American banks are caught between two kinds of punishment. If they miss dirty money, regulators fine them. If they flag it and close the account, they get sued for debanking. Capital One (NYSE:COF) has paid on both sides, and its record shows which way the pressure is moving.

Sept 18 (Reuters) - US equity funds recorded outflows for a fourth consecutive week in the week to September ‌18, as rising crude oil prices heightened inflation ‌concerns and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike added to investor caution ahead of its policy decision.
US equity funds recorded net redemptions of $31.44 billion during the week, largely matching the $32 billion withdrawn a week earlier, LSEG Lipper data showed.
Crude oil prices rose to ‌four-month highs during the ⁠week, fueling inflation concerns and lifting Treasury yields, which weighed on growth-oriented funds.
The Fed raised interest ⁠rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday and signaled that further tightening may be needed to curb inflation fueled by higher energy costs linked to the war in Iran.
Investors withdrew $28.71 billion, $1.73 billion ‌and $3.16 billion from US large-cap, mid-cap and multi-cap funds, respectively. In contrast, small-cap funds attracted $568 million in weekly inflows.

Financial services company Enova International (NYSE: ENVA) seemed headed for the investor doghouse late Thursday. The company, which focuses on lending to underserved individuals and small businesses, withdrew its applications for banking licenses.
As investors considered this a defeat for the company, they promptly and vigorously sold the stock. As of Thursday evening, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, its price had fallen by nearly 20% week to date.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
In December 2025, Enova announced it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Grasshopper Bancorp, the holding company for a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured online lender Grasshopper Bank. Around that time, Enova submitted a clutch of applications to federal and state authorities for it to provide banking services as Grasshopper's would-be owner.
Enova said the decision was in the best interests of the company and its investors. It cited a lack of clarity in the authorization process as a roadblock for its ambition.

The White House on Thursday withdrew the nomination of Oklahoma state trooper Lance Schroyer to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a Republican blocked his confirmation hearing.
Schroyer's nomination stalled after Senate Homeland Security Chair Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a foe of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, requested that the Department of Homeland Security provide his committee with more information about its investigation into two ICE and Border Patrol agents accused of killing two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in January.
Paul, who as chair controls the committee's hearing and markup agenda, did not oppose Schroyer's nomination, per Drew Carmichael, a spokesperson for the senator.
Schroyer was a surprise pick to lead ICE. He had no experience leading a major law enforcement agency, let alone an organization the size of ICE. But Schroyer has close ties with the DHS secretary. Schroyer at one point led Mullin's security detail and Mullin made Schroyer a senior adviser at DHS.
The White House and DHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Enova International Inc (NYSE:ENVA) withdrew regulatory applications for its planned Grasshopper Bancorp acquisition on Tuesday, sending shares sharply lower despite reaffirmed growth forecasts and plans for faster buybacks.
Shares fell 25% to $169.50 following the company's acquisition update.
The technology and ******* ytics company pulled applications with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve after reviewing the transaction and bank approval process.
CEO Steve Cunningham said withdrawing the applications was the best choice for Enova and its shareholders, adding that the company can keep growing without becoming a bank.
He argued that banking rules have not kept pace with the credit needs of consumers and small businesses that banks do not adequately serve.

UFC 331 has lost a main card fight.
Brian Ortega is out of his scheduled bout vs. Renato Moicano due to injury and will not be replaced, the promotion announced Monday, just five days before Saturday's event at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Instead, Moicano (21-7-1 MMA, 13-7 UFC) will now headline UFC Fight Night 292 vs. Tom Nolan (11-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC). The event takes place Oct. 31 at Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
No official injury was revealed for Ortega (16-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC), however an Instagram story posted Sunday by Christian rapper Lecrae showed the UFC contender sporting what appeared to be some fairly significant damage around his left eye area.
The change marks the second time Ortega vs. Moicano 2 has been canceled in 2026. It was initially scheduled for March and Ortega withdrew due to injury. Moicano then fought Chris Duncan, who he submitted in Round 2.

