Drummond: Cash App settlement will strengthen fraud protections for Oklahomans
Attorney General Gentner Drummond today announced Oklahoma's share of a $45 million multistate settlement with Block, Inc., the company behind Cash App. The settlement resolves allegations that Block misled consumers about the safety of the app, failed to protect users from fraud on the platform, and didn't provide the fraud protection and resolution that it promised and was requiredby law.
"Cash App told Oklahomans their money was safe while fraud on the platform was climbing and the company did nothing to stop it," said Drummond. "Companies that build a product around handling people's paychecks and benefits don't get to treat customer protection as optional. This settlement forces Block to actually deliver the safeguards it promised to the people who trusted it with their money."
Block marketed Cash App as safe - implying bank-level protections it didn't offer - while fraud on the platform climbed. The company also kept pushing consumers who didn't have a traditional bank account to rely on it as their primary financial account.
Block's own practices made fraud worse: minimal identity checks at sign-up made it easy for scammers to open accounts; the app had no phone support for years, leaving users to fall for fake support lines run by scammers; and a promotion called "Cash App Fridays" encouraged users to publicly post their account ID, which scammers exploited to pose as Cash App and steal login credentials. Users were left locked out of their own money for weeks at a time, with no recourse to recover stolen funds.
Under the settlement, Block must provide live customer support daily, stop misleading safety claims, end fraud-linked marketing practices like "Cash App Fridays," educate users on common scams, and investigate and reimburse fraud claims as required by law.
Oklahoma will receive almost $525,000 in the settlement.

TRENTON, New Jersey, July 16 -- New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport issued the following news release:

Attorney General Davenport Files Civil Complaint Against Pennsylvania Gun Show Owner for Endangering Public Safety
Vinroe Actively Attempting to Evade Accountability for Selling Ghost Gun Products to New Jerseyans
-
Attorney General Jennifer Davenport today announced that she is filing a civil lawsuit against Jordan Vinroe, the owner and operator of the JSD Supply and Eagle Shows ghost gun enterprise. Attorney General Davenport and the Statewide Affirmative Firearms Enforcement(SAFE) Office filed the lawsuit against Mr. Vinroe, a Pennsylvania resident, for intentionally and unlawfully selling to New Jersey residents kits and parts to create ghost guns--untraceable firearms that are illegal in New Jersey.
Today's lawsuit marks the latest step in the Office of the Attorney General's efforts to stop the supply of unlawful ghost guns into New Jersey. After the Office of the Attorney General, through SAFE, filed a prior civil enforcement action in December 2023 against Mr. Vinroe's holding companies for the JSD Supply and Eagle Shows businesses, Mr. Vinroe ultimately put the companies into bankruptcy rather than accept responsibility for his conduct. But while the 2023 complaint succeeded in shuttering those businesses, Mr. Vinroe continues to operate gun shows and other companies that sell ghost gun products to New Jerseyans. The complaint filed today seeks to stop Mr. Vinroe's unlawful conduct and hold him personally accountable.
"As the state's chief law enforcement officer, protecting the public from gun violence is my top priority. Untraceable ghost guns pose a clear and direct threat to public safety--especially because ghost guns are frequently the choice of those who are trying to evade our firearm laws and avoid background checks," said Attorney General Davenport. "Jordan Vinroe deliberately caters to this market. Our 2023 lawsuit put two of his companies out of business, but that hasn't stopped him from trying to evade accountability in new ways. Mr. Vinroe does not get to hide from our laws--which is why we're taking action today to hold him personally accountable for his role in endangering public safety by selling ghost gun products to New Jerseyans."
Unserialized firearms, commonly known as "ghost guns," are illegal in New Jersey. Nonetheless, operating the Eagle Shows gun show series and JSD Supply ghost gun parts business, Mr. Vinroe deliberately sold ghost gun products to New Jersey residents at gun shows he located near the New Jersey-Pennsylvania border. Mr. Vinroe specifically targeted New Jerseyans with regular billboards on the New Jersey Turnpike, luring across the river New Jersey customers who could not readily obtain ghost gun products otherwise.
As today's complaint alleges, Mr. Vinroe has actively sought to evade responsibility for his unlawful conduct. In response to the Office of the Attorney General's lawsuit against Mr. Vinroe's holding companies for the JSD Supply and Eagle Shows businesses, Mr. Vinroe put the companies into bankruptcy. But as the complaint explains, Mr. Vinroe still continues to operate gun shows and other companies that sell ghost gun products. The "new" Eastern Gun Expo, where Vinroe continues to be seen, runs the same gun shows in the same locations, on the same schedule, even using the same phone number as Vinroe's Eagle Shows gun shows.
Mr. Vinroe was the self-proclaimed largest retailer of ghost gun handgun frames in the country, and New Jersey law enforcement has arrested dozens of his New Jersey customers returning from his gun shows, often with parts to make numerous ghost guns at a time. He has been among the largest, if not the largest, suppliers of products to make ghost guns to New Jersey residents. He has extracted millions of dollars in personal profit.
"Jordan Vinroe deliberately targeted New Jerseyans to buy his illegal products to make illegal ghost guns," said SAFE Acting Director Jeremy Ershow. "Corporate bankruptcy does not shield people who personally engage in wrongdoing. Mr. Vinroe violated our laws and hurt our state, and we will hold him accountable."
Ghost guns are frequently recovered at crime scenes in New Jersey. Recent reports suggest that the number of ghost guns recovered at crime scenes in New Jersey increased eightfold between 2019 and 2022--from 55 in 2019 to 433 in 2022. Even after federal law changed in 2022 to classify ghost gun kits as firearms, ghost gun recoveries remain steady and high, with subsequent data showing recoveries averaging 251 annually from 2023 through 2025.
Today's complaint, filed in Superior Court in Mercer County, seeks an injunction to stop Mr. Vinroe's actions, monetary and punitive damages, and other relief, including the State's abatement cost of preventing further harm from Mr. Vinroe's products in New Jersey.
SAFE is a first-in-the-nation office with the specific mandate of bringing civil enforcement actions against firearm industry members to hold them accountable for violations of the law that harm the health and safety of New Jersey residents. For example, in December 2024, the Office of the Attorney General and SAFE sued Glock in connection with the ability to use its handguns as machine guns by inserting a "switch." In October 2025, the Office of the Attorney General and SAFE, along with the Division of Consumer Affairs, sued Sig Sauer in connection with product defects in its P320 pistol model that cause unintended discharge.
The Attorney General and SAFE are represented by Assistant Attorney General David Leit of the Division of Law's Special Litigation Section.

