A Hunt For Lost Bitcoin Millions, EEOC Teases Out FY 2024 Litigation Stats, And A Work-Life Balance Survey

Attorneys Jack McCalmon, Leslie Zieren, and Emily Brodzinski discuss an unusual UK lawsuit filed in which one man is trying to force the local city council to allow him to deploy robot dogs in a landfill to find a hard disk with more than $647M in "accidentally thrown out" bitcoin.

The EEOC teases the trio with a press release of its FY 2024 litigation statistics. They frame the highlights, spotlight a few of the findings as well as what trends employers need to be wary of going forward.

A survey asks 2000 UK employees whether they can "switch off" from work and avoid the horrible triad of stress, anxiety, or burnout. The trio asks what does this all mean?
