OXFORD GRAY NORTH AMERICA CORP ("OXFORD GRAY") RECENTLY FILED BREACH OF CONTRACT LAWSUIT FOR OVER $9 MILLION AGAINST AUSTIN, TEXAS-BASED COMPANY, FINTIV, ALSO KNOWN AS MOZIDO, OWNED AND LED BY MICHAEL LIBERTY ["Liberty"]

WASHINGTON, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oxford Gray Corporation recently filed a lawsuit in Austin, Texas, for over $9 million for breach of contract against the Austin-based company, Fintiv (also known as 'Mozido'), which Michael Liberty led and controlled. [See HERE. Case D-1-G-N-25-004633, 6/27/2025, Travis County, Texas, 345th Travis Co. Texas] Allegations by Oxford Gray in the Austin case Fintiv, the Austin, Texas-based company, formerly known as 'Mozido,' led and controlled by Michael Liberty, borrowed a total of $5 million under a series of Promissory Notes ('Notes') evidencing loans by plaintiff Oxford Gray Corp. to Fintiv. The notes were subject to payment of principal and interest due as per the repayment schedule set forth in the Notes. Oxford Gray alleges in the recently filed Texas case that Fintiv defaulted on timely payments under the Notes and therefore is in breach of contract and owes more than $9 million in unpaid principal and interest due under the Notes. For Texas case, see HERE. In a separate case filed in October 2024 in Florida, Oxford Gray alleges that Michael Liberty signed a personal guaranty for one of the Promissory Notes at issue in the Austin case and is requiring Liberty to honor his personal guarantee of that Note. See HERE. Icarus Cap. Corp. and Oxford Gray Corp. v. Fintiv and Michael Liberty, individual, 5-21-2025, #223582, Fla. 9th Judicial Cir., Orange Co. Fla, Case No. 2024 CA 009041-O. The complaint filed in Texas begins as follows, to provide context for the case: 'This case stems from Fintiv's failure to repay a series of promissory notes entered into with Oxford Gray…as part of what the U.S. Department of Justice described as a 'scheme to defraud' investors that resulted in a 2019 criminal indictment of Liberty.' Oxford Gray attached a copy of the Liberty criminal indictment as an exhibit to, and relevant to, the Oxford Gray / Austin, Texas case. See February 27, 2019, Maine federal indictment of Michael Liberty HERE. However, Lanny J. Davis, a Washington D.C. attorney and outside legal advisor to the plaintiff in the case, Oxford Gray North America Corp., said it is only fair to point out that Mr. Liberty's 2019 indictment and a 2016 prior guilty plea for violating federal campaign finance laws were both discharged as a result of the February 2021 pardon of Mr. Liberty by President Trump. See President Trump's pardon of Mr. Liberty HERE. Davis also pointed out that the presidential pardon does not interrupt an ongoing 2018 civil enforcement case against Liberty by the US Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') alleging a 'scheme to defraud' -- nor block the continuation of this breach of contract case filed by Oxford Gray in Austin, Texas. See SEC complaint filed against Michael Liberty for scheme to defraud investors and other allegations HERE. Davis added: 'My client Oxford Gray hopes and believes that justice will be done and that Mr. Liberty will be required to comply with his written personal guarantee of loans made to Fintiv.' Attorney Lanny Davis is a legal advisor to the plaintiff Oxford Gray North America Corp. He is a Washington D.C. attorney, founder of the law firm Lanny J. Davis & Associates, has been a practicing attorney for more than 40 years, and also served as a White House Special Counsel to President Bill Clinton and served on a bipartisan privacy and civil liberties panel appointed by President George W. Bush. View original content: SOURCE Oxford Gray North America Corp.

‘I Want to Clear My Name': Deported Migrant Takes First Step to Sue the U.S.

‘I Want to Clear My Name': Deported Migrant Takes First Step to Sue the U.S.

A Venezuelan migrant took the first step on Thursday toward suing the United States for what he says was his wrongful detention and removal to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Neiyerver Adrián Leon Rengel, 27, spent four months in the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, where he said he was beaten and abused. He filed an administrative claim on Thursday with the Homeland Security Department, accusing U.S. immigration agencies of removing him without due process. It is the first such claim to be filed by one of the 252 Venezuelan men who were expelled and sent to El Salvador in March, his lawyers said, and is a necessary step before taking legal action against the U.S. government in federal court. Mr. Rengel, who is seeking $1.3 million in damages, was released last week as part of a large-scale prisoner swap between Venezuela and the United States. He is now living in Venezuela. 'I want to clear my name,' he said in a phone interview late Wednesday from his home in the state of Miranda. 'I am not a bad person.' The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately comment on Mr. Rengel's claim. The detention of Venezuelan men in El Salvador in March was one of the first high-profile efforts to fulfill President Trump's campaign promise of mass deportations. His administration has accused the migrants of belonging to a Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, and his administration has used the Alien Enemies Act, a rarely invoked wartime law, to justify capturing and removing many of the men to El Salvador.

Trump Ally Sues Powell Demanding FOMC Meeting Public Access

An investment firm headed by a supporter of President Donald Trump sued Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and other Fed officials demanding public access to monetary policy meetings. James Fishback's Azoria Capital said in a suit filed Thursday that the decades-old practice of holding Federal Open Market Committee meetings behind closed doors violates government transparency laws. The fund asked a federal court in Washington to require the Fed to open its July 29-30 meeting.
