Alphabet shares dive after Google AI chatbot Bard flubs answer in ad

<更新日時> 06月18日(日) 09:15

By Martin Coulter and Greg Bensinger

LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc lost $100 billion in market value on Wednesday after its new chatbot shared inaccurate information in a promotional video and a company event failed to dazzle, feeding worries that the Google parent is losing ground to rival Microsoft Corp.

Alphabet shares slid as much as 9% during regular trading with volumes nearly three times the 50-day moving average.They pared losses after hours and were roughly flat. The stock had lost 40% of its value last year but rallied 15% since the beginning of this year, excluding Wednesday's losses.

Reuters was first to point out an error in Google's advertisement for chatbot Bard, which debuted on Monday, about which satellite first took pictures of a planet outside the Earth's solar system.

Google has been on its heels after OpenAI, a startup Microsoft is backing with around $10 billion, introduced software in November that has wowed consumers and become a fixation in Silicon Valley circles for its surprisingly accurate and well-written answers to simple prompts.

Google's live-streamed presentation on Wednesday morning did not include details about how and when it would integrate Bard into its core search function. A day earlier, Microsoft held an event touting that it had already released to the public a version of its Bing search with ChatGPT functions integrated.

Bard's error was discovered just before the presentation by Google, eVDen Eve nAKLiyAT based in Mountain View, California.

"While Google has been a leader in AI innovation over the last several years, they seemed to have fallen asleep on implementing this technology into their search product," said Gil Luria, EvdEn Eve NaKliYaT senior software analyst at D.A.Davidson. "Google has been scrambling over the last few weeks to catch up on Search and that caused the announcement yesterday (Tuesday) to be rushed and the embarrassing mess up of posting a wrong answer during their demo."

Microsoft shares rose around 3% on Wednesday, and were flat in post-market trading.

Alphabet posted a short GIF video of Bard in action via Twitter, promising it would help simplify complex topics, but it instead delivered an inaccurate answer.

In the advertisement, Bard is given the prompt: "What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can I tell my 9-year old about?" Bard responds with a number of answers, including one suggesting the JWST was used to take the very first pictures of a planet outside the Earth's solar system, or exoplanets.The first pictures of exoplanets were, however, eVDEn Eve nakLiYAT taken by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in 2004, as confirmed by NASA.

"This highlights the importance of a rigorous testing process, something that we're kicking off this week with our Trusted Tester program," a Google spokesperson said.Should you beloved this informative article and you desire to be given more info relating to EvdeN EVE NAKliyAt kindly stop by our own web-site. "We'll combine external feedback with our own internal testing to make sure Bard's responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in real-world information."

FORMIDABLE COMPETITOR

Alphabet is coming off a disappointing fourth quarter as advertisers cut spending.

The search and advertising giant is moving quickly to keep pace with OpenAI and rivals, reportedly bringing in founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page to accelerate its efforts.

"People are starting to question is Microsoft going to be a formidable competitor now against Google's really bread-and-butter business," said King Lip, chief strategist at Baker Avenue Wealth Management, which owns Alphabet and Microsoft shares.

Lip cautioned, though, that concerns about Alphabet may be overblown, saying: "I think still Bing is a far, far cry away from Google's search capabilities."

The new ChatGPT software has injected excitement into technology firms after tens of thousands of job cuts in recent weeks and executive pledges to pare back on so-called moonshot projects.AI has become a fixation for tech executives who have mentioned it as much as six times more often on recent earnings calls than in prior quarters, Reuters found.

The appeal of AI-driven search is that it could spit out results in plain language, rather than in a list of links, which could make browsing faster and more efficient.It remains unclear what impact that might have on targeted advertising, the backbone of search engines like Google.

Chatbot AI systems also carry risks for corporations because of inherent biases in their algorithms that can skew results, sexualize images or even plagiarize, as consumers testing the service have discovered.Microsoft, for instance, released a chatbot on Twitter in 2016 that quickly began generating racist content before being shut down. And EvDEN EVe nAkLiyat an AI used by news site CNET was found to produce factually incorrect or plagiarized stories.

At the time of writing, the Bard ad had been viewed on Twitter more than a million times.

Disney's Bob Iger will lay off 7,000 workers

<更新日時> 06月18日(日) 07:34

Disney's Bob Iger is planning to lay off 7,000 employees in a 'significant transformation' to cut back costs as he eliminates some of his predecessor's efforts.

