Walmart (WMT) Pays $10 Million Fine to Settle Lawsuit over Money Transfer Fraud
Walmart (WMT) has agreed to pay a $10 million fine to settle a U.S. Federal Trade Commission civil lawsuit accusing the world's largest retailer of ignoring warning signs that scam artists leveraged its money transfer service to bilk consumers out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Confident Investing Starts Here: Walmart has also agreed not to process money transfers it suspects are fraudulent, or help sellers and telemarketers it believes are using its services to commit fraud. 'Electronic money transfers are one of the most common ways that scammers tell consumers to send them money, because once it's sent, it's gone for good,' said Christopher Mufarrige, director of the FTC Consumer Protection Bureau. Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart did not admit or deny wrongdoing in settling the case. In its complaint, the FTC accused Walmart of turning a blind eye to fraudsters who used its money transfer service to target consumers. Walmart acts as an agent for money transfers by companies such as MoneyGram and Western Union (WU). Tricksters The FTC said fraudsters used many schemes via Walmart, including impersonating Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents, impersonating family members, and telling victims they won lotteries or sweepstakes but owed fees to collect their winnings. The judge dismissed part of the FTC's legal claim last year but let the regulator pursue most of its case. Walmart appealed that decision. The $10 million settlement effectively ends Walmart's appeal. WMT stock is up 6% this year. Is WMT Stock a Buy? average WMT price target of $109.71 implies 14.14% upside from current levels.

Kesha Gets Wild and NSFW in Outrageous ‘Boy Crazy' Video
Kesha very much brings the name of her single 'Boy Crazy' to life in her new video. On Tuesday, the pop star released the provocative visual for her latest Period track, just weeks before she's set to roll out the album. The Kesha, Brett Loudermilk, and Zain Curtis-directed video captures Kesha at the center of a Last Supper-esque table, surrounded by men of all ages, looks, and vibes. As she belts out the silly lyrics, the singer rides on a man's back, holding a fishing rod with a pink panty dangling from the hook. More from Rolling Stone The Weeknd Is Stuck in Purgatory in 'Baptized in Fear' Video Remy Bond Channels the 'Diamond Sadness' of the Seventies in 'Moviestar' Video St. Vincent Taps Mon Laferte for Spanglish Duet of 'Violent Times' The camera then cuts to Kesha smoking from a long cigarette holder in a classic car, again surrounded by men. In another shot, she stares blankly while a man sticks his booty in her face. 'Gimme, gimme, gimme all the boys/I just need a little love tonight/I can't help it, baby, I'm on fire,' she sings. It all wraps up with an NSFW makeout montage: men kissing each other, getting sprayed with a hose, and posing nude with a pixelation censor. The final shot? A smirking Kesha cradling a man in her arms as she feeds him from her breast. Kesha features several models, pornstars, dancers, and Los Angeles nightlife staples, including Horsegurl3000, Bonavega, Mark Daftari, Brooks Ginnan, D'Mahdnes Lavaughn, and Steffon Palmer. The artist is set to debut her album, Period, on July 4 after dropping singles 'Joyride,' 'Yippe-Ki-Yay' with T-Pain, and 'Delusional.' The LP will be released under Kesha Records, the independent label she launched in 2024 with distribution from Warner Music Group's independent distribution arm ADA Worldwide. 'My name has become synonymous with transparency, integrity, and safety, and I want to ensure that these values are upheld for myself and any future artists signed to my label,' Kesha said last year. 'Music has the power to connect the world, and I aspire for my work to be a beacon of light and goodness. I am excited to take control of my narrative and rewrite my story in the music business.'

Eric Dane emotionally explains ALS battle
Actor Eric Dane is opening up about his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, diagnosis. Dane, who famously played Dr. Mark 'McSteamy' Sloan on 'Grey's Anatomy,' got emotional talking about the journey with ABC's Diane Sawyer. 'I wake up every day and I'm immediately reminded that this is happening,' he told Sawyer in the teaser clip released on June 12. 'It's not a dream.' The full interview with Dane and Sawyer will be aired on Good Morning America on June 16. 'I don't think this is the end of my story. I don't feel like this is the end of me,' he explained. The 'Euphoria' star revealed his diagnosis to PEOPLE magazine in April. 'I have been diagnosed with ALS,' he said. 'I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.' ALS, a neurogenerative disease also referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a 'condition that affects how nerve cells communicate with your muscles,' the Cleveland Clinic's website explains. It leads to worsening muscle weakness over time, and there is currently no cure. The causes of ALS are still being studied, though it is believed that around 10% of cases are passed down through genetics, according to the Mayo Clinic's website. 'Researchers continue to study possible causes of ALS. Most theories center on a complex interaction between genes and factors in the environment,' the site claims. Despite the diagnosis, the 52-year-old is set to return as Cal Jacobs for the upcoming third season of 'Euphoria.' Dane is married to actress Rebecca Gayheart they have two teenage daughters.
