Spotify Co-Founders Earn $900 Million in Stock Payouts in 2024 Amid $100 Billion Valuation SurgeChandigarh: Former AAP leader HS Phoolka is likely to make a comeback to active politics after his resignation from the Punjab assembly as the Dakha MLA was accepted in 2019. A WhatsApp message from Phoolka to mediapersons on Monday said, “H S Phoolka, senior advocate, will meet the press on Tuesday. Phoolka will also announce his plans of joining politics.” Earlier, Phoolka had started his political innings by unsuccessfully contesting the 2014 Lok Sabha elections on an AAP ticket from Ludhiana. Later, he was elected from Dakha in 2017 and was appointed the Leader of Opposition (LOP), a post he gave up to focus on the 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases after the first session of the assembly. In Jan 2018, Phoolka had resigned from AAP and handed over his resignation to party chief Arvind Kejriwal. Phoolka had said his only reason to quit as the LoP in the Punjab assembly was to fight the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition.

Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Chipotle's portion sizes were inconsistent and left many customers dissatisfied with the Company's offerings; (2) in order to address the issue and retain customer loyalty, Chipotle would have to ensure more generous portion sizes, which would increase cost of sales; and (3) as a result, defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

A.SAN ANTONIO — Deion Sanders will get emotional if he thinks about it too much, but the final chapter of a nearly two decades-long era coaching his sons ends Saturday. It’s something he’s reflected on plenty in recent weeks, since he saw the final seconds ticking off the clock in the regular season finale against a Oklahoma State — a 52-0 win in his last game in Boulder coaching Shedeur, Shilo and Travis Hunter, who may as well be the fourth Sanders son at this point. Colorado’s Travis Hunter, right, and coach Deion Sanders embrace after Hunter won the Heisman Trophy as the outstanding player in college football, Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024, in New York. "I've been trying to shy away from that moment because I knew the last home game was the last home game, but (it) wasn't the last game,” Sanders said. “But this is it.” From youth football through college, Sanders has been by his kids’ side every step of the way. He had not planned on going into coaching but didn’t like the way his kids were being coached at the youth level. He hasn’t stopped since. “You know how long this journey has been with my kids?” Sanders said. With his sons heading off to the NFL after Colorado’s Alamo Bowl matchup against BYU Saturday, Coach Prime is sticking around with the Buffaloes. He wants to continue coaching due to the thousands of kids he’s worked with over the years that don’t have the name “Sanders” on the back of their jerseys. Colorado coach Deion Sanders speaks during a news conference before the 2024 Alamo Bowl against BYU on Friday, Dec. 27, 2024 at the Alamodome in San Antonio. “This is a tremendous calling that God placed in my life to be around these kids, raise these kids to such a level as this,” Sanders said Friday at the Alamodome. The examples are all over the CU roster. There’s Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig, a safety and team captain who began playing for Sanders in high school before following him to Jackson State and then CU. There’s Jimmy Horn Jr., a wide receiver from Florida who was one of the first transfers to join the Buffs in late 2022. The two once visited Horn’s father in prison in Florida. There’s Ben Finneseth and Charlie Offerdahl, a current and former walk-on who are part of the small but important group of Original Buffs (“OBs”) that remain from the pre-Sanders era at CU.

(AP Photo/Rob Gray) There’s Brendan Gant and Travis Jay, a pair of defensive players who came from Sanders’ alma mater, Florida State, and built a relationship with their head coach despite not seeing as much time on the field as they had envisioned. “We've all had moments in my office or on the field that could bring you to tears,” Sanders said. “It's unfortunate that they're moving on, but you pray that you poured into them enough that when they move on they move up. They're not just passing by. They move on and they move up. You've blessed them with knowledge and support and love and compassion in those moments.” If you want to know why Sanders coaches, that’s it right there. Coach Prime might get emotional on his pregame walk with Shedeur from midfield to the goal line and back and when he sees Shilo and Travis making plays on defense.