Jose Delgado has no regrets after a valiant effort against Jean Silva at UFC Fight Night 288.
Delgado (12-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) dropped Silva (18-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) in Round 1 of their Noche UFC main event this past Saturday at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Ariz., but Silva rallied to submit him in Round 3.
Delgado, who took the opportunity on short notice after Silva's original opponent Yair Rodriguez withdrew, took to Instagram to speak on the loss.
"Well sh*t so it goes. Dared to be great yesterday and came up short. But man I loved every second of being on that stage with high level opposition, that includes the heartbreaking pain of failure. Pure freedom. Insert something cliche about bouncing back here. Thank you to God for His guidance and my village for backing me. Also thanks to everyone in that arena for making that walk what it was. Love yall🤎."

The King has stepped in to help reinstate Uganda's participation in Prince Harry's Invictus Games after the country withdrew from the tournament.
Charles, 77, was "moved" by General Kainerugaba's consideration of his opinion and encouraged the chief to proceed with preparations for the country's participation in the games, according to Sir Clive Alderton, the King and Queen's principal private secretary.
The General has now approved participation in the upcoming Games, which was founded by the Duke of Sussex in 2014 and will next be held in 2027 in Birmingham, following a telephone phone call with Sir Clive, it was revealed on Monday.
Chris Magezi, the spokesperson for Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF), wrote on social media: "The decision follows a telephone conversation between General Kainerugaba and the Principal Private Secretary to His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen of the United Kingdom, the Right Honourable Sir Clive Alderton K.C.V.O."

The FedEx Cup Fall is here.
The 2026 Biltmore Championship, a new PGA Tour event in Asheville, North Carolina, kicks off Thursday. The Presidents Cup is set for next week outside of Chicago, but the first Tour event since the season-ending Tour Championship is up. The Cliffs at Walnut Grove will host the tournament. The layout is a par-71 measuring 7,249 yards.
Being a fall event, the purse is significantly smaller than most events from the regular season. The biggest name initially in the field, Justin Thomas, withdrew Sunday, too, but there are other notables set to take on the Biltmore.
Here's a look at the purse and prize money payouts for the 2026 Biltmore Championship, where $5 million is up for grabs in Asheville, North Carolina.

Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (NYSE:DB) said on September 7 that it had settled a Frankfurt lawsuit brought by former banker Dario Schiraldi, according to Reuters. He had sought €152 million in damages, but the settlement amount was not disclosed. The bank said the agreement would have only a small financial effect on third-quarter earnings.
The distinction matters: €152 million was the claim, while the payment remains confidential. The earnings impact also does not establish the cash cost, because a settlement payment may discharge a liability for which an expense was recognized earlier.
Four former employees continue to pursue claims exceeding £600 million in London. The Frankfurt agreement therefore reduces the number of unresolved cases without establishing the cost of resolving the wider dispute.
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (NYSE:DB) has removed one source of litigation uncertainty. The Frankfurt court confirmed that Schiraldi withdrew his case ahead of the scheduled hearing. Investors now have management's ***** sment of a limited near-term earnings effect instead of an unresolved damages demand.
The agreement also shows that negotiated resolutions are possible. It was the second settlement involving the six former employees who brought related claims. Further agreements could reduce litigation costs and management distraction if acceptable terms can be reached.

Frenchman Arthur Gea failed to convert a match point which would have seen him make history as the first lucky loser to ever reach the quarter-finals of the US Open.
Instead the 21-year-old fell in a gruelling five-set encounter with Botic van de Zandschulp, having also failed to serve out victory when he had the chance in the fourth set.
Three hours after holding match point the world No 87 was out, with van de Zandschulp battling back to win 3-6 6-7 (0-7) 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 in five hours and 13 minutes - the fourth-longest match on record in New York.
Gea had to go through qualifying as his ranking was not high enough to automatically qualify for the main draw at the time entry lists were published. He lost to Nishesh Basavareddy in the final round of qualifying but was granted a reprieve when former runner-up Casper Ruud withdrew with injury before the tournament began, taking the Norwegian's place.
Gea seized his opportunity by making the fourth round but could not get past world No 70 van de Zandschulp, although he may take some comfort in his prize money of $480,000 - more than seven times the $66,000 he had expected to earn through qualifying.

