A former Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) executive has accused the company and CEO Mark Zuckerberg of going to extraordinary lengths—including enabling censorship and offering data access—to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/07/33097839/mark-zuckerbergs-chants-against-china-proves-costly-for-his-metaverse-ambitions-in-country">gain a foothold in China</a>.
What Happened: In a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35867623/meta-whistleblower-alleges-that-his-repeated-warnings-to-mark-zuckerberg-about-teen-safety-issues-on">whistleblower complaint</a> filed with the SEC in April, Sarah Wynn-Williams, Meta's former global policy director for China, made these allegations.
She stated that the company, formerly Facebook, developed a China-specific censorship system in 2015 and proposed installing a "chief editor" to manage and potentially shut down content during periods of social unrest.
The 78-page whistleblower complaint, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/03/09/meta-china-censorship-facebook-mark-zuckerberg/">reviewed</a> by The Washington Post, claims Meta was prepared to give the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) oversight of all Facebook content in China and store user data locally—making it more accessible to government surveillance.

"One of the top priorities for President Trump is the West winning this [AI] critical race and yet for many years Meta has been working hand in glove with the Chinese Communist Party, briefing them on the latest technological developments and lying about it," stated Wynn-Williams.
In a response to the publication, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said that the company "ultimately opted not to go through with the ideas we'd explored," and that this was "widely reported beginning a decade ago."
Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It's Important: The complaint underscores long-running concerns about Big Tech's willingness to compromise on free expression and privacy in pursuit of market access.
Earlier this year in January, Meta agreed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/01/43325503/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-pays-trump-25-million-to-settle-lawsuit-over-facebook-instagram-ban-after-jan-6-riot-a-big-year-for-redefining-our-relationships-with-governments">$25 million settlement</a> with President Donald Trump over his suspension from Facebook and Instagram. Trump's 2021 lawsuit alleged that Meta and other tech companies engaged in improper censorship.
Since the beginning of the year, Meta has reportedly modified its products and policies in line with Trump&#8217;s political stance and directives. Meta&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42960291/metas-content-moderation-changes-alarm-advertisers-as-zuckerberg-aligns-with-trump-and-musk">content moderation updates</a> have also raised concerns among advertisers.
Last month, Zuckerberg visited the White House to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43551024/mark-zuckerberg-visits-white-house-for-advancing-american-tech-leadership-abroad-as-meta-ceo-continues-to-strengthen-ties-with-trump">discuss how Meta can support</a> and promote American tech leadership overseas.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s stock ended Friday at $625.66, down 0.36%. In after-hours trading, it slipped another 0.23%. Year to date, Meta has gained 4.41%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

In a Fox News interview Sunday, Trump described the economy as going through &#8220;a period of transition&#8221; when asked about recession possibilities. Bond market signals have raised alarm bells, with investors moving into short-dated Treasuries amid anticipation the Federal Reserve may cut <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44211421/us-economy-teetering-recession-may-be-looming-as-bond-market-reacts-to-trump-policies">interest rates as early as May</a>.
The White House recently rolled back some tariffs on Canada and Mexico, but uncertainty persists. Allianz Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian suggested market reactions reflect companies valuing &#8220;predictability and clarity of policies&#8221; above all else.

Stock Futures Drop As 'Reverse Trump Trade' Takes Hold—Peter Schiff Says Market Shift 'Long Overdue' And Will Likely Continue For A Decade

On Sunday, Bill Ackman responded to a post by David Sacks regarding the U.S. involvement in Ukraine. Ackman questioned the implications of allowing Russia to control Ukraine, emphasizing the strategic importance of Ukraine&#8217;s resources.
What Happened: Ackman posed a rhetorical question, asking if it would be beneficial for the U.S. to let Russia dominate Ukraine and its valuable resources, including rare earths and agriculture. He further inquired about the potential consequences if Russia were to expand its influence over Eastern Europe.
Ackman asked, &#8220;Once Russia has Ukraine, do we let them take the rest of Eastern Europe?&#8221;

Sacks had previously posted on X that the U.S. should &#8220;never have gotten involved in Ukraine.&#8221; He claimed that the military-industrial complex profit and so did the family of former President Joe Biden, but Ukraine suffered.

In response to Ackman, Sacks countered that Ukraine&#8217;s neutrality from 1991 to 2014 did not cause issues for the U.S. and criticized the decision to involve Ukraine in NATO and support a coup in 2014.

