A humongous log home in Montana offers plenty of seclusion, but sits just close enough to everything the Big Sky area has to offer. “It's on 160 acres in a conservation easement, and it's surrounded by 4,000 acres of conservation easement land. Beyond that is National Forest and wilderness area,” explains the listing agent, Michelle Horning of The Big Sky Real Estate Co. “So it's 160 acres—but it kind of feels like you're on thousands of acres.” Yet the rustic residence is only about 15 minutes from Big Sky Resort and Moonlight Basin, a rarity according to the agent. “Most of the time when you find these large tracts of land, you have to drive for a long time to get to them, and there are not many services nearby, so this is really special,” she says. On the market for $15 million, the 7,218-square-foot spread has had only one owner since it was built in 2016. “You walk in the front door, and you are instantly hit with these large windows in the great room that … [Read more...] about For $15M, a Majestic Montana Property Offers Views for Miles

ATLANTIC CITY — Atlantic City’s crumbling casino market disintegrated even further on Saturday as the owners of the Trump Plaza casino said they expect to shut down in mid-September. Trump Entertainment Resorts told The Associated Press that no final decision has been made on the Boardwalk casino. But the company said it expected the casino to close its doors on Sept. 16. Notices warning employees of the expected closing will go out to the casino’s 1,000-plus employees on Monday. If Trump Plaza closes, Atlantic City could lose a third of its casinos and a quarter of its casino work force in less than nine months. The Atlantic Club closed in January, the Showboat is closing next month and Revel might do likewise if a buyer cannot be found in bankruptcy court. Bob McDevitt, president of the local Unite-HERE union, Atlantic City’s main casino workers’ union, demanded state lawmakers help head off what he called a “pending catastrophe” that will affect the state’s tourism … [Read more...] about Atlantic City May Lose Another Casino

PRINCE Andrew went on a wild holiday with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell on which he reportedly visited red light district clubs and partied with topless women. The Duke of York , who was 40 years old at the time with two young children, was infamously pictured partying with topless women on a yacht in Phuket, Thailand. Ghislaine Maxwell is also reported to have accompanied them on the trip, being reported at the time to be staying at the same hotel as the Duke.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) a cap on lending rates of financing and lending companies, many of which operate online lending platforms, to prevent the charging of unconscionably high rates. This proposal was made in the same vein as BSP’s prevailing cap on interest rates charged by credit card issuers, and is also in line with the SEC’s crackdown against “abusive” and “predatory” online lending practices. Last year, the SEC issued a moratorium on the registration of new online lending platforms of financing and lending companies. The SEC is also drafting tighter guidelines for both existing and newly registered financing and lending companies as well as fintech companies that plan to offer credit and related services. SEC Commissioner Kelvin Lee said the cap for financing and lending firms would likely be higher than the 2 percent cap on monthly interest rates currently imposed on credit card lenders. “But I … [Read more...] about SEC wants cap on finance, lending firms’ loan rates
