Keep in mind that Judicial Review (deciding if laws are constitutional or not) isn't even a constitutional power. It's one the court gave itself in Marbury v. Madison.

Guess I didn't realize it's hitting humans on Long Island pretty well.

"... is now recovering at home ... is expected to make a full recovery ..."

To save you a click. (There's not much more in the article.)

Unfortunately, the article doesn't mention where he got it. Was he visiting some lab or did he get bit someplace some locals should be taking precautions?

(He's retired, but I don't know if he still has a presence in the industry or not, giving talks and doing visits.)

My guess would be that they needed to get a mid-point between existing photos of the guy whose identity they stole and the guy that would show up in the video interviews.

Are you sure that's not 7931 you're looking at?

I assume what's worse with the 300M scenario is that he still owes the other parties the 1.5B. Since the collateral is now gone, those parties will immediately demand full payment. So he'll be forced to sell other properties to pay those debts, and it's a cascade of a whole other set dominos of fire sales.

I could be wrong, but "capital gains" to me means only on the increase in value. So if they bought the house for $200k, they would be paying tax only on the $300k.

It's a huge opening to get sued. So you could lose millions, but it'll never make you a cent. So most are advised to just confirm very basic information like how long the employee worked there.
