  • Delaware court to Elon Musk: you still can't have $56 bln pay

    STORY: Elon Musk still can't have his $56 billion pay package. That was the ruling from a Delaware judge on Monday. The case involves the largest-ever compensation package at a U.S. public company.It also comes after Musk has become a close adviser of President-elect Donald Trump, and has been tasked to help slash U.S. government bureaucracy.The same judge, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, in January deemed the $56 billion pay package from Tesla excessive and rescinded it.Then in June, Tesla shareholders voted in favor of reinstating Musk's compensation.The automaker has said in court filings that McCormick should recognize the vote.But her 101-page opinion Monday said a ratification vote like the one Tesla used in June had to be conducted before the trial.And that Tesla's board was not entitled to hit "reset" to restore Musk's pay package.Many small-time investors and Musk fans promptly criticized the decision on social media. While Tesla said it would appeal. McCormick also blocked lawyers who brought the case from getting the $6 billion in fees they had demanded. Instead, she ordered Tesla to pay the attorneys $345 million - still one of the largest-ever awards in securities litigation. The sum of Musk's pay package has actually risen in line with Tesla shares - which have surged since Trump's election to office.His compensation is now worth about $101 billion.

    STORY: A court in Vietnam upheld a death sentence for real estate tycoon Truong My Lan on Tuesday (December 3).Lan was sentenced to death in April for her role in what was Vietnam's biggest financial fraud case on record.She had appealed against a conviction for embezzlement and bribery in the high-profile $12.5 billion case.But the High People's Court determined there was no basis to reduce Lan's death sentence, according to a Vietnamese online newspaper.The media report also said it is possible the sentence could be commuted to life imprisonment if Lan can return three-quarters of the money embezzled while on death row.The case is part of a years-long crackdown on corruption in a campaign locally known as “Blazing Furnace.”Lan, who was the chairwoman of Van Thinh Phat Holdings Group, still has the right to request a review under Vietnam's cassation or retrial procedures.Her arrest in 2022 sparked a run on Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank which was at the center of the fraud and largely owned by Lan through her proxies.Apart from the death sentence, Lan was handed a life sentence at a separate trial in October.She was found guilty of obtaining property by fraud, money laundering and illegal cross-border money transfers.