Decedent and Officer Identified in Police-Involved In-Custody Death in Greenbelt
The Independent Investigations Division (IID) of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General has identified the decedent and the Greenbelt Police Department (GPD) officer involved in the police-involved in-custody death that occurred on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, in Greenbelt, Prince George's County, Maryland.
The decedent is identified as 40-year-old Michael MacDougall of Frederick,Maryland.
The involved officer is identified as GPD Officer Tyler Fahey, a 4-year veteran. Officer Fahey is assigned to the Patrol Division.
The IID continues to investigate the circumstances of this police-involved in-custody death. Anyone with information about this incident, including cell phone or private surveillance video, is asked to contact the IID at (410) 576-7070 or by email at [email protected].

Attorney General Brown Calls on Federal Regulators to Deny Banking Charters for High-Risk or Predatory Financial Technology
Attorney General Anthony G. Brown joined a coalition of 20 attorneys general in sending a letter to federal banking regulators raising concerns about granting national banking charters to financial technology companies, often referred to as fintechs, without necessary safeguards to protect consumers, investors and the financial system. Theattorneys general call on regulators to deny charters to fintechs that have a history of predatory lending or risky practices.
In their letter to the leadership of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the attorneys generally observe that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of fintechs seeking to become banks in the last year, including cryptocurrency companies and peer-to-peer and other payment platforms.
Attorney General Brown and the coalition note that many of the companies seeking charters have a history of engaging in high-cost and predatory lending, in violation of state laws, and high-risk practices that threaten both consumers and the stability of the financial system. The attorneys general warn that giving these companies the status of national banks could enable them to circumvent state interest rate limits and other state consumer protections. It would also let some companies present themselves as banks to gain consumer trust without taking on the corresponding responsibilities of traditional banks, such as community reinvestment programs and robust compliance infrastructures.
The coalition's letter raises concerns that allowing companies with higher risk profiles - such as companies issuing cryptocurrency that could scale to trillions of dollars or offering risky financial products - to access national banking privileges will introduce systemic risk to the financial system without the corresponding safeguards that protect consumers and the market when traditional banks fail.
The coalition is calling on federal regulators to deny bank charters, bank holding company applications, bank mergers and acquisitions, deposit insurance, or other national banking privileges to fintech companies that have a history of excessively risky or predatory practices.
Joining Attorney General Brown in sending the letter are the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.