He has also expressed the need for decisive action from the U.S. government in response to the conflict.
In the past, Ackman has urged Biden to take a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/02/25889752/bill-ackman-wants-biden-to-do-more-in-fight-against-russia-says-its-time-to-show-what-america-stands">stronger stance</a> against Russia, emphasizing the importance of demonstrating American values.

Bitcoin, Ethereum And Dogecoin Crash As Trump Refuses To Rule Out Recession: Arthur Hayes Predicts BTC To Retest $78,000

Mark Carney, a former central banker, is poised to become Canada&#8217;s new prime minister, with the task of steering the nation through the challenges posed by tariffs imposed by Donald Trump.
What Happened: The Liberals announced Carney as the successor to Justin Trudeau on Sunday, following a party voting contest, as reported by Reuters. Trudeau stepped down in January amidst dwindling approval ratings after nearly a decade in power.
Carney, 59, is a political outsider who has never held office, a factor that would typically hinder his candidacy in Canada. However, his distance from Trudeau and his high-profile banking career played in his favor. Carney believes he is the only candidate equipped to handle Trump&#8217;s tariffs.
&#8220;I know how to manage crises &#8230; in a situation like this, you need experience in terms of crisis management, you need negotiating skills,&#8221; said Carney.

Why It Matters: Carney&#8217;s appointment also marks a significant shift in Canadian politics, as he is set to be the first person to become Canadian prime minister without prior legislative or cabinet experience. 
His diverse background, including a stint as a college-level ice hockey goalkeeper at Harvard and 13 years at Goldman Sachs, coupled with his handling of the financial crisis and his work on finance and climate change at the United Nations, may bring a fresh perspective to the role.
The announcement of Carney&#8217;s prime ministership comes amidst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42806662/justin-trudeau-set-to-resign-as-prime-minister-of-canada-report">escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada</a>. Trump had threatened to impose reciprocal tariffs on Canadian lumber and dairy products, accusing Canada of "ripping us off for years" with a 250% tariff on U.S. dairy. 
In response, Trudeau <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44102599/canadian-pm-justin-trudeau-retaliates-with-25-tariffs-on-us-goods-amid-escalating-trade-war">announced a 25% tariff on C$155 billion ($109 billion) worth of U.S. goods</a>. This tit-for-tat tariff war has been a significant concern for both nations, and Carney&#8217;s banking experience and crisis management skills could prove crucial in navigating these challenges.

Mark Carney Takes Justin Trudeau's Job As Canada's New PM, Ready to Face Trump's Tariff Threats: 'I Know How To Manage Crises'

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has unveiled a host of new products within a short span of two weeks, straying from its traditional staggered launch strategy.
Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman in his <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-03-09/apple-ipad-air-mac-studio-macbook-air-thoughts-company-explores-smart-glasses?srnd=undefined&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">latest </a>weekly "Power On" has shared that Apple&#8217;s recent product launches include a new iPhone, low-end iPad, iPad Air, iPad keyboards, MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and the M3 Ultra chip. 
Such a wave of releases is not common for the tech giant, especially outside its usual fall product season.
The company&#8217;s strategy seems to be leveraging the robust momentum of the Mac and iPad, which saw over 15% sales growth during the holiday quarter. While the new models are minor updates, they initiate&nbsp;a new marketing cycle and&nbsp;may prompt some consumers to upgrade.
Amidst sluggish iPhone sales, Apple is pulling out all the stops to bolster&nbsp;its second-quarter results and meet&nbsp;guidance. The iPhone 16e&#8217;s $599 price tag is part of this strategy.
Additionally, Apple is reportedly investigating various glasses concepts and has incorporated a Vision Pro app and new AI capabilities into its latest iOS beta software. The tech behemoth is also developing a smart home hub, codenamed J490, equipped with an iPad-like screen and home-control features.

However, Apple&#8217;s AI strategy has faced scrutiny as it recently postponed Siri features that were announced at the previous Worldwide Developers Conference. The company is anticipated to reveal plans for extending current capabilities to more apps at the forthcoming conference in June.
The deviation from Apple&#8217;s usual staggered launch strategy indicates a shift in the company&#8217;s approach to market penetration. 
By releasing a slew of products at once, Apple is aiming to capitalize on the strong sales momentum of the Mac and iPad. 
The move also appears to be a response to slow iPhone sales, with the company seeking to boost its second-quarter results.
Apple&#8217;s exploration of smart glasses and the development of a smart home hub signal the company&#8217;s continued push into new tech frontiers. 
However, the delay in Siri features and the scrutiny of its AI strategy highlight the challenges Apple faces in these areas.

