files, Zelle, BillPay, and more have all been impacted.'
"Fiserv has not confirmed what the cause of the incident is. According to reports, the outage allegedly appears to have originated from problems with its core processing software (DNA) and related services like Nautilus (document and content management) and Payment Exchange (real-time transfers).
"While some functionality has returned for select services, many banks are still experiencing intermittent issues as of Friday afternoon.
"We reached out to Fiserv for comment but as of publication had not heard back. As of now, Fiserv has not released a public timeline for full restoration or details of the cause of the incident.
"This incident is more than just an inconvenience - it highlights how fragile the digital banking experience can be when so many institutions rely on a single vendor.
"Fiserv supports everything from transaction processing to statement delivery. When one system fails, it's not just a front-end website that goes dark. Payments don’t go through. Payroll deposits don’t arrive. Consumers lose access to their money."

#OnlineBanking update. Datacenter incident, eh? Does that mean someone hit a switch, or was it a #CyberAttack ?

NEW YORK (PIX11) — "Hundreds of customers with TD Bank, Zelle and multiple other banks reported issues with logging into their accounts and sending payments on Friday morning, according to DownDetector.
"Some of the other banks in which customers reported having issues on DownDetector were #NBTBank, #FlagstarBank, #CadenceBank, #WebsterBank, #ParkNationalBank and #NorthwestBank.
"By 8 a.m. almost 800 people reported issues with TD Bank and Zelle with reports continuing to rise. By 10 a.m. users began reporting similar issues with services such as #AllyBank, #ProsperityBank, #BankOfAmerica, #NavyFederalCreditUnion, #CapitalOne and #Santander.
"Representatives for Webster Bank and Zelle told PIX11 News that multiple banks appeared to be experiencing issues due to a third-party vendor. [As I surmised...]
“A third party vendor is experiencing a datacenter incident that is impacting Webster and other banks. We are working diligently with our vendor to resolve any technology access issues our clients may be experiencing as quickly as possible,” the Webster Bank representative said. "

While its certainly true that part of why so much of the US mainstream establishment, particularly in the private sector, is willing to collaborate openly with the fascist Trump regime is because they prefer fascism to sharing, it's also true that there are clear material benefits to legitimizing and supporting the Trumpenreich regime. In what reasonable people would describe as "open corruption," Federal Election Commission data shows that the administration has dropped or frozen federal enforcement cases against "at least 17 corporations that donated to the president's inaugural fund."
https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-corporations-inauguration
'See How This Works?': Trump Drops Cases Against Corporations That Funded His Inauguration
"Public Citizen found that corporations facing federal investigations or enforcement lawsuits donated a combined $50 million to President Donald Trump's inaugural committee. Trump raised a record sum of $239 million for his second inauguration, the new FEC filings show.
"Corporations facing federal lawsuits and investigations aren't giving millions to Trump's inauguration out of the kindness of their hearts," said Public Citizen researcher Rick Claypool. "They are trying to buy good will. And when you're a corporation under investigation or facing prosecution, that means the government dropping enforcement actions against you. In some cases, it may even mean receiving pardons in cases in which guilty pleas have already been entered, or retractions of settlements already entered into."
Bank of America, Capital One, Coinbase, DuPont, and JPMorgan are among the corporations that donated to Trump's inauguration and subsequently had federal enforcement cases dismissed.
Public Citizen noted that Google, which donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural committee, could benefit from the Trump Justice Department's decision during an ongoing antitrust case to scrap part of a "proposed breakup plan requiring Google to sell off AI businesses."
As the article notes, dropped federal enforcement cases against corporations that paid millions to kiss the ring at the Klepto Kaiser's inauguration isn't the only way large corporate actors like Apple, Google, and Coinbase have directly benefited from fascist collaboration. Apple in particular must be delighted with Trump's decision to exempt most of its imports from his absurd tariffs; which seems like a ridiculously good return on its investment of a million dollars for Der Leader's inauguration. Finally, while I personally don't care that much about the regime's decision to monetize the Easter Egg Roll by accepting corporate sponsors, it does speak to the crass levels of greed and corruption the administration and its lawless president are willing to engage in.
On some level I understand that right now it's hard to care that much about bog standard open corruption between the Trump regime and corporate actors happy to normalize and facilitate fascism for five points a share. The Pork Reich is snatching protestors off the street, fighting a war that doesn't exist against a gang that isn't invading us while trafficking migrants to a torture prison in El Salvador, and Elon Musk is firing thousands of federal workers in a scheme to pay for billionaire tax cuts that will absolutely get people killed. There's a lot going on, and "rich capitalists are doing something terrible for their own financial benefit" almost doesn't rate as "news" in an environment like the one we're living in.
The fact is however, it's precisely because of all the other evil fascist shit is going on that private sector collaboration with the Trump regime is such an important story. As I've explained elsewhere: fascism costs American society a horrifying toll both financially and in terms of human suffering, but the installation and operation of a fascist regime can be quite profitable for some. These companies, many of whom also contribute to Republican election funds and political action committees, absolutely know what Trump is and what he means to do because Downmarket Mussolini and his minions say the quiet parts out loud on the regular. They just don't give a fuck, and are happy to help a fascist government normalize its authoritarian activities and odious ideology by touting the support they receive from respected American corporations; as long as doing so pays off on their bottom line.
There are many reasons for the rise of a successful fascist movement in an America that has always embraced what today we recognize as fascist ideology; trying to pin it down to one specific factor is a fool's errand. But if and when the history of this era is written, I'm willing to bet that rampant greed and a ruling class that lusts for power over the rest of us will rank pretty highly on the list of contributing factors to this political moment.

We joined #BJsWholesaleClub recently & I saw they have a credit card offering 5% back on BJs purchases. Great. Put an application in, got a notification from #CapitalOne that I need to unfreeze *all 3* credit bureau accounts. All 3! I called them, told them to kick rocks when they asked for my SSN, then asked if unfreezing all 3 is really necessary given I’ve been a CapitalOne customer for roughly 20 years.
Yep. AND I need to call them back afterward to finish the application.
🖕🏼 CapitalOne
The federal government "have given the green light for the merger between Capital One and Discover, effectively creating the eighth-largest bank entity in the United States. This merger ... will establish the largest U.S. credit card issuer by balances and grant Capital One control over Discover's expansive card payment network."
"Discover's interim CEO, Michael Shepherd, lauded the deal for *enhancing competition*, expanding product offerings, boosting innovation, and providing *community benefits*."
😂 Why do they say crap like this when it's plainly the opposite? Would it be so hard to just give a bland "We're excited for the opportunities in this new chapter," synergy, blah blah?
Mike, buddy, the merger process is over - so you can take a break from lying now. Life is short. Just enjoy your pile of money that probably exceeds the lifetime savings of 1,000 nurses.

Ninth Circuit Reverses Probation Sentence for Paige Thompson: https://reason.com/volokh/2025/03/18/ninth-circuit-reverses-probation-sentence-for-transgender-hacker/
As with the recent case involving Conor Brian Fitzpatrick (aka "Pompompurin"), the appellate court found that the district court's time-served plus probation sentence for Paige Thompson was too significant a departure from federal sentencing guidelines. Although the court could properly consider factors such as being transgender and autistic, they shouldn't have ignored other sentencing factors so much.
