Turkish Banker Conspired to Evade U.S. Sanctions
Turkish banker, Mehmet Hakan Atilla, who aided the Government of Iran in evading United States sanctions, was recently convicted following a bench trial in the Southern District of New York. Mr. Atilla was convicted of conspiracies to defraud the United States, to commit bank fraud, to commit money laundering, and to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), along with one substantive count of bank fraud.
Beginning in 1979, under the IEEPA, the U.S. President found that Iranian Government's policies constituted an extraordinary threat to national security, foreign policy, and the economy of the United States. Accordingly, the United States instituted numerous economic sanctions against Iran and Iranian entities to combat that threat. The sanctions prohibited, among other things, financial transactions involving the United States or United States persons and the Government of Iran or Iranian entities.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