Consumers Who Bought Certain Generic Prescription Drugs in the United States Between May 1, 2009, and December 31, 2019, Could be Eligible for Compensation

Attorney General Anthony G. Brown today joined a coalition of 48 states and territories announcing a $29.6 million settlement with Glenmark to resolve allegations thatthe generic drug manufacturer engaged in a widespread, long-running conspiracy to artificially inflate and manipulate prices, reduce competition, and unreasonably restrain trade with regard to numerous generic prescription drugs.
As part of the settlement agreement, Glenmark will cooperate in the ongoing multistate litigations against 33 corporate defendants and 25 individual executives. The company has further agreed to an injunctive relief period of at least seven years. During this period, Glenmark will maintain an antitrust compliance program, report any potential antitrust violations directly to the attorneys general, and adopt a series of internal reforms to ensure fair competition and compliance with antitrust laws. Maryland's share of today's settlement is $178,000.
"For years, Glenmark colluded to drive up prices for drugs that are meant to be an affordable option, forcing Marylanders to pay inflated prices for medications they depend on," said Attorney General Brown. "This settlement provides monetary relief for those Marylanders and requires Glenmark to reform its conduct so competition, not collusion, sets the price Marylanders pay."
The Glenmark settlement follows multistate settlements with Lannett, Bausch, Apotex and Heritage totaling $66.95 million. This latest settlement comes as the states prepare for the first trial to be held in Hartford, Connecticut and anticipated to be scheduled in early 2027.
If you purchased a generic prescription drug manufactured by either Glenmark, Lannett, Bausch, Apotex or Heritage between May 2009 and December 2019, you may be eligible for compensation. To determine your eligibility, call 1-866-290-0182 (Toll-Free), email [email protected] or visit www.AGGenericDrugs.com.
The Maryland Office of the Attorney General is part of a coalition of nearly all states and territories having filed a series of antitrust cases, starting in 2016. The first complaint included Heritage and 17 other corporate defendants, two individual defendants, and 15 generic drugs. Two former executives from Heritage Pharmaceuticals, Jeffery Glazer and Jason Malek, have since entered into settlement agreements and are cooperating. The second complaint was filed in 2019 against Teva Pharmaceuticals and 21 of the nation's largest generic drug manufacturers. The complaint names 16 individual senior executive defendants. The third complaint, to be tried first, focuses on 80 topical generic drugs that account for billions of dollars of sales in the United States and names 26 corporate defendants and 10 individual defendants. Seven additional pharmaceutical executives have been cooperating to support the states' claims.
The cases all stem from a series of investigations built on evidence from several cooperating witnesses at the core of the different conspiracies, a massive document database of over 20 million documents, and a phone records database containing millions of call detail records and contact information for over 600 sales and pricing individuals in the generics industry. Each complaint addresses a different set of drugs and defendants, and lays out an interconnected web of competing industry executives that met with each other during industry dinners and outings, and communicated via frequent telephone calls, emails and text messages that sowed the seeds for their unlawful agreements. Throughout the complaints, defendants use terms like "fair share," "playing nice in the sandbox," and "responsible competitor" to describe how they unlawfully discouraged competition, raised prices, and enforced an ingrained culture of collusion. Among the records obtained by the states is a two-volume notebook containing the contemporaneous notes of one of the states' cooperators that memorialized his discussions during phone calls with competitors and internal company meetings over a period of several years.
Joining Attorney General Brown in today's settlement with Glenmark include the states and territories of Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, U.S. Virgin Islands, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and Puerto Rico.

