U.S. judge raises prospect of not approving CVS-Aetna deal

Description

According to Reuters, a federal judge raised the prospect of not approving CVS Health's deal to buy insurer Aetna, which closed earlier this week, during a routine portion of the legal process. The judge objected to what he said was the government’s and companies’ treatment of him as a “rubber stamp” for the deal. The judge said that CVS had closed its deal to buy Aetna for $69 billion on Wednesday. CVS said that “It’s commonplace for acquisitions to close before this final step in the process is complete."

    Shares of Chinese shopping website Alibaba fell as much as 3% on Monday. The prolonged absence from the public view of its founder Jack Ma has raised eyebrows. According to Markets Insider, Ma has not been seen in public in more than two months. When he unexpectedly failed to show up, he was abruptly replaced as a judge on an African entrepreneurship TV show late last year. His companies Alibaba and Ant Group face increased regulatory pressure from the Chinese government. The crackdown coincides with Ma's remarks at a conference that Chinese financial regulators were an 'old people's club,' unable to keep up with technology.

  • Beast's Scene In 'The Marvels' Raises A Big X-Men Question 'Deadpool & Wolverine' Needs To Answer

    At the end of the recent Marvel Studios movie "The Marvels," Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) sacrificed herself to close a rift between universes. She left herself on the other side, and when she woke up, she ran into someone she believed to be her mother, Maria (Lashana Lynch)... and Beast, a core member of the mutant team The X-Men. The excitement at seeing Beast on screen again was a lot. And, it was the Kelsey Grammer version of the mutant, an iteration we hadn’t seen since the 2006 film "X-Men: The Last Stand." That was many moons ago, and in a continuity that occurred long before the MCU even existed. Now that we know Grammer is willing to return to the X-Men universe, our managing editor has a question about something he said… and thinks it can be answered in the upcoming Marvel Studios movie "Deadpool & Wolverine." #xmen#deadpool #deadpool3 #deadpoolwolverine #fantheories #mcu #superhero
