Surety Industry Successful in Fighting False Claims Act Liability - SFAA Supports Effort with Amicus Brief

SFAA

The Surety & Fidelity Association of America (SFAA), a nonprofit, nonpartisan trade association representing all segments of the surety and fidelity industry, hails the Order entered by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia dismissing all claims against Hanover Insurance Company and Hudson Insurance Company under the Federal False Claims Act. In addition, all claims against Centennial and Michael Schendel, the surety agency and the account agent, were also dismissed. In its Amicus Brief, ex rel. Andrew Scollick v. Vijay Narula, et al., SFAA argued Plaintiff claims would result in a novel and precedent-setting theory expanding liability to sureties for False Claims Act violations related to government determinations certifying contractors as minority businesses qualified for set-aside construction contracts. “We are extremely pleased with the court’s Order and were confident the court’s decision would align with the surety industry’s position, resulting in a positive outcome for the defendants, the surety industry, and most importantly, small, disadvantaged, and emerging contractors,” said Julie Alleyne, Vice President, Policy & General Counsel, SFAA. “Any other ruling would certainly have had a detrimental impact on the ability of these contractors to obtain bonding for federal construction projects and for surety companies to provide these essential bonds,” continued Alleyne. SFAA also argued the federal government, and not the surety industry, has the duty and obligation to establish and police contractors the government certifies as disadvantaged business enterprises eligible for set-aside contracts. A decision in favor of the plaintiff would have unfairly and unreasonably expanded sureties’ exposures, thereby limiting sureties’ ability to issue Miller Act surety bonds for set-aside construction contracts. The Surety & Fidelity Association of America (SFAA) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan trade association representing all segments of the surety and fidelity industry. Based in Washington, D.C., SFAA works to promote the value of surety and fidelity bonding by proactively advocating on behalf of its members and stakeholders. The association’s more than 425 member companies write 98 percent of surety and fidelity bonds in the U.S. For more information visit www.surety.org.

Telland Releases First of Its Kind Farmland NFTs on Telos Blockchain

Telos Foundation

The mint is currently underway on Telos EVM providing users with a unique opportunity to own collectable artistic NFTs representing access to yields from 100 square meters of physical land within the Proyecto Ecológico Nuestro Paraíso in the Northwestern region of Piura, Peru, South America. However, the use-case of Telland NFTs goes far beyond simple ownership. These land plots will contribute to the growth of local farmers' sustainable organic produce and a more robust economy in the region. Perpetual Rewards for Holders Users that mint one or more Telland NFTs will receive annual rewards in perpetuity, financially backed by the revenue generated from the South American farmland. Currently there are only 100 NFT parcels of land priced at $150 USD in TLOS tokens each available to mint. The rewards payment breakdown is as follows: Year 1 of ownership - Holder receives minimum guarantee of $30 (20% APR on NFT mint price) Year 2 of ownership - Holder receives a minimum guarantee of $50 (33% APR on NFT mint price) Year 3 of ownership - Holder receives a minimum guarantee of $75 (50% APR on NFT mint price). This minimum continues perpetually from year 3 onwards. The collection debuts at an ideal moment as accumulating land ownership is more challenging for millennials today than at any other time in our history. Furthermore, Telland NFTs offers holders a chance to generate passive revenue from a real-world asset that benefits the environment while omitting painstaking bureaucratic processes and paperwork. Telland is also a participant in the Telos Mission NFT contest, which offers NFT creators a chance to win substantial prize money and acclaim in the NFT community. The contest has over 60 submissions to date and Telland's participation provides yet another opportunity for value increase in the event Telland is announced a winner. Public voting begins on July 23, 2002, on the TaiKai Network. "We chose Telos primarily for two factors: the community and the technology. The vision of the founders of Telos was to create a community around the ideas of service to society and care for the environment. Telland wants to do just that by converting arid lands into farmlands that produce fruits with a high nutritional content that help the well-being of humanity. In terms of technology, the ease of creating and deploying smart contracts in the Telos EVM, the incredible speed and low cost of transactions was such that the decision to build on their network was simple." -Paul Gonzales, Telland Co-founder "Telland is an amazing example of real-world application of NFTs and a glimpse at the future of tokenised land and real estate. At $150 an NFT, these prove to be a very interesting way to gain exposure to the value of real estate. The idea of being able to buy and trade land rights with such ease is magical to anyone who has had the pleasure of making a traditional real estate purchase where the process is incredibly slow (taking 2-4 weeks) and requiring middle men and costly fees" -Justin Giudici, Telos Foundation CEO About Telos Live since 2018, Telos Blockchain (ticker: TLOS) is an ESG compliant Layer 1 smart contract platform that offers full-service compatibility with Solidity, Vyper and Native C++ smart contracts.

