- Warren urges DOJ criminal probe of Bank of America over anti-money-laundering violations
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is urging the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into Bank of America and its executives after the bank admitted willfully violating federal anti-money-laundering laws. She called the more than $1.2 billion in penalties imposed on October 13 a “slap on the wrist” and asked Attorney General Todd Blanche to decide whether criminal charges are warranted, giving the DOJ until November 12 to respond. As part of a settlement with the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the bank admitted it failed to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions in a timely manner, with over $1 billion tied to national-security and other high-priority risks. Regulators imposed penalties including a record $750 million fine from the OCC, but no criminal charges were filed. Warren argues civil fines have become “the cost of doing business on Wall Street,” while the bank says it has invested billions in compliance and is “far along” in fixing the problems.
- Tiger Gold Drills 450.9 m @ 0.6 g/t Au from Surface at Ceibal and Steps Out 175 m to the Southwest
Tiger Gold reported assays from hole CEDDH-022 at its Ceibal target in the Quinchía Gold Project in Colombia, which intersected 450.9 m grading 0.6 g/t Au from surface and ended in mineralization. Higher-grade intervals included 9 m grading 1.4 g/t Au from 288 m downhole and 8 m grading 1.3 g/t Au from 434 m downhole. CEDDH-022 is the fourth hole on its section line to return a long interval of gold mineralization from at or near surface. Step-out hole CEDDH-029, collared 175 m southwest of CEDDH-022, has assays pending, and three rigs are drilling at Ceibal with results pending from 14 holes. The drilling is intended to support a maiden Mineral Resource estimate as part of an expanded PEA for the project.
- OpenAI Now Makes Up 11% of Microsoft's Revenue
In its quarterly filing for the three months ended September 30, submitted to the SEC on October 28, Microsoft reported $10.0 billion of revenue from OpenAI, about 10.8% of its $92.279 billion total. The figure includes revenue-sharing payments and commercial arrangements beyond Azure cloud purchases, and OpenAI is treated as a related party because Microsoft owns enough of it to count its share of OpenAI's results under the equity method. OpenAI's receivables rose to $7.2 billion at September 30 from $6.0 billion at June 30, while Microsoft's stake fell to an approximate 24% on an as-converted basis from about 25%. Revenue grew 19% and Azure grew 48%, and the article suggests growth would likely still look strong without OpenAI.
- AI build-out hits snag as Google and Microsoft put off raising capex forecasts
Microsoft and Alphabet both reported capital expenditure figures below analyst estimates. Microsoft cut its full-year capex forecast to $170 billion from $175 billion, while Alphabet held its guidance at $195–205 billion. Microsoft CFO Amy Hood said delays from third-party GPU providers will push some available capacity into the first half of 2027, and Alphabet said outside computing power came online only at the end of Q3. Shares of CoreWeave, Nebius, IREN and Oracle fell after the reports, and Alphabet dropped about 10% after hours on missed earnings and revenue and negative free cash flow of more than $9 billion. Hyperscaler capex is still expected to top $1 trillion next year, and Cantor raised its one-year price target on Microsoft to $630 from $608.
- Voting on a 'hard-to-earn reward', Chairman Nguyễn Đức Tài says bluntly: "If shareholders think these men are taking too much, they will vote no"
Shareholders of Điện Máy Xanh (DMX, HoSE) approved issuing up to 100 billion VND in bonds with warrants for 15 senior managers, with a 5-year term and an 8% fixed annual coupon. Each 100-million-VND bond carries 100 warrants, each allowing the purchase of 1,267 DMX shares at 74,000 VND per share, for up to about 126.7 million new shares (around 10% of shares outstanding), and the warrants are activated only when profit targets are met and DMX outperforms the VN30 index. Before the vote, a shareholder asked about the list of managers, and Chairman Nguyễn Đức Tài said parent company MWG would not vote and wanted independent shareholder views, adding that a fixed list is a drawback compared with an ESOP. CEO Đoàn Văn Hiểu Em said the program covers only 15 people, with targets of doubling revenue and tripling profit, and that issuance is capped at 3% per year and 10% over five years.
- This Under-the-Radar Utility Just Signed a Massive Data Center Deal Without Anyone Noticing
Black Hills (BKH), a South Dakota utility with a market cap of about $6 billion, agreed earlier this month to sell 590 megawatts of electricity to Alphabet to power a nearby data center through 2048. To serve the contract, it plans to invest $1.8 billion in 564 megawatts of new natural gas generation, bringing total potential output to 2.7 gigawatts. The company says the deal should produce about $150 million in net income in 2030 and $2.4 billion in free cash flow over its lifetime, after accounting for the $1.8 billion in capital expenditures. The article notes that Alphabet is building a new data center in Cheyenne, a market Black Hills Energy already serves, and that the company has raised its dividend every year for the past 56 years.