On Wednesday, Iger announced his plans to restructure the company, effectively eliminating the Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution group set up under former CEO Bob Chapek.

The new structure, according to the , will have only three divisions, Disney Entertainment — which will include film and TV assets as well as Disney+; ESPN — which will include ESPN and ESPN+; and Parks, Experiences and Products — which will include theme parks and the consumer products team.

As part of that changeup, Disney will cut 7,000 jobs — representing a little over three percent of its global workforce.The cuts are likely to predominantly affect the entertainment and ESPN divisions, despite the company beating analyst's expectations for the fourth quarter of 2022.

The changeup comes as Gov.Ron DeSantis  and the company faces a proxy battle with an activist investor seeking to gain a seat on the board.

Disney CEO Bob Iger is planning to lay off some 7,000 employees as he restructures the company

In announcing the new structure Wednesday, Iger likened it to changes he made at the media giant in 2005, when he first became CEO, and Evden eVe nakliyat in 2016, when Disney announced a shift to streaming as it bolstered its assets with the acquisition of 21st Century Fox.

'Our new structure is aimed at returning greater authority to our creative leaders and making them accountable for how their content performs financially,' he said on an earnings call. 

'Our former structure severed that link and must be restored,' he continued, noting: 'Moving forward, our creative teams will determine what content we're making, how it's distributed and monetized and how it gets marketed.'

Under the plans, Alex Bergman and Dana Walden will co-chair the Disney Entertainment division, with Jimmy Pitaro continuing to lead ESPN and Josh D'Amaro continuing to lead parks and experiences.

And, in addition to the planned layoffs, Disney CFO Christine McCarthy also said the company is targeting $5.5billion in cost savings, including $3billion related to future content savings with the remaining $2.5billion coming from existing marketing, staffing and technology costs. 

But the move comes as Disney beat earnings expectations.

The company announced on Wednesday that it earned $1. If you beloved this article and you also would like to obtain more info with regards to eVdeN eve nAkliyaT i implore you to visit our internet site. 28billion, or 70 cents per share, in the three months through December 31, up from a net income of $1.1billion, or 60 cents per share a year earlier.

Excluding one-time items, Disney earned 99 cents per share.Analysts, on average, were expecting adjusted earnings of 78 cents per share, according to FactSet.

In total, eVdeN eVE NaKLiyAT revenue grew eight percent to $23.51 billion from $21.82 billion a year earlier. Analysts were expecting revenue of just $23.44 billion.

The company also said Disney+ ended the quarter with 161.8million subscribers, down one percent since October 1, while Hulu and ESPN+ each posted a two percent increase in paid subscribers.

Following the news, shares of Disney rose three percent in after-hours trading.

Much of the layoffs are expected to be in the entertainment division, which includes Disney+, as well as ESPN, which includes ESPN+

Disney ended the fourth quarter of 2022 with $1.28billion, or 70 cents per share

Disney shares ticked upwards following the earnings call on Wednesday

But Disney has been under fire recently by billionaire investor Nelson Peltz, who has claimed Iger is not fit to lead the company, citing falling revenues. 

Last week, Peltz — the founder of Trian Management — sent a letter to Disney shareholders on Thursday asking them to vote for him rather than longtime board member Michael BG Froman.

It was just the latest move Peltz made in his ongoing war with Disney, after previously filing paperwork with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission  for a seat at the Mickey Mouse table and launching a campaign across social media.

'He was being gracious with fans, taking pictures and speaking with anyone who wanted some of his time.'

Michael Irvin has filed a $100 million lawsuit against a woman who claimed the Cowboys legend made an inappropriate comment towards her this week at an Arizona hotel, resulting in his dismissal from NFL Network's ongoing Super Bowl LVII coverage

Renaissance Hotels' parent company, Marriott, is also named in the lawsuit for allegedly scheming to make Irvin the next victim of ' cancel culture.' The alleged incident is believed to have taken place at the Renaissance Hotel location in Glendale, Arizona (pictured)

After returning to his room following the brief exchange with the woman, Irving claims he was woken up by hotel staff, who removed him from the hotel without explanation. 

'Plaintiff was judged guilty without even knowing the accusations,' the lawsuit reads. 'A few days later, Plaintiff was removed from his scheduled programming, and essentially ''kicked off the air'' and ''cancelled'' due to these allegations.'

In his lawsuit, Irving claims he has witnesses who can support his statement that he and Doe 'casually exchanged pleasantries,' adding that the 56-year-old 'shook her hand, and went to his room alone.'