Apple Breaks Tradition With A Flood Of New Releases; Explores Smart Glasses

Mark Cuban, the billionaire entrepreneur and a regular on Shark Tank, once publicly challenged the legitimacy of President Donald Trump&#8217;s billionaire status.
What Happened: During a podcast in 2016, Cuban insinuated that Trump&#8217;s cash assets do not exceed $165 million, a sum significantly smaller than Cuban&#8217;s own wealth, estimated at $5.7 billion.
This is not the first instance of Cuban expressing criticism towards Trump. The relationship between the two, which was once amicable, has deteriorated over time. 
One of the most significant criticisms from Cuban was his public questioning of Trump&#8217;s billionaire status. Cuban referred to Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings,&nbsp;arguing that the figures do not corroborate Trump&#8217;s claims of being a billionaire. 
&#8220;I know what I&#8217;m good at, and I know what I&#8217;m not good at. I&#8217;m not so sure Donald knows what he&#8217;s not good at,&#8221; Cuban <a href="https://wabcradio.com/bernieandsid/">said </a>during the interview.
Cuban also said that Trump was good at putting his name on big buildings and licensing his name on hotels, but it isn&#8217;t clear how much money that has made him. 
&#8220;He&#8217;s good at that. Whether or not that&#8217;s made him a billionaire, I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Cuban said. &#8220;He&#8217;s not transparent enough for us to actually know.&#8221;
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44065757/mark-cuban-warns-elon-musk-is-making-trumps-job-1000-times-harder">Mark Cuban Warns Elon Musk Is Making Trump&#8217;s Job &#8216;1,000 Times Harder&#8217;</a>
He further examined Trump&#8217;s business undertakings, implying a lack of focus in them.
&#8220;So when you&#8217;re putting your name on steaks, and you&#8217;re putting your name on water, you&#8217;re putting your name on playing cards, you&#8217;re putting your name on all this nonsense, right? You&#8217;re not gonna make big bucks, no matter what. It&#8217;s not like Trump Steaks were gonna make him $100 million. It&#8217;s not like it was gonna make him $5 million,&#8221; Cuban added. 
During the interview at that time, Cuban said he has more money than Trump. &#8220;It&#8217;s not even close, I do,&#8221; Cuban said. 
&#8220;Before all the Trumpians jump on me on who has more money, the reason I know is when you file your federal election campaign reports, you have to list all your cash and liquid securities and bonds. You have to list them one by one. So we know without any question that as of May 27, Donald doesn&#8217;t have more than $165 million in cash and securities and bonds,&#8221; he said. 
&#8220;And trust me, I&#8217;ve got a lot of more than that in cash, securities, and bonds. And so you know, I&#8217;m willing to bet dimes against dollars that that&#8217;s pretty much what he&#8217;s got,&#8221; he continued. 
Why It Matters: The public questioning of Trump&#8217;s billionaire status by Cuban signifies a considerable intensification in their ongoing discord. This development is significant as it adds another layer to the ongoing feud between two high-profile personalities. 
Cuban&#8217;s questioning of Trump&#8217;s billionaire status not only challenges Trump&#8217;s financial credibility but also hints at deeper issues in Trump&#8217;s business ventures. 
This could potentially impact public perception of Trump&#8217;s business acumen and his overall reputation as a successful entrepreneur.

Mark Cuban Once Questioned Whether Donald Trump Is Really a Billionaire

The Chevrolet Silverado, one of America&#8217;s best selling pickup trucks, received a month-long reprieve Thursday when President Donald Trump announced a delay on tariffs for Mexican imports <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44149833/trump-delays-ford-gm-stellantis-from-from-tariffs-on-mexico-canada-for-one-month">covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement trade agreement until April 2</a>. 
The decision temporarily shields the iconic vehicle from price hikes that threaten to disrupt its international supply chain and potentially drive its <a href="https://www.chevrolet.com/trucks/silverado/1500">$40,000 to $70,000 sticker price</a> even higher. 
Trump announced the delay following a conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. &#8220;I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum,&#8221; <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114116432894994278">Trump wrote on Truth Social</a>, citing cooperation on border security and fentanyl trafficking.

