PLAINFIELD, N.H. (AP) — Officials are confident they can finally unload two properties formerly owned by a now-jailed pair of tax evaders, including the compound where they kept federal agents at bay during a monthslong armed standoff, despite lingering concerns the place is booby-trapped.
An auction last year for Ed and Elaine Brown's properties drew no bidders, but much has changed ahead of this year's attempt, set for Thursday at the federal courthouse in Concord.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A law firm hired by DraftKings to investigate claims an employee used valuable inside information to win a $350,000 second-place prize on a competing daily fantasy sports site contest confirms that it didn't and couldn't have happened.
The Boston-based daily fantasy sports company released a short two-page summary Monday saying it would have been impossible for the employee to use the information to win on FanDuel because he didn't receive the helpful data until 40 minutes after that site's contest closed. The companies' employees aren't allowed to bet on their own sites but until recently could play on competing sites.
