Attention small businesses.
The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) went into effect on January 1, 2024, to help "prosecute and deter money laundering," to "deter tax fraud," and to deter the peaceful operation of small businesses whose owners don't have time to stay current on every new complex regulation.
Lawyer Lee Phillips said that CTA requires companies to file new sets of paperwork with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) and are essentially being investigated for a crime. Reporting is mandatory. Failure to comply with CTA carries a maximum fine of $500 per day up to $10,000 and criminal penalties, including up to two years in prison.
Simon Black says small businesses are targeted while large, publicly traded companies are specifically exempt from reporting under the CTA. So are hedge funds, banks, and other large financial entities. Heads-up, small business owners.
The FDA has rejected its strongest safety warning for Covid mRNA vaccines despite acknowledging that children were killed by the products.
This news surfaced during a televised Bloomberg interview with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, who said the agency has “no plans” to apply its strongest safety warning to Covid mRNA vaccines.
In that interview, Makary confirmed that the FDA’s own safety and epidemiology centre had formally recommended a boxed warning — a step reserved, under FDA rules, for drugs with “special problems, particularly ones that may lead to death or serious injury.”