</ul>
According to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/economy/tariffs-delay-mexico-canada/index.html">CNN</a>, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated that Canadian tariffs might also see a similar postponement, though no official announcement had been made by late Thursday. A senior Canadian government source told CNN that negotiations were ongoing without clarity on whether the tariffs would be lifted. 
The stakes remain high for the Silverado. Of the 673,000 units General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) produced last year, 31% were built at the company&#8217;s factory in Silao, Mexico, and 20% at its Oshawa, Canada plant, according to <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/fb55f297-7e29-4215-a67f-4217e1a026d6">the Financial Times</a>.

Even Silverados manufactured at U.S. facilities in Michigan and Indiana rely on cross-border parts including power steering and door trim panels from Mexico, rear lighting from Canada, airbag modules from Germany and center displays from Japan, according to S&amp;P Global Mobility data cited by the FT. 
Data collected by Export Genius cited by the FT showed Mexican exports of Silverado components totaled nearly $30 billion last year, with braking systems alone accounting for $4.3 billion. 
GM has been preparing for potential tariffs since Trump&#8217;s election. According to the FT, CFO Paul Jacobson said at a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/11/ford-ceo-says-trumps-tariffs-are-causing-chaos-in-auto-industry.html">Wolfe Research investment conference</a> last month that the company had reduced inventory at non-U.S. plants by nearly a third &#8220;because the last thing you want is a bunch of finished inventory that&#8230; suddenly became 25% more expensive just with the passage of time.&#8221;

The temporary nature of the reprieve leaves automakers in a difficult position. Major manufacturing shifts would require billions in investment, yet companies remain hesitant to commit those resources amid ongoing uncertainty. 
The tariff delay represents a significant—if temporary—shift in the administration&#8217;s trade approach that had rattled markets, businesses and consumers, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/economy/tariffs-delay-mexico-canada/index.html">according to CNN</a>. 
Since taking office, Trump has implemented a staggered approach to tariffs. The President initially announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico would begin Feb. 1, before delaying them several times. The administration also imposed 10% tariffs on Chinese goods on Feb. 4. 
For now, the Silverado and other vehicles manufactured within the North American trade zone have breathing room.

Trump's Tariff Delay Gives America's Favorite Truck Temporary Relief

Esteemed investor Peter Lynch shared his insights on the current state of the stock market and his strategies for selecting stocks.
What Happened: Lynch, in his discussion with Barron&#8217;s, emphasized the superiority of growth stocks, which are companies experiencing significant sales growth, over non-growth stocks. He warned investors not to mistake earnings growth, which can include turnarounds and cyclicals, for sales growth.
Despite the growing popularity of passive management, Lynch pointed out that active management continues to flourish at&nbsp;Fidelity, with many funds consistently outperforming their benchmarks.
Lynch underscored the importance of investing in companies that offer innovative products or services. He cited&nbsp;Stop &amp; Shop&nbsp;and&nbsp;Dunkin&#8217; Donuts&nbsp;as examples of successful local companies.
During <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/peter-lynch-how-to-find-growth-opportunities-in-todays-stock-market-51576877980">the </a>interview, when asked about what characterizes a great company, Lynch said, &#8220;My best stocks have been ones where I didn't have to worry about the big picture. A company with a better mousetrap, a growth company in a non-growth industry.&nbsp;
He expressed regret for not investing sooner in companies such as&nbsp;Walmart Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and&nbsp;Sherwin Williams Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>), attributing this to a lack of research and an underestimation of their growth potential.

Lynch advised investors to invest in a stock during the early stages of its growth and to sell before it reaches its peak. He also raised concerns about the current scarcity of growth companies, flagging this as a potential warning sign.
&#8220;If you cannot find growth companies in innings three through five of the ballgame, look at turnarounds, special situations, back at the cyclicals. There's a real shortage now of growth companies. That is a red flag, because all the money is flowing into a few companies. There's an end to that game. It will scare me if this trend continues for a couple more years,&#8221; he added. 
Why It Matters: Lynch&#8217;s insights come at a time when the stock market is experiencing significant volatility. His emphasis on the importance of growth stocks and active management provides valuable guidance for investors navigating this uncertain landscape. 
His regret over missed investment opportunities serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough research and the potential benefits of investing in companies with strong growth potential. 
His warning about the scarcity of growth companies could signal a shift in market dynamics, making his insights particularly relevant for investors.

