Abrupt shutdown of financial middleman Synapse has frozen thousands of Americans' deposits
The bank accounts of tens of thousands of U.S. businesses and consumers have been frozen in the aftermath of the abrupt shutdown and bankruptcy of financial technology company Synapse, which acts as a middleman between financial technology companies and banks. Synapse filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April and has shut down its services to some of its fintech or bank partners, including Evolve Bank & Trust. Because Evolve is a bank and is required to comply with banking laws, it has to make sure all customer deposits are accounted for to the penny, which may take time.

Boeing still has a 'long way to go': Sec. Buttigieg
Boeing (BA) is facing a host of issues, from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) probe of the company's 787 Dreamliner inspections to the Alaska Airlines (ALK) mid-flight door blowout. US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg talks to Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi about how the Department of Transportation is looking at the company. "The good news is that there has been a lot of engagement. They've taken a number of steps in response to the pressure that the FAA is putting on them, but there's still a long way to go," Sec. Buttigieg says. The FAA is barring Boeing from increasing its production rate until the company has proven that it can address the mounting safety concerns. "At the end of the day, it's all about the results. They're saying the right things, they're taking encouraging steps, but we need to make sure that we see it on the shop floor, that we see it in terms of the quality of the product that rolls off the line," he adds. On whether Americans can trust Boeing, Sec. Buttigieg says, "Look, I'm on a Boeing airplane every few days... so this is personal to me as well as something I care about as a policymaker. And bottom line is the FAA is not going to allow anything to go forward that they're not satisfied is safe."