The filing also claims that the hotel refused to listen to eye-witness accounts of the interaction.

What's more, the hotel manager is accused in reporting the incident to the NFL 'with the intention of damaging that relationship and canceling [Irvin].'

'Evidently, as Plaintiff was sleeping one of the managers of the Hotel reported false information to the NFL about the Plaintiff accusing him of improper behavior towards a hotel employee,' the lawsuit reads. 'The NFL responded by removing Plaintiff from all scheduled programming surrounding the Super Bowl. Plaintiff's representatives have reached out to the hotel and even met in person to obtain clarity about this situation and provide witnesses and resolve this matter before Plaintiff's reputation could be damaged any further—but to no avail.'

'When I came into the hotel [on Sunday night], they asked what I did and I said, ''I just went straight to the room,''' Irvin said, as quoted by

'So they moved my hotel, and I said, ''What's going on, guys? What's happening? Why are we moving hotels?''

'They said, ''Well, last night you walked in, you talked to somebody.'' I said, ''I didn't talk to anybody. I went straight to the room.''

'And then they showed it on camera that I did talk to somebody. I talked to this girl for about a minute. I don't know what — they didn't show it to me. They told it to me. I didn't see it. But that's why they moved me, because I guess the girl said I said something to her within that minute that we talked, and so they moved me.'

'That's why I'm kind of hiding to wait and see how everything comes down,' Irvin added. 'It was a minute meeting somewhere in the lobby. I don't even remember it really because I had a few drinks, to tell you the truth.'

Mexico border prison break: Cartel leader among 30 inmates on the run

Thirty prisoners, evdEN evE nAKLiyaT including the leader of a feared cartel's assassin squad serving a 224-year sentence, are still on the run after a deadly New Year's Day prison break near the US border.

Security forces continue to search the region surrounding Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, for those who escaped in an attack that left 19 people dead.

Los Mexicles leader Ernesto ‘El Neto' Piñón escaped the Cereso No.3 state prison on Sunday after members of the notorious street gang stormed into the penitentiary located just 16 miles from El Paso, , and helped him escape.

Authorities initially reported that César Vega, EvDEn evE naKliYAt the criminal group's second-in-command, had also escaped before later announcing he is among the seven inmates who were killed. 

At least 200 members of the gang have since been moved from the prison. The brazen assault left ten prison guards and two attackers dead. If you adored this article and you would like to collect more info with regards to EvdEn Eve nAkliyaT i implore you to visit the page.

Authorities arrested five members of Los Mexicles following a high-speed chase and seized a cache of rifles and ammunition.

The United States Consulate in Ciudad Juárez advised US citizens in the border town to shelter in place after reports of gunfire Monday night.

A Monday afternoon gun battle at a housing complex left seven people dead, including two cops, while security forces hunted down the fleeing inmates.No arrests were reported.

The Cereso No. 3 prison director, Alejandro Téllez, was fired and placed under investigation Tuesday, the Chihuahua State Attorney General's Office said in a statement.

At least 200 Los Mexicles jailed members were loaded onto buses in the early hours Tuesday and transported to Abraham González International Airport, where they boarded two National Guard flights to other federal jails.

Mexico's Secretary for Security and Citizen Protection, Rosa Rodríguez, had announced Monday that plans were underway to transfer high-risk inmates from the Cereso No.3 state prison to other penitentiaries in the country to prevent further attacks.

The Cereso No. 3 state prison was overpopulated by 123% at the time of the attack, eVDEN eVe NakliyAt National Commission of Human Rights director, Nestor Armendáriz, told Radio Formula.

The agency's 2021 National Diagnosis of Penitentiary Supervision found that the prison was severely affected by overcrowding, lack of personnel and that not enough programs were being offered to prevent addiction and voluntary detoxification.

Saskia Niño del Rivera, cofounder of Reinserta, a non-profit that works with reintegrating and readapting convicts into society, called on the Mexican government to shut down the detention facility.

'That prison has to be closed, it does not have the infrastructure to function, it does not have the elements, enough trained guards,' Niño de Rivera told El Universal newspaper.

The activist pinned the prison's unsavory conditions on the reality of the high presence of convicts who are members of the Los Jaliscos, Los Artistas Asesinos, Los Golfos and Los Mexicles street gangs.

'It is a very complicated prison because of the way in which it has been divided by dormitories, and the complexity of closing them so that the same gangs do not clash internally is extremely complex,' she said.

