N.J. presses Supreme Court not to hear PennEast Pipeline case after feds throw support behind it
Updated Jan 14, 2021;

The Federal Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled in September 2019 that the PennEast Pipeline cannot seize New Jersey-owned land in order to build the gas line.

State Attorney General announces further actions in investment scheme
New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal has announced several actions by the New Jersey Bureau of Securities in its ongoing investigation of the now-defunct First Standard Financial Company, LLC, of Red Bank, a broker-dealer whose agents defrauded customers as part of an excessive trading scheme, according to a press release.
In early December, First Standard agreed to relinquish the lion’s share of its liquid assets – about $400,000 – to provide restitution to investors. The bureau previously revoked First Standard’s broker-dealer registration after finding that First Standard was complicit in its agents’ unlawful conduct, and took action against a number of the agents individually, according to the press release.

His father, Mark, was also shot but survived.