(AP Photo/Rick Scuteri) But he hasn’t lost sight of the journey to this point — and what’s to come. “I'm thankful that Rick (George) gave me the opportunity (at CU),” Sanders said. “We wouldn't have had a Heisman Trophy winner, a guy (that will be picked) in the first or second pick of the whole draft (and) several other guys (who) are definitely going to get drafted. It wouldn't have happened if I wouldn't have accepted that calling. So I'm thankful with the opportunities afforded to me. I'm thankful to be here, period.”
Freiburg survives late onslaught to beat Wolfsburg in Bundesliga thrillerFor the past decade, Deadpool has become an unlikely success story as the raunchy outsider upended Hollywood norms, broke box office records and reached new heights with this summer’s $1.3 billion grosser, . The character also transformed Ryan Reynolds into one of the biggest movie stars in the world. But more quietly, the man who birthed Deadpool has parlayed that success into rewards almost unheard of for any comic book creator. Over the past year, writer-artist capitalize on the cachet from the character with a multiple deals involving producers and studios hoping to find “the next Deadpool.” In April, ahead of ’s July opening, Warner Bros. picked up the rights to , based on a fallen angel character cast down to Earth comic from the 1990s. The A-list package has Olivia Wilde attached to direct and Margot Robbie and Simon Kinberg attached to produce. That deal involved a $2 million payday for Liefeld for the purchase price, according to multiple sources. And while it was a sign of how strongly Warners wanted to remain in the Robbie business after last year’s , having a comic by Liefeld gave the package extra heft. Then in October, Liefeld accomplished something that had escaped him for decades: securing the movie and publishing rights to Youngblood under one roof. It was a personal victory, as it was the very first comic published by Image Comics, the company Liefeld co-founded with other superstar artists who defected from Marvel in the early 1990s. To make the deal, Liefeld made peace with Scott M. Rosenberg, a publisher and producer whose claim to fame was turning an obscure black and white indie comic titled into a hit Will Smith movie. Rosenberg also held certain rights to Young Blood creations, a point that bedeviled Liefeld for years. With that issue settled, Liefeld and Rosenberg then teamed with producer Adrian Askarieh to begin setting up the IP. The trio took meetings at CAA, WME, UTA and Range Media in October, hyping the title as the last great superhero comic that isn’t taken. The trio ultimately signed with CAA for the endeavor. Those two developments are on top of the royalties Liefeld enjoys from the surge of Deadpool’s popularity. Liefeld has a deal unique among creators of Marvel and DC characters. Some enjoy royalties for certain books or receive discretionary bonuses for movie or TV usage from the companies (Marvel pays some creators $5,000 for character’s a movie appearance, for example). But Liefeld receives payment any time Deadpool appears onscreen, in merch, in video games and in comics. It’s a deal that not even Stan Lee, the late co-creator of Spider-Man and Iron Man, benefited from. Nor Jim Starlin, co-creator of Thanos, Gamora and Shang-Chi, or Todd McFarlane, co-creator of Venom. “When Deadpool exploded into Fortnite, was that really good for my kids’ private education? Yes. Yes, it was,” he told in an 2020 interview. “I have Deadpool revenue streams that have existed since 1991.” In some ways, 2024 is an unlikely third act for Liefeld. Liefeld burst onto the comics scene as a wunderkind creator, only in his early 20s when he led the Marvel comic from a low-selling title on the verge of cancelation to revitalizing it in such a way that when it was relaunched over a year later as , the first issue sold a record four million copies. Deadpool proved enduringly popular, especially after Liefeld left with other Marvel creators in 1992 to launch Image. And while Liefeld flooded the comic racks with creations, his tenure at Image was short-lived. By 1996, he contentiously parted ways with the publishing house and his partners. But while his comic and artistic fortunes sagged, his Hollywood life began. After a New Line deal for in the mid-‘90s, more followed. Few involved an actual published comic. In 1998, an action concept The Mark was set up in a seven-figure deal at Universal with Will Smith attached to star and Steven Spielberg eying to direct. was set up at Columbia in 2002 with Jenifer Lopez attached to star and produce the movie, described as with superheroes. The pitch involved just five Liefeld-drawn visuals, and the producers hoped it would eventually launch a comic. ultimately shriveled in development hell but was re-set up in 2019. In 2003, New Line Cinema acquired the sci-fi action-comedy pitch in a deal valued at mid-six against seven figures. The pitch, centered on an intergalactic witness protection program, came with 10 pages of an unpublished comic. It was re-optioned twice, generating more fees for Liefeld. As these deals took place, Liefeld enjoyed the Hollywood life, attending premieres and hanging out at celebrity-packed house parties. But as with the whimsies of the business, Liefeld saw a dip in Hollywood fortunes and tried to return to comics. The first movie revived interest in the artist, however, and Liefeld, never one to miss an opportunity, hustled. In 2016, was optioned by Paramount for $300,000 against $600,000 and had Akiva Goldsman producing. (A bargain when compared to the recent Warners deal.) Graham King, in a reported seven-figure deal, tried to launch a Liefeld-verse with characters from the creator’s Extreme Studios imprint ion 2017. And the Captain America-like Prophet was semi-close to getting off the ground with Jake Gyllenhaal and Studio 8 in the late 2010s, also in six-figure deals. It is likely that Liefeld has made between $10 million to $20 million off his creations and reputation as Deadpool’s co-creator, making him the most financially successful American comic artist or writer. “He is the most successful comic book creator with the least things actually made,” notes one producer. “There’s nobody else is in his category. He has managed to take all his titles and build a little empire.” The asterisk here is Mark Millar, the author of comics such as , and , who not only found hit adaptations of his work while influenced the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also sold his entire comic publishing empire to Netflix in 2017. That deal alone was worth $45 million, according to insiders. (There were rumors that Liefeld attempted to sell his universe of creations to Netflix a la Millar, but that didn’t not get up the chain too far, the insiders said.) There’s also creator Robert Kirkman, who has transcended comics to become a small media mogul via his Skybound Entertainment, which also is behind and is actively involved with showrunning and other aspects of running a wide-ranging media company. But Liefeld’s superpower has been to build an empire without needing to build a big company as well. “There is a real appetite for Rob’s titles because of the success of Deadpool,” notes one producer THR Newsletters Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day More from The Hollywood Reporter
