Some vape store owners are suing

Read full article: Some vape store owners are suing

Vape store owners in both states filed lawsuits requesting preliminary injunctions to put a pause on the statewide bans that halted sales of vaping products. Store owners in the state won a small victory against that ban, however, when a New York appellate court issued a temporary restraining order Thursday. A group of vape store owners submitted a petition for a preliminary injunction on the 4-month product ban, claiming irreparable harm to their businesses and customers. The vape store owners claim that the ban will cause them to lose on average, $4,000-$5,000 per week, per store, and force layoffs workers and eventually close their shops. In addition, the vape store owners said the statewide ban will force their customers to return to smoking cigarettes or obtain unregulated products.

BOSTON - Felicity Huffman will spend 14 days in prison for her role in what authorities have called the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted. Prosecutors had suggested Huffman spend one month in prison and pay a $20,000 fine. Ultimately, Huffman "knew it was a fraud," Judge Indira Talwani said, adding, "it was not an impulsive act." In last week's letter to Talwani, Huffman tried to explain why she felt she had to participate in the scam. "I had no adequate answer for her," Huffman wrote.

Ruling in college admissions scam could reduce prison time

Read full article: Ruling in college admissions scam could reduce prison time

BOSTON - A federal judge's coming ruling in the college admissions scandal could determine whether the wealthy parents in the case get significant prison time -- or whether they only get a slap on the wrist. Federal court Judge Indira Talwani heard arguments on this debate in federal court Tuesday. These parents signed plea deals in which federal prosecutors agreed to recommend they get prison time at the low end of the federal sentencing guidelines range. But in the admissions scam, the fraud losses are more ephemeral, CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said. Fraud cases usually have clear monetary losses that play a role in the sentencing calculations, but that's not clear in the college admissions scam.
