20 May, 10:18 PM "It would no doubt come as some surprise to many … that S&P's repeated assurances that its ratings were objective … were entitled to no more weight than an infomercial hawker's claim that his knife will outlast any other," the Justice Department says, referencing S&P's (MHFI) assertion that because statements about the independence of its ratings were described as "mere puffery" in a previous judgement, they can't form the basis for a lawsuit. The Justice Department asked a federal judge to allow a suit against the ratings agency to move forward Monday, after S&P filed for dismissal last month. Comment!

20 May, 7:07 PM Loopholes allowed Apple (AAPL) to avoid $44B in U.S. taxes from 2009-2012, claims a Senate report released shortly after Apple's official statement. Though peers have also been accused of using offshore havens, the report argues Apple went further by creating a subsidiary (responsible for ~1/3 of profits from 2009-11) that used differences in U.S. and Irish law to have no residence whatsoever. Sen. Carl Levin calls this "the Holy Grail of tax avoidance." Also, while Apple claims $6B in FY12 federal tax payments, the report claims the real number is $2.4B if one backs out deferred payments on foreign cash (only paid if/when the cash is repatriated) 49 Comments [Tech]