France's Arthur Gea was one point away from being the first lucky loser to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final - but three hours later he was out of the US Open.
Gea, 22, was unable to convert a match point in a third-set tie-break against Dutch opponent Botic van de Zandschulp, then could not serve out victory in the fourth set of a gruelling fourth-round contest.
Van de Zandschulp took full advantage to escape from the jaws of defeat, going on to secure a 3-6 6-7 (0-7) 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 win after five hours and 13 minutes - the fourth longest match on record at Flushing Meadows.
World number 87 Gea was not ranked high enough for the main draw when the US Open entry list was finalised, meaning he had to go through qualifying instead.
Seeded first, he lost to American Nishesh Basavareddy in the third and final round but earned a reprieve when 2022 finalist Casper Ruud withdrew injured on the eve of the tournament.

On August 5, OraSure Technologies (NASDAQ:OSUR) reported second-quarter 2026 results that included its first GAAP net income in years, a headline number of $6.2 million versus a $19.7 million loss a year earlier. Revenue of $30.6 million beat the company's own guidance range and climbed 9.7% from the prior quarter. But look past the top line and the story splits in two, one part driven by real operating progress, the other by an accounting adjustment tied to a regulatory setback.
Some of this quarter's improvement came from actual operations. Gross margin expanded to 43.5% on a GAAP basis, up from 42.1% a year earlier, and non-GAAP gross margin rose to 44.2% from 43.2%. Diagnostics revenue grew 1% year over year to $19.4 million, helped by higher syphilis test sales and the addition of BioMedomics' Sickle SCAN product line. OraSure also picked up two regulatory wins during the quarter. In June 2026, the FDA cleared its Colli-Pee Dx urine collection kit for use with Roche's **** ually transmitted infection tests, letting patients collect samples at home instead of in a clinic.
The following month, the FDA granted Emergency Use Authorization for the second-generation OraQuick Ebola 2.0 Rapid Antigen Test, which can detect all four Ebola virus strains known to cause disease in humans. Cash used in operating activities improved to $23.8 million over the first six months of 2026, down from $30 million a year earlier, a sign the cash burn is easing. The company also kept buying back stock, repurchasing $22 million of shares, or 7.7 million shares, against its $40 million authorization, retiring more than 10% of shares outstanding.
The GAAP profit that headlines this quarter didn't come from the business getting more profitable. It came almost entirely from a $22.6 million reduction in a contingent consideration liability, an accounting entry triggered when OraSure updated its regulatory submission plan for the CT/NG test on its Sherlock platform. Strip that adjustment out and the underlying trend looks different. Non-GAAP operating loss widened to $14.7 million from $13.2 million a year earlier, and non-GAAP net loss came in at $13.8 million, roughly in line with last year's $14.2 million loss. The regulatory event behind that accounting gain is itself a setback.
In July, OraSure withdrew its InteliQuick CT/NG molecular self-test submission after receiving FDA feedback, meaning the product's path to market is now delayed while the company prepares a future resubmission. Total revenue for the quarter was still down 2% year over year, and core revenue, which excludes COVID-19 and Risk **** sment Testing, was flat. Six-month revenue fell 4% to $58.6 million. Sample Management Solutions revenue stayed flat year over year at $9.9 million, showing no growth driver of its own. Cash and equivalents fell to $161 million at quarter-end from $199.3 million at the end of 2025, pulled down by continued buybacks and cash used in operations.

Anna Wintour has been in hot water of late. Last year, people weren't too happy that Jeff Bezos and his new wife were sponsors of the Met Gala. This year, she got a lot of pushback for her choice to honor John Galliano with a Costume Institute retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Even after Galliano withdrew, it seems like controversy isn't over for Wintour.
Hollywood insider Rob Shuter is reporting that Dolly Parton was pitched at least four times to be on the cover of American Vogue before her recent death at the age of 80, which Wintour declined each time.

