“New Republic” not funded with fascist money  

"the money inherited traces back to the inventor of the sewing machine, Isaac Merritt Singer. While the money does trace back to the Singer Sewing Machine Company, Isaac Singer did not invent the sewing machine, and Peretz’s uxorial nest egg traces back to Edward Clark, Singer’s patent lawyer, who was granted a full partnership in return for wresting the sewing machine patent away from the actual inventor, Elias Howe."

Sony Pictures hack spreads to Deloitte: thousands of audit firm's salaries are leaked -- Fusion 

"Included among the Deloitte files is a spreadsheet that appears to contain the 2005 salary information for 31,124 U.S. Deloitte employees. The same spreadsheet also contains race and gender data for each worker, although unlike the Sony Pictures files, names are not attached to the salary information. If the spreadsheet is accurate, the data provides a rare look inside a high-profile firm’s salary structure."

CyberTrader to be dumped - Austin Business Journal Jun 24, 2007  

San Francisco-based Schwab, one the nation's largest discount brokers with 6.9 million accounts, bought CyberTrader in 2000 for $488 million. 
Over the past seven years, Schwab has taken the trading technology the CyberTrader team developed -- such as streaming market information and analytical tools -- into its fold and made it available to Schwab clients. All the while, CyberTrader and Schwab have been operating under separate broker-dealer licenses. When the integration is complete, all of those clients will be served under Schwab's license, making for a more efficient operation, Phillips says.

Ameritrade In Deal to Buy Online Rival Datek - New York Times  

Apr 8, 2002 

"Datek had originally been valued by analysts at only about $700 million, but bidders like Ameritrade, the E*Trade Group, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and TD Waterhouse, the subsidiary of TD Bank of Toronto, ratcheted up the price during several intense rounds of bidding, spurred by the pressures of a consolidating marketplace. Ameritrade and E*Trade are the nation's only publicly traded online brokerages."

If you know of any, please let me know and I'll link to them (blog posts, tweets, major media articles, etc.).