Peter Lynch's Evergreen Market Advice: 'If You Can't Find Growth Companies In Innings Three Through Five, Look At Turnarounds'

Anthony Scaramucci, former White House communications director, has expressed concern that President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies may push the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41866624/scaramucci-on-trump-win-i-got-it-wrong-im-not-going-to-whine-about-it">U.S. into a recession</a>.
What Happened: Scaramucci, who is also the founder of&nbsp;SkyBridge Capital, in&nbsp;an interview with Yahoo Business, criticized the tariff policies of President Trump. He described these policies as harmful and potentially capable of inducing a recession.
Scaramucci compared tariffs to a&nbsp;consumption tax, similar to a&nbsp;value-added tax (VAT), and stated that they disproportionately affect lower-income individuals. &#8220;So&nbsp;what ends up happening is&nbsp;the poor people, it eats&nbsp;up more of their disposable&nbsp;income than any other income&nbsp;group,&#8221; he commented.
While he suggested that&nbsp;some trade agreements should be&nbsp;restructured to protect American workers, Scaramucci disagreed with Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariff policies. &#8220;I&nbsp;don't think this sort of&nbsp;blanket approach is the right&nbsp;way to do it…And I&nbsp;think he's going to&nbsp;put us into a recession, frankly,&#8221; he added.

Despite the criticism, President Trump continues to stand by his tariff-driven economic policy. This is evident as the White House recently retracted tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Trump maintains&nbsp;that short-term economic turbulence is&nbsp;a necessary sacrifice for achieving long-term goals.
Why It Matters: The potential for a recession due to Trump&#8217;s tariff policies is a significant concern for the US economy. 
The tariffs, which are essentially a consumption tax, could disproportionately affect lower-income individuals, leading to economic instability. Furthermore, the disagreement over the approach to trade agreements highlights the ongoing debate about the best way to protect American workers and industries. 
The persistence of these issues could potentially lead to an economic downturn, as predicted by Scaramucci and Yang.

Anthony Scaramucci Slams Donald Trump: 'He's Going To Put Us Into A Recession, Frankly'

The bond market is sounding the alarm bells for a potential U.S. economic slowdown, as President Donald Trump&#8216;s tumultuous tariff policies and federal workforce cuts threaten to further hinder growth.
What Happened: Investors have been pouring money into short-dated Treasuries, leading to a significant dip in the two-year yield since mid-February. 
This move is a response to the anticipation that the Federal Reserve may begin to slash interest rates as early as May to ward off further economic deterioration, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-09/the-bond-market-s-trump-trade-is-looking-like-a-recession-trade?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reports </a>Bloomberg. 
&#8220;Just a few weeks ago we were fielding questions about whether we think the US economy&#8217;s re-accelerating —- and now all of a sudden the R word is being brought up repeatedly,&#8221; Gennadiy Goldberg, head of US interest rate strategy at TD Securities told the outlet.
The swift shift from optimism about growth to despair starkly contrasts the resilience of the US economy in recent years. Investors initially thought that Trump&#8217;s presidency would amplify this trend, predicting faster growth and inflation, which drove yields higher late last year.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43756824/market-instability-looms-in-trumps-second-term-warns-paul-tudor-jones-theres-no-room-for-mistakes">Market Instability Looms in Trump&#8217;s Second Term, Warns Paul Tudor Jones: &#8216;There&#8217;s No Room for Mistakes&#8217;</a>
However, since mid-February, Treasury yields have fallen as the new administration&#8217;s policies have sown considerable uncertainty over the economic outlook. 
A key factor has been Trump&#8217;s escalating trade war, which is predicted to trigger another inflation shock and disrupt global supply chains.
&#8220;Recession&nbsp;risk is definitely higher because&nbsp;of the sequence of Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;policies – tariffs first, tax&nbsp;cuts later,&#8221; said&nbsp;Tracy Chen,&nbsp;a portfolio manager at Brandywine&nbsp;Global Investment Management.
Why It Matters: The bond market&#8217;s reaction is a clear indication of the growing concerns about the US economy&#8217;s health. The shift in investor sentiment, from optimism to despair, underscores the uncertainty and potential risks associated with the current administration&#8217;s policies. 
The escalating trade war and the potential for another inflation shock could further destabilize global supply chains and hinder economic growth.
Moreover, the Federal Reserve&#8217;s potential move to reduce interest rates as early as May, a measure typically taken to prevent economic decline, further highlights the severity of the situation. 
The economic implications of these developments could be far-reaching, affecting not only the US but also the global economy.