Niño del Rivera added that Cereso No. 3 state prison officials were simply overwhelmed because they were dealing 'with inmates who have levels of crime and crime leadership capacity much higher than what a state has to control.'

The prisoners' free reign allowed them to set up 10 jail cells that were equipped with electronic goods, such as televisions, and one of them had its own jacuzzi, according to Defense Minister Luis Cresencio.

Investigators searching Piñón's cell found 10 firearms, 20 kilos of drugs, liquor and a safe deposit box with $87,000.

Chihuahua State Attorney General Roberto Fierro vowed to restore the prison's security system within three months while adding that they would seek to prosecute any official or guard involved in the attack that allowed Piñón and the other 29 inmates to escape.

'Who did see it and who was allowing these actions, those are the ones who are going to bear the punishment because this should not have happened,' Fierro said.'A series of corruption was discovered inside the prison; it must be said as it is.'

Piñón took the Los Mexicles top leadership spot after Jesús 'El Lalo' Soto was transferred out of the Cereso No. 3 state prison in February 2020.

He joined the gang as an 18-year-old in 2007 and was involved in numerous criminal incidents, including kidnappings, in Ciudad Juárez, where the faction acted as the main enforcer for Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán's old Sinaloa Cartel.

Guns and bullets are seen in front of the Cereso No.3 state prison  that were recovered by the security forces Sunday after the Los Mexicles street gang launched an attack and freed their leader, Ernesto 'El Neto' Piñón

Piñón was found guilty of kidnapping and murder in 2010 and sentenced to 224 years in prison.

Authorities say he was also involved in ordering a wave of assaults throughout Ciudad Juárez on August 11 that left 11 people dead, 20 injured and multiple vehicles and business torched.

At the same time, he organized a riot at the prison in an attempt to flee, but security forces were able to regain control.

The citywide assaults were part of a rift reportedly sparked by Los Mexicles' fallout with the Sinaloa Cartel faction that is overseen by Los Chapitos - El Chapo's children - as the gang formed new alliance with Los Aztecas, the armed wing of the Juárez Cartel.

Los Mexicles had also joined forces with the Caborca Cartel, the criminal organization founded by infamous jailed drug lord, Rafael Caro Quintero, who is awaiting extradition to the United States, where he is accused of the 1986 kidnapping and murder of Drug Enforcement Administration agent Kiki Camarena.

The Caborca Cartel is also at odds with Los Chapitos.

Vega served as Piñón's main confidant at the prison, where they both shared a cell.

He was deported to Mexico in September 2015, almost four years after he was arrested at an El Paso, Texas, fried chicken restaurant.

Vega was detained December 27, 2011 at Church's Chicken where he was employed as a cook a year after he fled from Mexican authorities after the ambush of the prison van he was being transported in, according to U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

He and seven other Los Mexicles gang members abducted Natividad Torres at his Ciudad Juárez home on September 15, 2009.

The kidnappers sought a return of $47,000 in exchange for Torres' release but ended up settling for just $700, a television and a 2008 Toyota.Torres was shot four times on September 15 and released the following day.

He died October 21 as a result of the gunshot wound and Vega and four other kidnappers were arrested the next month.

Vega was sentenced to 42 years for kidnapping and murder.

A border agent has died and two others are 'gravely' injured following a shootout off the coast of Puerto Rico early Thursday morning.

Federal officials say a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations unit was on routine control about 14 miles off the coast of Cabo Rojo at around 8am local time, when they were interdicting suspected smugglers.

Adidas lowered its earnings forecast for the year by $250million to account for losses from ending its partnership with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West over his anti-Semitic remarks – but will still sell his sneakers without Yeezy branding

<更新日時> 06月16日(金) 08:59

Adidas lowered its earnings forecast for the year by $250million to account for losses from  over his anti-Semitic remarks - but will still sell his sneakers without Yeezy branding.

Adidas owns the design rights for both existing and future colors and versions of the Yeezy line, but not the Yeezy name.The company said it will continue to sell the sneaker and apparel line, but stripped of the name and branding, reported. 

'Going forward, we will leverage the existing inventory with the exact plans being developed as we speak,' Adidas finance chief Harm Ohlmeyer said Wednesday. 

