DOJ directs US attorneys to seek to revoke citizenship of naturalized Americans over crime
The Justice Department issued a memo directing US attorneys to "prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings" as part of an effort by the Trump administration to crack down on crime. The memo from Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate states that denaturalization cases against "individuals who pose a potential danger to national security, including those with a nexus to terrorism, espionage, or the unlawful export from the United States of sensitive goods, technology, or information raising national security concerns" are one of the key priorities. "The benefits of civil denaturalization include the government's ability to revoke the citizenship of individuals who engaged in the commission of war crimes, extrajudicial killings, or other serious human rights abuses; to remove naturalized criminals, gang members, or, indeed, any individuals convicted of crimes who pose an ongoing threat to the United States; and to prevent convicted terrorists from returning to U.S. soil or traveling internationally on a U.S. passport," Shumate wrote. "The Department of Justice may institute civil proceedings to revoke a person's United States citizenship if an individual either 'illegally procured' naturalization or procured naturalization by 'concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation,'" he added in the June 11 directive. Shumate said the Justice Department's Civil Division should "prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence." The memo said attorneys should pursue denaturalization cases against individuals who "committed human trafficking, sex offenses, or violent crimes" and those who "engaged in various forms of financial fraud against the United States (including Paycheck Protection Program ('PPP') loan fraud and Medicaid/Medicare fraud)." It also calls for attorneys to initiate cases against "individuals who further or furthered the unlawful enterprise of criminal gangs, transnational criminal organizations, and drug cartels" and "individuals who engaged in fraud against private individuals, funds, or corporations." Overall, the memo lists ten priority categories for denaturalization. Two days after issuing the memo, the Justice Department said it "secured the denaturalization of a convicted collector and distributor of child sexual abuse material."

He hasn't played in MLB for more than two decades. One team is paying him $1.2 million a year until 2035
He hasn't picked up a professional baseball glove in 24 years, but he's still picking up a paycheck – and a hefty one at that. It's July 1, which for New York Mets fans means it's Bobby Bonilla Day. The former slugger retired in 2001 with the St. Louis Cardinals, but he has been collecting a check of nearly $1.2 million from the Mets every year on July 1 for more than a decade. The deal is part of a contract negotiated by Bonilla's agent Dennis Gilbert, which will pay Bonilla $1,193,248.20 every year until 2035. Bonilla, a former All-Star who last played with the Mets in 1999, will be 72 when his contract with the team expires. How was Gilbert able to secure such a sweet deal for his client? They can both thank disgraced financier Bernie Madoff and former Mets owner Fred Wilpon. The Mets wanted to part ways with Bonilla in 1999, but he had $6 million left on his contract. Wilpon believed he was getting a huge return on his investments through Madoff but the Mets owner turned out to be a victim of Madoff's infamous Ponzi scheme. Instead of paying Bonilla outright, Wilpon opted to defer payments so that the money could be unwittingly invested into Madoff's Ponzi scheme. Bonilla's agent Gilbert negotiated with the team to defer payments until 2011, with an 8% annual interest rate. Madoff was the mastermind of the most notorious Ponzi scheme in history. A Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud that uses funds from more recent investors to pay profits to earlier investors, leading them to believe that their investments are part of a successful enterprise. Madoff, who died in 2021, was serving 150 years in prison for the multibillion-dollar scheme that he ran for decades. In total, Bonilla will walk away with a $29.8 million payday because of Wilpon's blunder. Players being paid over a long period of time isn't uncommon in MLB, with contracts often deferring money down the line. Most notably recently, after the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Japanese two-way star Shohei Ohtani to a 10-year, $700 million contract in 2023, Ohtani decided to annually defer $68 million of his $70 million average salary. That means Ohtani will be paid $2 million a year over the contract and the deferrals – totaling $680 million – will begin in 2034. Starting then, Ohtani will receive $68 million per year from the Dodgers until 2043. The Dodgers have made deferring payments a common theme in recent times, also doing so when signing Blake Snell and Tommy Edman. But this idea has been around for a long time now, after it was first popularized by 'The Dolgoff Plan' in the 1960s when an accountant, Ralph Dolgoff, helped the American Basketball Association (ABA) compete with the NBA by allowing teams to offer payments spread over multiple years in an attempt to attract players with the appeal of long-term security. So while Mr. Bonilla is likely one of the most famous beneficiaries of deferred payment schemes, he is not the first and will most certainly not be the last.