US Economy Teetering? Recession May Be Looming As Bond Market Reacts To Trump Policies

Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) has issued a warning to a select group of customers about a possible data breach. The breach could have potentially exposed sensitive data, including personal details <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35738108/unexpected-account-shutdowns-at-major-banks-lead-to-frustration-accusations-of-discrimination">and Social Security numbers</a>.
What Happened: The Bank of America has alerted a small group of its customers about a data breach that may have exposed confidential information. The breach, which took place on December 30, was a result of improper handling of confidential documents by a third-party document destruction service provider.
While the exact number of affected accounts has not been disclosed, the bank confirmed&nbsp;that at least two customers&nbsp;in Massachusetts have been impacted. 
The bank <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/2025-302-bank-of-america/download">said</a> in a statement, &#8220;A document destruction vendor did not secure bank-related materials appropriately in transport. Some documents were found outside of the secure containers on the exterior of the financial center.&#8221;
The information that could have been exposed includes&nbsp;names, financial account details, addresses,&nbsp;phone numbers, email addresses, gender,&nbsp;dates of birth, social security&nbsp;numbers,&nbsp;and other unique government ID&nbsp;data.

This incident comes on the heels of a similar breach in January where&nbsp;data of at least 414&nbsp;customers were put at risk due to another third-party breach. 
In light of the recent incident, Bank of America&nbsp;is offering the potentially impacted&nbsp;customers a&nbsp;complimentary membership to an identity-theft&nbsp;protection service for two years.
Why It Matters: This is not the first time Bank of America has faced a data breach issue. In January, a similar incident occurred, putting the data of hundreds of customers at risk. 
These recurring breaches highlight the vulnerabilities in the bank&#8217;s data security measures and the potential risks associated with third-party service providers. 
As a result, the bank is now offering identity-theft protection services to potentially affected customers, indicating its efforts to mitigate the impact of such breaches and restore customer trust.

Bank of America Sounds Alarm on Massive Data Breach, Millions Could Be Affected - Is Your Account Safe?

Own the DOGE, the group behind the original Doge meme's intellectual property, has unveiled a new meme coin named Cocoro (COCORO), launched on Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network developed by Coinbase.
What Happened: The coin's debut coincided with a blog <a href="https://kabochan.blog.jp/archives/53553858.html">post </a>from Atsuko Sato, the owner of the late Kabosu—the Shiba Inu that inspired Dogecoin—introducing her newly adopted 10-year-old rescue dog, Cocoro. The IP around Cocoro is being officially managed by Own the Doge.
COCORO's market cap quickly surged past $80 million after its launch on Saturday, before dropping to around $46 million with a token price near $0.046. Tokenomics show 75% of the supply was locked into liquidity pools, 20% distributed via airdrops to DOG and NEIRO holders, and the remaining 5% allocated to a DAO reserve.

The project's pseudonymous CEO, Smoke, <a href="https://decrypt.co/309199/next-dogecoin-cocoro-official-base-meme-coin">told </a>the Decrypt that the team chose Base for its scalability and affordability. "We are big fans of what Base is doing for the ecosystem," said Smoke. "They have made it fast and affordable to build on Ethereum at scale." He added that DOG, their previous token, has over 1 million holders on Base.

</figure>
Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), launched in 2013 without Sato's approval, went on to become one of the most valuable meme coins. In contrast, Own the Doge (DOG) was built after securing the rights to the original Doge meme photo in 2021, giving it a formal IP foundation. 
Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) are notable platforms with meme coin exposure. Investors may also look to ETFs like ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITO#NYSE">BITO</a>) or Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WGMI#NASDAQ">WGMI</a>) for broader crypto-related plays.
Why It Matters: Following Cocoro's launch, DOG jumped 25% in value, per CoinGecko data. Meanwhile, NEIRO—another meme token based on a dog adopted by Sato last year—dropped 14% after Cocoro's release. Though the NEIRO token won a DAO vote for official backing, a formal agreement has yet to be signed.
The Cocoro launch marks a shift in how meme coins tied to Sato's dogs are introduced, with a deliberate attempt to create official pathways and IP clarity around future projects.

