Making a Murderer 2: Meet the fierce leather-clad lawyer who could set Steven Avery free with her ‘air-tight’ alibi
WITH jet-black hair as long as her list of exonerations, top criminal lawyer Kathleen Zellner has spoken out against ‘bad cops’, brands inmates ‘freaks and monsters’, and happily taunts her opposition on social media. Now, the feisty lawyer has set her sights on freeing Steven Avery – one of the most talked about convicted murderers in the world - and the man at the centre of Netflix’s Making a Murderer. Steven was convicted of the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach in 2007 - and when we last saw him in the finale of series one in December 2015, he was sentenced to life imprisonment with no parole. Thankfully, the release date of the eagerly-anticipated second series was announced yesterday as October 19th.

Banks Are Worried About Margin Loans
Corporate equity derivatives.Here is a Bloomberg story with the headline "An Opaque $3.5 Billion Business Gives Wall Street a Hangover," and I clicked it, thinking, oh, you know, opaque businesses, can never get enough of opaque businesses, and it turned out that the opaque business is my old business: It is corporate equity derivatives, the business where I was employed on Wall Street for four years. Specifically it is about financing transactions -- margin loans and funded collars -- for large equity stakes owned by rich corporate insiders, private-equity funds, sovereign debt funds, etc.; more specifically it is about the margin loans to the former chairman of Steinhoff International Holdings NV that a bunch of banks did, secured by his stock in Steinhoff, and how those loans lost more than $1 billion for the banks. We have discussed those loans a few times around here.I would like to use this article as an excuse to reminisce about my old job, and about how dumb and … [Read more...] about Banks Are Worried About Margin Loans