FeganScott Announces Investigations into Potentially Deadly Safety Defects Found in Certain Ford and Lincoln Vehicles

FeganScott

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - July 18, 2022 NEW YORK – Today consumer-rights law firm FeganScott announced it has launched two investigations into Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) on behalf of vehicle owners and lessees of 2021 Ford Expedition, 2021 Lincoln Navigator, 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2013-2018 Ford C-Max, 2013-2016 Ford Fusion, 2013-2021 Ford Transit Connect, and 2015-2018 Ford Edge vehicles relating to safety defects placing consumers at risk of injury or death. One of the potential defects, found in 2021 Ford Expeditions and 2021 Lincoln Navigators, can lead to spontaneous engine compartment fires. Ford informed the National Highway Transit Safety Administration (NHTSA) that fires can start while vehicles are in operation or parked with the engine off. Ford has issued a recall for these vehicles, but FeganScott urges drivers to take caution. “What we find particularly troubling is that Ford still hasn’t offered a fix for the problem, rather telling owners to park their vehicles away from structures in case they burst into flames,” said Elizabeth Fegan, managing member of FeganScott. “This is a completely inadequate response to a defect that has significant safety implications to consumers.” In its NHTSA filings, Ford disclosed 16 instances in which the Ford vehicles named in the recall have caught fire. “I am confident that the number of fires is likely higher, but the lack of awareness around the issue accounts for the under-reporting,” Fegan added. Fegan noted that Ford owners who have not had their vehicles combust should also be concerned given the unaddressed risk of future fires, as well as the economic impact of the issue. “We’ve seen this time and time again: the resale value of cars with tarnished safety records can plummet, economically injuring every single vehicle owner.” The firm is also investigating a second safety-related recall of 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2013-2018 Ford C-Max, 2013-2016 Ford Fusion, 2013-2021 Ford Transit Connect, and 2015-2018 Ford Edge vehicles. This defect concerns issues with a transmission cable that can detach, resulting in the vehicle rolling away without warning and leading to dangerous collisions. Indeed, similar rollaway defects have resulted in the death of passengers. “Ford has been aware of the defective components installed in these vehicles for many years yet has failed to timely inform drivers or offer a sufficient remedy,” said Fegan. “Ford must be held accountable for its decisions that place millions of people at risk.” The firm continues to investigate these defects, which may be present in other Ford vehicles and model years. Owners and lessees of the vehicles in question are urged to contact FeganScott at Ford@feganscott.com to learn more about their rights under the law. ### About FeganScott FeganScott is a national class action law firm dedicated to helping victims of consumer fraud, sexual abuse, and discrimination.

