Charli Collier Is the No. 1 Pick in the W.N.B.A. Draft

Charli Collier, a center from the University of Texas, was selected No. 1 over all by the Dallas Wings in the W.N.B.A. draft held virtually on Thursday, fulfilling the dream of her late father that she be the top pick. Collier, who is from Texas and was widely projected to be the first pick, averaged 19 points and 11.3 rebounds per game in the 2020-21 season.

Collier, surrounded by her mother, brother and boyfriend, pointed to the sky as she was announced as the first pick.

“We sat down in the hospital bed, and we wrote down goals,” she said, referring to her father, Elliott. “This was one of them. He’s here with me.”

The Wings had the No. 2 pick and added the No. 1 pick in a trade with the Seattle Storm, which had acquired the top selection in a trade with the Liberty. It was the first time in league history that one team had the top two picks. This will be the W.N.B.A.’s 25th season.

Last season was played in a bubble environment — fondly referred to as the “wubble” — at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., because of the pandemic. This season will be played in teams’ home cities, some with a limited number of fans, in accordance with local health officials’ recommendations.

The season tips off on May 14, when the Liberty host the Indiana Fever at Barclays Center. Each team will play 32 games in the regular season, down from usual 36, with reduced travel because of the pandemic. The league, which has been ahead of others in discussions about social justice, plans to continue those efforts this season, W.N.B.A. Commissioner Cathy Engelbert told reporters on Tuesday.

“The players want to be about change, and they want to have their hand in that change,” she said. “Whether it’s civic engagement or voting rights or health equity or other issues that many of them are passionate about, I really look forward to seeing what they do this year and handling any crises that come our way.”

Engelbert also said that the league was open to expanding, as women’s sports have gained more attention in recent years. Viewership of the 2020 W.N.B.A. finals was up 15 percent year over year, according to ESPN. The draft came as the spotlight had turned toward inequities between men’s and women’s athletics, with a focus on differences in facilities, testing and meals at the men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments.

RBS pays out 33.4 million to settle US fraud claims linked to mortgage-backed securities

The Royal Bank of Scotland has paid out $44 million (£33.4 million) to settle a US criminal investigation that accused its traders of lying to customers over bond prices.

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) said RBS would pay a $35 million penalty (£26.7 million), and compensation of around $9 million (£6.8 million) to more than 30 victims, after entering into a non-prosecution agreement.

The probe targeted a fraud scheme stretching from 2008 to 2013, which aimed to boost profits by defrauding customers over trades in residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and collateralised loan obligations (CLOs).

US Attorney Deirdre Daly said: “For years, RBS fostered a culture of securities fraud.

“Those in a position of authority taught and encouraged fraudulent trading practices. Worse, those supervisors and compliance personnel then took steps to prevent victims and honest RBS employees from discovering and exposing the scheme.

“After our joint investigation into fixed income trading began, RBS saw the error of its ways.

“RBS was able to avoid criminal charges in this case only because of its voluntary self-reporting and extraordinary co-operative efforts.

“By entering into this agreement, RBS has admitted the seriousness of its past criminal conduct and made a clean break.”

Among the victims of the fraud scheme were Barclays, Citigroup, Elliott Associates, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.

While the non-prosecution agreement focuses on mortgage securities traded in the secondary market, the bank is still awaiting a potential settlement with US DoJ over claims it mis-sold mortgage bonds in the primary market leading up to the 2008 banking crisis.

A spokesman for RBS said: “Having identified misconduct and self-reported the matter to the authorities, RBS has extensively co-operated with this investigation.

“Two former managing directors have pleaded guilty, and RBS has zero tolerance for market misconduct.

“We will pay restitution to all impacted customers. We are pleased to be able to resolve this issue as we continue to build a simpler, stronger bank that is fully focused on serving our customers well.”

The announcement comes after the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said on Monday it may take action against RBS despite dismissing “serious allegations” about how the lender treated small business customers inside the Global Restructuring Group (GRG).

Shares in RBS closed up 0.3% on the London Stock Exchange.