Shavkat Rakhmonov hasn't competed since defeating Ian Machado Garry, essentially on one leg, after dealing with knee injuries for nearly two years.
Rakhmonov was slated to fight then-champ Belal Muhammad at UFC 310 in December 2024, but Muhammd withdrew due to injury. Rakhmonov, despite having a miniscus and ACL injury, remained on the card and faced Machado Garry in a No. 1 contender fight, winning a competitive decision.
In a rare interview, Rakhmonov discusses his injuries, and decision making, while also taking a shot at Khabib Nurmagomedov and current welterweight champ Islam Makhachev.
"Well that's my problem, I couldn't fight," Rakhmonov told Alf Global. "If I had fought, I could've become champion, but that's how it turned out. I was injured. What can I do? We are only human. We are bound to make plenty of mistakes. …
"I actually shouldn't even have fought Ian Garry at all. With injuries like that, I shouldn't have fought at all, I just took a risk. That's the Kazakh way. Kazakhs are very daring. They're not afraid. If it had been some other Dagestani fighter like Khabib or Islam Makhachev, they definitely would've refused."

Chelsea's interest in Lamine Camara has not gone away, and his latest display for Monaco has only intensified the feeling that this is a story with plenty left to run. According to TeamTalk, scouts from Chelsea and Liverpool were among a number of Premier League clubs in Paris on Friday night as Monaco claimed an eye-catching win over Paris Saint-Germain, with Camara playing a central part.
The backdrop made the performance even more significant. Camara had only just seen what was described as his "dream Deadline Day move to Chelsea collapse", after Monaco withdrew late despite an agreement having been reached. It left both player and buying club stunned, and it also left Chelsea needing to reassess after Enzo Fernandez's move to Manchester City earlier that same day created a major midfield vacancy.

There are moments when recruitment departments want to see a player's technical quality, and others when they want evidence of temperament. This appearance appeared to provide both. Camara returned to action under considerable emotional pressure and still delivered what was described as "a performance of real quality against one of Europe's strongest sides".
Against a PSG midfield featuring Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves and Vitinha, "arguably one of the finest midfield trios in club football", Camara "was able to more than hold his own and play a significant role in Monaco's victory". That detail matters. Clubs at the top end of the Premier League are not only buying talent, they are buying resilience, personality and the ability to cope with elite opposition.

BEEVILLE, Texas, Sept 4 (Reuters) - The makeup and toys on Valencia Macias' table are items people buy on impulse at discount stores. But on a sweltering summer day in South Texas, she is trying to sell them to turn them into gas money, grocery money, student loan money: any kind of money.
With three young children, a job as a medical ***** istant and nursing classes at night, the 26-year-old ‌has little time for politics. But when Texas officials withdrew funding for the only after-school program available in her rural town of George West, politics became impossible to ignore.
Then, a TikTok video appeared: A Mexican American ‌woman on the screen, Gina Hinojosa, talked about the high cost of living and badly needed investments in Texas public education. Macias stopped scrolling.
"With everything just getting so expensive and the gas and everything, it's really hard to just make do," Macias said. Seeing a mother and a woman who looks like her, Macias made up her mind: "100%, she has my vote."
Hinojosa, a Democratic state representative, is trying to end an electoral drought that has defined Texas politics for a generation: no Democrat has won statewide office in Texas since 1994.

Beyond the defeat to AS Monaco last Sunday, it was a bad way for Olympique de Marseille, who lost two players to injury. Geoffrey Kondogbia suffered a muscular injury and, as confirmed by Bruno Genesio, won't be fit to face Paris FC this weekend.
Tochukwu Nnadi sustained a more serious injury. The Nigerian only came on at half-time but did not see out the match. He withdrew with what looked to be a serious knee injury. An ACL injury was feared. The injury is indeed serious, and it is suspected that it is an ACL. Speaking to La Provence, Nnadi's agent revealed that many consultants advised immediate surgery.
However, he has opted against surgery in order to ensure a quicker return. "We are aware of the risks. We know that he could feel pain. We know that it won't be easy, but it is Nnadi's decision," said his agent, who added that the midfielder "could not abandon OM at such a time".
Genesio is lacking options in midfield. Speaking on Friday, he revealed that he had tested full-back Ulisses Garcia in the position.

Barcelona came closer to exploring an Aymeric Laporte transfer this summer than previously understood, with The Athletic revealing that the Spain international was interested in joining the Catalan club.
Laporte emerged as a potential solution to one of Barcelona's clearest recruitment priorities: finding a left-footed centre-back capable of filling the role previously occupied by Inigo Martinez.
As per the outlet, the club initially believed a deal could be possible for around €15 million.
However, that expectation changed once Athletic Club made their financial demands clear, which were considerably higher.
Barcelona considered the asking price too high and withdrew before the idea developed into formal negotiations, meaning Laporte never came particularly close to becoming a Barça player.

