Uncovered abusive lenders who were pushing US veterans into foreclosure; the stories prompted a federal foreclosure moratorium that kept vets in their homes.
Exposed abusive Adderall prescribing practices at Cerebral Inc.; afterward the CEO was ousted, and the government launched an investigation that led to millions of dollars in fines for encouraging the unauthorized distribution of drugs.
Exclusively reported untaxed income received by Trump Organization executives; the revelation triggered a state investigation, and ultimately led to the jailing of the company’s chief financial officer.