Attorney General Jay Jones talked to WDBJ7's Kate Capadonno about a new state law that gives the Office of the Attorney General more power to hold bad actors accountable for the illegal sale of vape and tobacco products. AG Jones highlighted how his office will use the new authority to crack down on illegal products and keep vape and tobacco products out of the handsof minors.
WDBJ7: Roanoke targets smoke shops with new zoning rules, state enforcement
On July 1, a new state law took effect giving the Virginia Attorney General's Office expanded authority to hold vape and tobacco businesses accountable.
The law requires convenience stores to obtain a permit to sell vape and tobacco products and directs the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage and Control Authority to conduct regular inspections, including random underage checks and verification that stores are selling only approved products.
Attorney General Jay Jones said his office is prepared to act on the new authority.
"If you are pushing a product that is illegal, we are going to step in and we are going to hold you accountable. If you are breaking the law, we are going to hold you accountable. That's what we are going to do," Jones said.
Jones said the state views zoning efforts by localities as part of a broader partnership.
"We certainly want to see localities lead. And we know that they know their communities best," Jones said. "This is a state and local partnership at its core."

SALEM, Oregon, July 16 -- Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield issued the following news release:

AG Rayfield Announces Multistate Settlement of Bankruptcy Claims Against 23andMe Over Genetic Data Breach
*
Attorney General Dan Rayfield and a coalition of 41 other attorneys general today announced a settlement with the bankruptcy trustee for 23andMe, resolving allegations stemming from a 2023 data breach that compromised the genetic data of 6.9 million customers worldwide. The settlement includes $150 million in allowed claims for states.
"Think about what people were trusting 23andMewith - not a password you can reset, not a credit card you can cancel, but the code that makes you who you are," said Attorney General Rayfield. "When the company discovered its defenses had failed, its first instinct was to point fingers at customers instead of owning what had happened."
Due to the finite amount of funds in the bankruptcy estate and numerous other claims, recovery is limited to $18 million but will be paid out of available bankruptcy funds immediately. Of the $18 million, Oregon will receive $576,707. Also, 23andMe agreed to a $46.75 million class-action settlement in the bankruptcy to provide relief to affected U.S. consumers who previously submitted claims by February 17, 2026.
In October 2023, direct-to-consumer genetic testing company 23andMe announced that it had discovered a data breach in which 6.9 million consumers were affected, including 125,069 in Oregon. This data breach exposed a wide range of data about 23andMe customers, including in some cases genetic ancestry information, and subsets of this data were subsequently published for sale on the dark web.
23andMe learned about the breach months after impacted personal information was publicly available. 23andMe first denied a breach and then, once it confirmed the breach, blamed consumers for how their accounts were set up or how passwords were used. 23andMe initially accepted no responsibility for the credential stuffing breach, where stolen credentials are made available on the dark web, which was particularly egregious considering 23andMe's partnership with MyHeritage, which itself was compromised years prior to the breach, exposing thousands of credentials shared between the websites.
In the immediate aftermath of the data breach the Attorneys General formed a multistate investigation and found that 23andMe engaged in unreasonable data security practices, including, but not limited to:
* Failing to employ safeguards against credential stuffing attacks (where stolen credentials are input into other websites by hackers, hoping users have "reused" them), including comparing passwords against blocklists of known breached passwords or requiring multifactor authentication;
* Failing to implement appropriate rate limiting or intrusion prevention;
* Failing to implement logging and monitoring or other tools likely to detect a data breach;
* Failing to appropriately investigate and/or address unusual login in patterns, including, for example, a massive spike in login attempts;
* Failing to remediate known vulnerabilities; and
* Failing to properly review and test design features.
In March 2025, 23andMe filed for bankruptcy protection, and states subsequently filed claims related to the data breach investigation. As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, the assets - notably 23andMe's consumer data - were sold to TTAM Research Institute, a non-profit formed by 23andMe founder and former CEO Anne Wojcicki. The terms of the sale included many information and data security requirements that likely would have been included in a settlement with 23andMe had it not filed for bankruptcy. Such terms included enhanced data security requirements, appropriate risk analysis, the addition of an Advisory Board, agreeing to be bound by comprehensive privacy laws without exception, and continuing to offer consumer deletion rights. These terms will make sure that TTAM Research Institute, now reregistered as 23andMe Research Institute, will be a safer custodian of genetic data moving forward.
Attorney General Rayfield joined the attorneys general of Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and West Virginia in today's settlement.