The German shoe and EVDeN EVE nAKLiYAT sportswear maker cut its sales and profit outlook part of its third-quarter earnings statement, even as the company's chief financial officer said the profitability of the Yeezy shoe collaboration with Ye had been 'overstated. If you loved this posting and you would like to obtain far more data with regards to evDeN EVe NakliYaT kindly visit the web-site. ' 

The company slashed its expectations in half for net profit from continuing operations to $252 million this year from about $500 million. That matched its earlier statement that ending the partnership with Ye would cost it $252 million in profits.

The Yeezy brand accounted for EVdEN Eve nAKLiYaT up to 15 percent of Adidas' net income, Morningstar analyst David Swartz said in a note on October 26. 

Adidas split from Ye on October 25 just days after the rapper claimed on a podcast that , despite saying 'anti-Semitic things'.

German sporting goods behemoth Adidas ended its partnership with Kanye West in October amid controversial behavior from the American rapper and designer

Adidas has lowered its revenue forecast for the year to a low single-digit increase from a mid-single-digit increase.

The split with Ye, with production of all Yeezy products halted and royalty payments ended, will leave Adidas searching for another star to help it compete with ever-larger rival Nike. 

The company would largely offset the impact of the breakup next year by no longer having to pay royalties and marketing fees for the brand, EvDen eVe nAkliyAT CFO Harm Ohlmeyer said. 

Adidas also is facing internal upheaval, with its  Friday. 

He was previously expected to hand over next year, but the company announced the quicker change on Tuesday as it named Puma CEO Bjørn Gulden as his replacement.

Adidas faced pressure to split with Ye as other brands did earlier over the rapper´s anti-Semitic comments in interviews and social media, including a Twitter post earlier this month that he would soon go 'death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,' an apparent reference to the U.S.defense readiness condition scale known as DEFCON. 

He was suspended from both Twitter and Instagram.

Ohlmeyer also said that the profitability of the Yeezy business had been overstated because its costs only included expenses directly related to the products and not central overhead costs borne by the company.

'In other words, it does not include any further central cost allocation for sourcing, digital, retail, or any other services that this part of our business has been benefitting from and that were essential for its success,' Ohlmeyer said.

'At the same time, we will save around 300 million euros related to royalties and marketing fees; in combination, this will help us to compensate the majority of the top and bottom line impact in 2023,' he said.

The man who monetized community in the office space with the controversial WeWork has turned the same theory to residential properties with his newest venture Flow

The man who monetized community in the office space with the controversial WeWork has turned the same theory to residential properties with his newest venture Flow. 

Adam Neumann, 43, has described how the company will transform how people interact with their homes and give them with a sense of ownership even though they're renting. To illustrate the idea he said tenants would plunge their own toilets instead of calling supers.

In , made public on Monday, Neumann discussed at length for the first time the vision behind his new real estate venture which will launch this year with properties in Atlanta, Miami and Nashville.

Flow will provide an 'elevated experience' and 'find a way to share with the resident a portion of the value that they create' to give them a sense of 'equity' in their homes.

During the 50-minute talk Neumann was joined by Marc Andreessen, a co-founder of the prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, which .

Adam Neumann, evden Eve NakLiyat 43 who unsuccessfully attempted to revolutionize the commercial property industry with WeWork wants to change the way home rental works by giving renters a sense of ownership 

The cash injection .A website for the project just says: 'Live life in Flow. Coming 2023.' It is not clear when this year it is expected to launch.

Neumann spoke of 'pillars' to the business, which would allow his company manage and own buildings but also oversee the collection of rent.

Firstly, he said he would use 'branded technology' to 'operate a management company that runs the buildings'.Second he would manage a portfolio of property like a traditional real estate fund.

Flow would also serve as a financial services company that would handle monthly rent payments, which make up 35 percent of a renter's expenditure, he said. 

A fourth and final pillar was the more abstract idea of finding a way to impart a sense of ownership in renters, but he also said that 'ownership is a very complicated word'. 

'If you're in your apartment building and you're a renter and your toilet gets clogged you call the super,' he said.'If you're in your own apartment and you bought it and you own it and your toilet gets clogged, you take the plunger 

'It's the difference when feeling like you own something to just feeling like you're renting, from being transactional to actually being part of a community,' he added.

'If we are able to take this value creating mechanism and share with the residents a portion of the value, it's going to make them feel ownership,' he said.'If that value appreciates over time then I feel like I'm part of a community.'

Neumann said that for most Americans the majority of their equity is in their homes, but on the other hand renting is becoming more common, and people are needing to rent for decades and raise families in rented homes.