The anonymous leaker behind CyberLeek has reportedly pocketed roughly $350,000, according to on-chain ***** yst Conor Grogan. The funds allegedly came entirely from liquidity fees rather than direct sales.
The withdrawal coincided with a sharp price decline for the CYBERLEEK meme coin.
Grogan stated on September 1 that the person behind CyberLeek withdrew the funds through various OTC providers, a route that converts digital ***** ets into conventional money without requiring large open-market token sales.
That structure differs meaningfully from a typical launch-and-dump scheme. Rather than offloading large CYBERLEEK holdings directly, the wallet tied to the project reportedly profited by collecting fees whenever other traders transacted in its liquidity pool.

China's Bu Yunchaokete produced one of the US Open's most surprising results so far on Wednesday, drubbing rising Spanish star Rafael Jodar in straight sets.
Bu, ranked 124th, needed less than two hours to take down 12th-seeded Jodar, 6-2, 6-1, 6-1 in one of the most one-sided scorelines of this year's championships.
A native of Xinjiang, Bu lost in the final round of qualifying, but was granted a spot as a "lucky loser" when Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis withdrew with an injury.
Bu had finished his warmup Tuesday morning ahead of a planned flight that evening when he found out he could play. Now he's in the second round against American Michael Zheng, a two-time US collegiate champion.
"It's nothing you can lose with a lucky loser," Bu said after the match, describing his approach as "enjoy the crowd and enjoy the court and play one of the best players in this year."

Unseeded Bu Yunchaokete made history at the 2026 US Open on Wednesday. He became the first "lucky loser" to beat a top-15 seed at a tennis major in the Open Era, which began in 1968.
The term "lucky loser" represents the player who lost the final qualifying match for the major but still gets added to the field because players in the draw had to withdraw.
Yunchaokete replaced Thanasi Kokkinakis in the tournament and found out only on Tuesday that he would be playing the 12-seeded Rafal Jodar on Wednesday. Kokkinakis withdrew due to an ankle sprain and calf injury suffered at the Cincinnati Masters leading up to the US Open.
Jodar is ranked as the No. 13 men's tennis player in the world entering the tournament, but was not able to build any momentum on Wednesday. Yunchaokete didn't just pull off the upset; he dominated.
The 24-year-old allowed Jodar to win only four games in the match, advancing in straight sets 6-2, 6-1, 6-1.

Aug. 31 (UPI) -- The legal team for singer D4vd withdrew from his murder case Monday as he sought the services of a public defender.
The switch came during the arraignment of D4vd, whose birth name is David Burke. He and his former attorneys Blair Berk and Regina Peters informed the court and Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo that he will be using a public defender moving forward.
Walid Fouad Kandeel, Burke's new attorney, was in the gallery before being called forward by the judge to introduce himself to the court. He asked for a continuation of Monday's arraignment so he could better familiarize himself with the case but was denied.
Kandeel said in a statement that his client is "entitled to a defense that takes his circumstances seriously and carefully examines the evidence."
Burke was accused of killing a 14-year-old girl after her remains were found in the trunk of his abandoned car in September. The prosecution alleged that Burke stabbed the girl at his home in Hollywood.

PSG winger Ibrahim Mbaye (18) has eventually agreed to join Aston Villa, after the two clubs had thrashed out a €55m deal for the transfer of the Senegal international, according to RMC Sport. The player is expected to fly out to Birmingham this Saturday to undergo a medical and complete final formalities to sign for Unai Emery's UEFA Europa League winners. Mbaye is set to sign a five-year deal with the Villans.
RMC Sport understands that Aston Villa were long-time admirers of Mbaye. The Premier League side gradually made their interest known, until an agreement was found this Friday with PSG. RB Leipzig, Chelsea and Liverpool were also interested in making a move for Mbaye. The Reds withdrew from the race after PSG's initial demands approached €70m. Eventually, Aston Villa's outlay for Mbaye rises to €55m.
