ALL THE MONEY NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.

Today's edition is all about litigation.

A new lawsuit accuses Live Nation and Ticketmaster of allowing a third-party company to gain access to private information belonging to 560 million customers, Saleen Martin reports.

The customer data was then listed for sale for $500,000 on the dark web, the lawsuit alleges.

California residents Cynthia Ryan and Rosalia Garcia filed the suit last week in California's Central District Court.

Court blocks grant program for Black women

In a closely watched civil rights case, a federal appeals panel has blocked Fearless Fund from awarding $20,000 grants to businesses owned by Black women while the case is litigated, siding with conservative activist Edward Blum, who alleges that the grant program is likely discriminatory.

The 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals disagreed with a federal judge, who ruled in September that the lawsuit was unlikely to prevail on First Amendment grounds.

Poppi soda is being sued over claims that its drinks do not contain enough prebiotic fiber to "cause meaningful gut health benefits for the consumer from just one can," Jonathan Limehouse reports.

VNGR Beverage LLC, the Texas-based corporation that makes Poppi sodas, is named in the class-action lawsuit. The complaint alleges Poppi sodas contain only two grams of prebiotic fiber, which means "a consumer would need to drink more than four Poppi sodas in a day to realize any potential health benefits."

Yet, "even if a consumer were to do this, Poppi's high sugar content would offset most, if not all, of these purported gut health benefits," says the suit, filed in the Northern District of California.

A researcher browses an internet site with a job offer for a United Nations agency that has been flagged as a scam in Nairobi on June 30, 2022. A report by Code for Africa revealed that in 2020 when job losses soared during the Covid-19 pandemic 33 scam recruitment Facebook accounts, groups and pages with more than 184,000 followers targeted people in Kenya, requiring them to send about 350 Kenyan shillings ($3) before placements that never materialized.   Syndicates behind these scams rely on the desperation of job seekers who fail to double-check the authenticity of job postings and send money without hesitation to secure employment, said Kenyan cyber security expert Anthony Muiyuro.