The Trump Organization has launched a lawsuit against Capital One, alleging that the bank closed hundreds of President Donald Trump-linked accounts for politically motivated reasons.
What Happened: The Trump Organization claims that Capital One has closed numerous accounts related to the Trump family due to &#8220;woke&#8221; political motivations.
Eric Trump, the&nbsp;executive vice president of the&nbsp;Trump Organization, expressed his frustration over the situation, stating that transferring over 300 bank accounts was a challenging task. 
He clarified that these accounts were linked to various business ventures, including hotels, golf courses, residential&nbsp;and commercial buildings, retail outlets, skating rinks, and parking garages. He denied any political affiliation, emphasizing that the only common factor was the Trump name.
"I can't tell you how hard it is to change more than 300 bank accounts – and for no reason whatsoever. These were hotels and golf courses, residential buildings and commercial buildings, retail outlets and skating rinks and parking garages,&#8221; Eric Trump <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-organization-eric-trump-sue-capital-one-unjustifiable-2021-debanking-based-woke-beliefs">told</a> Fox News.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42499633/exclusive-eric-trump-declares-bitcoin-the-future-details-tax-free-crypto-goals-for-trump-presidency">EXCLUSIVE: Eric Trump Declares Bitcoin The Future, Details Tax-Free Crypto Goals For Trump Presidency</a>
"There was no political affiliation. The only common denominator was that they wore the Trump name," he added. 
Capital One, on the other hand, has denied these allegations, asserting that it does not terminate customer accounts due to political reasons. According to the lawsuit filed&nbsp;in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit&nbsp;of Florida, the bank had notified the Trump Organization in March 2021 about the closure of&nbsp;hundreds of their bank accounts,&nbsp;which held millions of dollars.
The lawsuit suggests that Capital One is&nbsp;part of a growing trend&nbsp;among major financial institutions to&nbsp;de-bank clients with conflicting political&nbsp;views. The Trump Organization is seeking to highlight this issue, which it deems to be of significant public interest and importance.
Insiders have hinted to Fox News that other banks, including Chase, Bank of America, and TD Bank, have also cut ties with Trump and may face similar lawsuits in the near future.
Why It Matters: This lawsuit comes at a time when financial institutions are under scrutiny for their political affiliations and actions. 
The Trump Organization&#8217;s lawsuit against Capital One could potentially set a precedent for other businesses who feel they have been unfairly treated by banks due to their political affiliations. 
The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for the banking industry and its relationship with politically affiliated clients.

Warren Buffett once warned students about the perils of excessive borrowing, citing Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44065860/warren-buffetts-unconventional-career-advice-dont-save-your-passion-for-later-its-like-saving-up-sex-for-your-old-age">as a case in point</a>.
What Happened: Buffett, during a 1991 Q&amp;A session, was questioned&nbsp;by a Notre Dame student&nbsp;about Trump&#8217;s business difficulties. 
He responded by emphasizing Trump&#8217;s heavy dependence on borrowed money, which subsequently led to the bankruptcy of&nbsp;Trump&#8217;s Atlantic City Taj Mahal&nbsp;casino later that year.
Buffett explained, &#8220;The big problem with Donald&nbsp;Trump was he never went&nbsp;right. He basically overpaid for&nbsp;properties, but he got people&nbsp;to lend him the money.&nbsp;He was terrific at borrowing&nbsp;money. If you look at&nbsp;his assets, and what he&nbsp;paid for them, and what&nbsp;he borrowed to get them,&nbsp;there was never any real&nbsp;equity there.&#8221;
Buffett advised the students to emulate&nbsp;his own life as a&nbsp;blueprint for success&nbsp;in business and investing without&nbsp;the heavy reliance on&nbsp;debt. 
&#8220;You really don&#8217;t need leverage in this world much. If you&#8217;re smart, you&#8217;re going to make a lot of money without borrowing,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never borrowed a significant amount of money in my life. Never. Never will. I&#8217;ve got no interest in it,&#8221; according <a href="https://www.tilsonfunds.com/BuffettNotreDame.pdf">to</a> former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson.