The new company will own and manage residential property in Atlanta, Miami and Nashville this year, eVden EVE nakliYat it says

Marc Andreessen (pictured) is a co-founder of the prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, which invested $350 million into Flow last August

'If you're going to go into these multi-family buildings and you're going to have this disconnected experience that you just said, but you're not only going to be there for two years and then get married and EvdEn eVE nAKliyAt move, you're going to be there for 20.That sounds soul-crushing,' he said.

Neumann put a lot of emphasis on the way technology would be used to enhance the renter's experience. The company has posted job listings for more than ten engineering roles on its website, several of which are in New York and Texas and are related to the development of a 'payments platform'.

In a last August announcing his firm's investment in Flow, Marc Andreessen praised Neumann who he said was a 'visionary leader'.

He added that for all the scrutiny facing Neumann after his failed IPO and questionable management style, 'it's often under appreciated that only one person has fundamentally redesigned the office experience ...Adam Neumann'.

In explaining the firm's decision to invest Andreessen hailed Neumann as the person who could fix the current issues with the housing industry.

'The demographic trends driving America's housing market are impossible to ignore: Our country is creating households faster than we're building houses,' he wrote.

'Structural shortages in available homes for sale push housing prices higher, while young people are staying single for longer and increasingly concentrating in highly desirable urban centers.'

And as a result of the pandemic, Andreessen wrote, 'many people will live in places far away from where they work, and many more will shift to a hybrid environment.'

'Many people are voting with their feet and moving away from traditional economic hub cities to different cities, towns or rural areas with no diminishment of economic opportunity,' he continued.

'The residential real estate world needs to address these changing dynamics.When you have just about any issues concerning where by in addition to how you can employ evDEn Eve NaKLiYAt, you'll be able to e-mail us at the website. And yet, virtually no aspect of the modern housing market is ready for these changes.'

'We think it is natural that for his first venture since WeWork, Adam returns to the theme of connecting people through transforming their physical spaces and building communities where people spend the most time: their homes.'

Richard Masters, 52, was arrested on Friday on charges of violating US sanctions laws

A British citizen has been arrested in on US criminal charges alleging that he helped a billionaire Russian oligarch evade sanctions relating to his $90 million megayacht.

Richard Masters, 52, was arrested on Friday by the Spanish Guardia Civil and faces extradition to the US on charges that he tried to hide , the Tango, from authorities.

Despite the alleged scheme, EvdeN EvE NAkliYAt the Tango was seized by the last April in Palma de Mallorca, the capital of Spain's Balearic Islands and a playground and tax haven for the ultra-rich.

Also charged in connection with the alleged plot was Vladislav Osipov, 51, a Russian national with dual Swiss citizenship, who remains at large. 

Masters and Osipov are both charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and to commit offenses against the United States, violating sanctions laws, and money laundering. 

Vekselberg is a billionaire and close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin who heads the Moscow-based Renova Group, a conglomerate encompassing metals, mining, tech and other assets.

Since 2018, Vekselberg's assets in the US have been frozen, eVden evE NAKLiyat and US companies are forbidden from doing business with him and his entities, but fresh sanctions targeting his yacht were enacted following Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year.

However, US prosecutors allege that after Vekselberg was sanctioned in April 2018, Masters's company took over the management of Tango and conspired to evade US sanctions. 

According to the indictment, Masters cooked up the fake yacht name 'the Fanta'

According to the indictment, Masters cooked up the fake name 'the Fanta' and used various workarounds to avoid sanctions, such as payments in other currencies and through third parties.

As a result, the trappings of Tango, including its satellite television, luxury goods, and teleconferencing software, were all US-origin products and services supplied by US companies, in violation of sanctions laws, prosecutors say.

'Facilitators of sanctions evasion enable the oligarchs supporting Vladimir Putin's regime to flout US law,' said United States Attorney Matthew M.Graves. 

'The United States will not allow its financial institutions and persons to be manipulated or defrauded for the purposes of benefitting those supporting an illegal war,' he added.

In investigation was coordinated through a Justice Department task force known as KleptoCapture, aimed at enforcing sweeping sanctions against Russia's oligarchs following the invasion of Ukraine.

'These men made their decisions, and now face the consequences of a failed attempt to profit through, rather than standing against, a sophisticated, transnational criminal enterprise,' said KleptoCapture Director Andrew Adams.  

The US is seeking Masters' extradition from Spain. It was unclear whether he had an attorney to speak on his behalf. An arrest warrant against Osipov is outstanding.
