A Texas lawmaker subsequently threatened Citigroup with legislation preventing the bank from underwriting municipal bonds in the state. Citigroup announced its plan to cover travel costs in a regulatory filing last month one of the first companies to do so.
The San Francisco-based company has a little over 200 employees in Texas, but will be relevant to employees in other states as more restrictive legislation is passed. Yelp's policy, which currently covers abortion care, goes into effect next month. "When we’re talking about women’s advancement in their careers, trying to diversify boardrooms to see more women in them, and you look at these restrictions, they are absolutely intertwined in a way that I think is very damaging,” Warren said. Yelp's Chief Diversity Officer Miriam Warren told the Wall Street Journal that the insurance expansion is in response to the Texas law, which she said limits equality.

Six months later, women in Texas have turned to self-managed abortions and flooded clinics outside the state. Officials said 25,000 of those bitcoin were transferred from Lichtenstein's digital wallet into the couple's financial accounts over the past five years. The couple allegedly stole 120,000 bitcoin, worth $4.5 billion, and the Justice Department has reclaimed $3.6 billion of that amount. Officials said the case is the largest financial seizure in the department's history - a feat largely attributable to the enormous run-up in the price of bitcoin in the period between the initial hack and the arrests in the case. The stolen tokens were worth about $72 million at the time. After a hacker breached Bitfinex and initiated 2,000 unauthorized transactions in August 2016, the bitcoin was sent to Lichtenstein's digital wallet. Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan, the husband and wife charged with conspiring to launder the bitcoin, were arrested in New York Tuesday. The Justice Department seized $3.6 billion in bitcoin that was stolen in a hack of crypto exchange Bitfinex in 2016, officials said Tuesday.
The wheels of justice grind slowly, but sometimes that means a 50x return.