Nine More Student-Athletes Join Class-Action Suit Alleging Abuse on the University of San Francisco Baseball Team and Lack of Oversight by USF and the NCAA, Allegations Dating Back More Than 20 years

FeganScott

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 15, 2022 SAN FRANCISCO – (July 15, 2022) Today, nine former University of San Francisco (USF) baseball players joined the class action lawsuit filed in March 2022 against their two (now former) baseball coaches, USF, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The players allege that USF coaches Anthony Giarratano and Troy Nakamura created an intolerable sexualized environment on the team over the course of 22 years, that USF knew about their misconduct and did nothing to stop it, and that the NCAA has inadequate policies in place to protect student-athletes from such abuse or prevent coaches from moving on to another member institution with impunity. The amended complaint includes the claims brought by the original three plaintiffs. It provides vivid details of an environment rife with emotional abuse and highly sexualized behavior, with the earliest allegations dating back to 1999 -- Giarratano’s first year as coach. The original complaint was filed on March 11, 2022, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. Since the filing, Giarratano and Nakamura have been fired, and USF athletic director, Joan McDermott, has left her position. “Since we filed this case on behalf of three young student-athletes who had the courage to stand up and share their horrific experiences at USF, we’ve been contacted by many former USF baseball players who share similar stories of crippling emotional abuse and perverse sexual behavior by the USF coaches,” said Elizabeth Fegan, founding partner of FeganScott, and one of the attorneys representing the students. “These experiences clearly illustrate why USF and the NCAA should be held accountable for abuse by coaches.” According to Fegan, the intent of the suit is to force the school to adopt and implement best practices to prevent future occurrences and to compensate the young men for the harm they suffered at the hands of the coaches. “These nine new plaintiffs — who played baseball at USF going back to the very beginning of Giarratano and Nakamura’s coaching tenure — establish that this was not a one-off, one day, one player, or one season incident,” said Jonathan Selbin, a senior partner at Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, who has led the firm’s litigation against the University of Southern California and the University of Michigan involving sexual abuse of students and serves as co-counsel on the present suit. “It was a two-decade period during which the coaches created a pervasive and intolerable sexualized environment that did lasting damage to these young players, that USF did nothing to stop despite its knowledge, and for which the NCAA had and has inadequate policies in place to address or prevent it from recurring.” “The reality is that the University of San Francisco has an abysmal record in safeguarding students,” Fegan added. “The deplorable case involving the baseball team comes on the heels of similar allegations involving both the men’s soccer program and the women’s basketball program.” “We are forced to use the civil court system to require the Jesuit school to make the changes it won’t make on its own,” she added. The complaint also challenges the NCAA’s refusal to take meaningful steps to create penalties for sexual, violent, or criminal conduct by coaches or personnel in their athletics programs. While the NCAA freely metes out punishments for student-athletes for poor academic performance and disciplines athletes for profiting off their own likenesses, the NCAA’s bylaws do not contain any penalties for sexual, violent, or criminal conduct by coaches or personnel in their athletics programs. According to the complaint, the NCAA has taken no action in the two decades since the NCAA adopted a coaching code of ethics in 1992, which prohibits sexual harassment and sexual relationships between coaches and athletes. The complaint also cites the NCAA’s failure to track instances of abuse to prevent coaches from moving to different schools. With over 140 pages, the complaint also cites repeated instances in which USF coaches used emotional abuse to force players to leave the team, often forced to walk away from guaranteed scholarships worth as much as $280,000. "Our investigation has revealed that the coaches would routinely berate players with profanity-laced, sexualized screeds intended to humiliate and intimidate them, often in front of other players or fans,” said Fegan. “The intent was clear, to get the kids to quit, freeing up scholarships the coaches could dangle in front of other prospects, and the data supports this conclusion.” According to the complaint of the 13 recruits in the 2017 USF class, only five stayed for four years. Of the 17 recruits in 2020, eight have transferred, and two are planning to, giving the team a 60% transfer rate compared to a national average of just 2%. “Many of the student-athletes we represent are dealing with severe trauma, depression and other health issues stemming from the horrific sexualized abuse and bullying Giarratano and Nakamura put them through,” said Fegan. “These impressionable young men looked forward to a bright future playing college baseball with the training and mentorship they were promised. Instead, the coaches tasked with guiding and teaching them, abused and scarred them. These experiences at USF are an example of what happens when the NCAA is allowed to refuse responsibility.” For more information visit www.feganscott.com ### About FeganScott FeganScott is a national class-action law firm dedicated to helping victims of sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
