Las Vegas lawyer indicted in $460M 'slip-and-fall' scheme

A personal injury lawyer in Las Vegas was indicted Wednesday on federal charges that he orchestrated a $460 million Ponzi scheme in Nevada, Utah and California LAS VEGAS -- A longtime Las Vegas attorney was indicted Wednesday on federal charges that he orchestrated a $460 million Ponzi scheme spanning multiple states, from Nevada and Utah to California and Arizona. The eight-count indictment accusing Matthew Wade Beasley of wire fraud and money laundering comes almost one year to the day after the personal injury attorney was shot and wounded by FBI agents at his $1.1 million home in Las Vegas, leading to a four-hour standoff that ended with his arrest. He was charged with assault on a federal officer. Beasley has been in federal custody since the standoff — during which prosecutors have said the lawyer , then 49, “repeatedly confessed” to his involvement in the investment scheme while on the phone with a negotiator. Beasley remained in the house until FBI SWAT agents entered. Jacqu

Chris Pine Comes To MTG In Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Secret Lair

Magic: The Gathering is hosting another Dungeons & Dragons crossover, but this time it's not a full-on expansion. Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brings the characters portrayed by Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Justice Smith, and Hugh Grant to the wildly popular card Game . Announced during today's D&D Direct, the new Secret Lair brings six unique Legendary creatures in both foil and non-foil formats. These include Xenk, Paladin Unbroken; Simon, Wild Magic Sorcerer; Forge, Neverwinter Charlatan; Holga, Relentless Rager; Doric, Nature's Warden; and Edgin, Larcenous Lutenist.

Workers At Ubisoft Paris Accuse Company Of Crunch Culture

Workers at Ubisoft Paris recently accused the company of promoting crunch culture, speaking to the media by way of Solidaires Informatique. According to the union, some ten percent of employees working on the most recent Just Dance reported suffering from a form of burnout. The organization also added that monthly rates of sick leave have been sharply rising. NME recently investigated the claims and spoke with an employee at the company under condition of anonymity who confirmed the allegations. According to the source in question, there have been widespread issues with pre-production, something which has been described as a “mess.” Workers at Ubisoft Paris were for example asked to change the Just Dance engine just 11 months before launch, while being pressured to incorporate ideas that "had to be considered at all costs," despite the team already being “underwater.” The source called this both "morally and physically exhausting" for workers.

High On Life DLC Teased, No Sign Of Justin Roiland

High on Life developer Squanch Game s just dropped a teaser for an upcoming DLC, and there's no sign of disgraced studio founder, Justin Roiland, anywhere. In the short trailer, we hear the voice of Michael Cusack's Knifey rather than Roiland, despite his own character playing a much more significant role in the Game . It's not clear if this comes as a result of Roiland's departure from Squanch back in January, or if he was always planned to have a less significant role in future updates. In any case, it shows that Squanch is prepared to move on without him, and isn't planning to ditch its latest release over the controversy surrounding the Rick & Morty co-creator.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Unlikely To Remove Live-Service Elements

New reports have surfaced claiming that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League won't see any significant changes despite the negative fan reaction to the latest trailer and reports of a lengthy delay. The reaction to the first real Game play footage of Suicide Squad wasn't exactly positive. The trailer revealed at Sony's State of Play last month was quickly ratio'd, with players complaining of a Game that suddenly seemed less like a DC-themed beat-'em-up and more like a generic shooter, with even Captain Boomerang firing off guns rather than using his titular boomerang. It didn't help that fans spotted plenty of live service elements, such as a battle pass and an in- Game cosmetics store. Related: There Is No Fixing Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Soon after the trailer, rumors began swirling that Suicide Squad would be delayed past its May release date.

The Last Of Us' Ashley Johnson Had Ellie's Mom's Note In Her Pocket On The Show

Aside from introducing one of the most interesting and frustrating debates in video Game History to an entirely new audience, HBO's The Last Of Us finale also introduced us to Ellie's mom, Anna. Anna is never shown in the Game s, only referenced via a letter. Ashley Johnson, Ellie in the Game s and Anna in the show, used that letter to remind her of the character's History . Johnson didn't just return to the Game to re-read the letter and remind herself of what it said. The actor went one very big step further than that. “There's a letter that Anna writes that Ellie keeps in her backpack. And I wrote that letter out and just kept it in my pocket as kind of a reminder to myself of where this character came from,” Johnson told Deadline.