Buffett&#8217;s viewpoint on borrowing has remained unwavering over the years. In&nbsp;his 2017 annual letter to&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway&nbsp;shareholders and during a subsequent CNBC interview, he cautioned investors against using debt to purchase stocks.
Why It Matters: Buffett&#8217;s advice underscores the importance of financial prudence and the potential pitfalls of over-reliance on debt. 
His consistent stance on this issue serves as a valuable lesson for investors and business students alike, emphasizing the importance of sustainable financial practices over quick, debt-fueled gains. 
This timeless advice is particularly relevant in today&#8217;s economic climate, where easy access to credit can often lead to unsustainable debt levels.

Okta, Moderna and MicroStrategy Are Among Top 10 Large-Cap Gainers Last Week (Mar 3-Mar 7): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Vice President JD Vance recently found himself confronted by a group of pro-Ukraine protestors while out with his young daughter in Ohio.
What Happened: Vance came across a group of &#8220;Slava Ukraini&#8221; protestors near his residence in East Walnut Hills, Cincinnati. The group, consisting of around 30 to 40 individuals, prominently displayed signs expressing support for Ukraine. They allegedly followed Vance, shouting slogans that caused his three-year-old daughter to become visibly distressed.
In an attempt to distract the protestors from his child, Vance engaged in a dialogue with them. He characterized the exchange as &#8220;mostly respectful,&#8221; but voiced criticism against involving children in political demonstrations.
He wrote on X, "I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone. (Nearly all of them agreed)."
He added it was "mostly respectful conversation, but if you're chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you're a s— person."&nbsp;

</figure>
While the specifics of the conversation were not disclosed by the Vice President, this occurrence follows a tense meeting last month between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in which Vance played a role.
The meeting took a sour turn when Zelensky voiced skepticism regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin&#8216;s commitment to a ceasefire agreement.
In the aftermath of the strained meeting, the U.S. suspended aid to Ukraine and halted intelligence sharing. Vance, who has been known to express doubts about aid to Ukraine, has previously encountered pro-Ukraine protests during a visit to Vermont.
Why It Matters: This incident underscores the ongoing tension between the U.S. and Ukraine, particularly in the wake of the contentious meeting between the two nations&#8217; leaders. The confrontation with the protestors also highlights the public&#8217;s awareness and concern over these geopolitical issues. 
The fact that these protests are occurring not only at official events, but also in the personal life of the Vice President, indicates the depth of public sentiment on this issue.

VP Vance Slams Pro-Ukraine Protesters for Confronting Him With His Daughter: 'Chasing a Three-Year-Old for Politics'

Last fall, billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban publicly expressed his admiration for Elon Musk&#8216;s business acumen and risk-taking approach, despite their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43424157/mark-cuban-suggests-20-minute-daily-habit-to-destabilize-musk-zuckerberg-and-even-president-trump">ideological differences</a>.
What Happened: In an October 2024 interview, Cuban praised Musk&#8217;s propensity to heavily invest in his business ventures. &#8220;He goes all in,&#8221; Cuban said.
Musk&#8217;s purchase of Twitter was highlighted as an example of his risk-taking approach. Musk acquired the platform in October 2022 for $44 billion, using his personal funds, bank loans, and capital from other investors. 
However, X&#8217;s valuation has since taken a hit, largely due to Musk&#8217;s controversial stance on hate speech and &#8220;free speech.&#8221;
Despite these challenges, Cuban commended Musk&#8217;s entrepreneurial feats, including the co-founding of seven companies such as&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX.

"Put aside his genius in coming up and running these companies, the one thing I respect the most about Elon Musk — and he does more than anybody I've ever seen — and that is he goes all in. He takes every cent he has and he believes in it, and he goes all&#8230;in. He never hedges his bet, at all," he said during the podcast.

&#8220;What he&#8217;s&nbsp;been able to accomplish is&nbsp;insane, it&#8217;s incredible,&#8221; Cuban remarked. However, he did criticize Musk&#8217;s social media conduct, referring to him as a &#8220;troll&#8221;.
"What he's been able to accomplish is insane, it's incredible. I would never diminish anything he's done as an entrepreneur," Cuban said. "As a Twitter user? &#8230; He just trolls to troll to troll."
Why It Matters: This development underscores the complex relationship between two of America&#8217;s most influential entrepreneurs. 
Despite their ideological differences and public disagreements, there seems to be a mutual respect for each other&#8217;s business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit. 
The impact of Musk&#8217;s risk-taking approach on X&#8217;s future remains to be seen, but it&#8217;s clear that his bold decisions continue to shape the business landscape.
