Attorney General James Stops Westchester Real Estate Company from Discriminating Against Low-Income Renters
“I thank Attorney General James for securing a meaningful agreement that will expand opportunities for Westchester residents and send an important message to realtors that New York will not tolerate housing discrimination of any kind.”“Denying housing to low-income residents is downright shameful and weakens the chances of future progress to bridge the gap between renters and property owners,” said State Senator Nathalia Fernandez. “I commend Attorney General Letitia James and the Housing Rights Initiative for cracking down on source of income discrimination, sending a message from Westchester to the rest of New York that these practices will not stand.” Attorney General James has consistently taken action to fight housing discrimination and protect low-income tenants. Last year, Attorney General James took action to stop “tenant blacklisting” and partnered with HRI to stop the real estate company Compass from denying housing to low-income New Yorkers. In July 2022, she recovered nearly $300,000 of illegally withheld security deposits for Brooklyn tenants. In April 2022, she sued Brooklyn-based eviction lawyers for engaging in deceptive rent collection practices and initiating frivolous lawsuits against New York tenants.This matter is being led by Sandra Giorno-Tocco, Assistant Attorney General for Public Advocacy in the Westchester Regional Office of the Attorney General led by Jill Faber, Deputy Attorney General for Regional Affairs and Jane Landry-Reyes, Assistant Attorney General in the Housing Protection Unit, led by Brent Meltzer, Chief of the Housing Protection Unit. The Housing Protection Unit is a part of the Division for Social Justice, which is led by Chief Deputy Attorney General Meghan Faux and overseen by First Deputy Attorney General Jennifer Levy.

National, State, and Local Leaders Applaud Attorney General James’ Nation-Leading Efforts to Regulate Cryptocurrency
By codifying the DFS BitLicense regulation, banning conflicts of interest, regulating affiliate relationships, and mandating transparency, the Attorney General's proposed legislation assures that New York's consumers and investors are protected from unregulated and improper practices by digital assets firms, while maintaining New York's existing regulatory structure. I commend Attorney General Letitia James for taking this important step to introduce a comprehensive legislative proposal and look forward to its negotiation and passage.”
“The Attorney General’s proposed legislation positions New York to once again be a leader in developing sensible regulation of virtual currencies,” said Delicia Hand, Director of Financial Fairness for Consumer Reports. “By expanding New York’s General Business law to include specific oversight of stablecoin businesses and disclosure requirements for crypto brokers and influencers, this bill would strengthen the state’s ability to protect consumers and the broader financial system by improving transparency, addressing potential conflicts of interest, and establishing clear investor safeguards. We look forward to continuing to work with the Attorney General to strengthen the bill and ensure consumers are protected as the industry grows.”
“New York Attorney General Letitia James’ cryptocurrency legislation sets the standard for all U.S. states and territories on how to regulate the fledgling cryptocurrency industry,” said John Stark, former Founder and Chief of the Securities and Exchanges Commission's (SEC) Office of Internet Enforcement. “This legislation brings much needed oversight to the industry and raises the bar, ensuring that investor protection remains paramount. I applaud Attorney General James and her team for this impactful legislation.”
“The cryptocurrency industry is deliberately targeting vulnerable communities of color, all in the service of lining the pockets of rich cryptobros,” said Alicé Nascimento, Campaigns Director of New York Communities for Change. “The industry is promoting itself as a means of financial empowerment and inclusivity, while downplaying the massive risks and drawbacks. Studies have shown that people of color are more likely to invest in cryptocurrency, and are therefore more vulnerable to the volatility and lack of regulation in the market.

Empowering and rewarding whistleblowers
The New York False Claims Act and its associated regulations empower the Attorney General, local governments and private citizen “whistleblowers” to bring actions against people, businesses, and other entities that defraud New York State or local governments.
The Taxpayer Protection Bureau, often working with whistleblowers, conducts civil investigations and prosecutes civil enforcement actions against individuals who knowingly make or use false or fraudulent claims, records, or statements to obtain or withhold money or property that belongs to the government. Critically, violators of the New York False Claims Act are liable for up to three times the damages incurred by the misconduct, as well as civil penalties assessed per violation.
Whistleblowers are private citizens who have evidence of fraud committed by persons or companies against New York State or local governments.
National, State, and Local Leaders Applaud Attorney General James’ Nation-Leading Efforts to Regulate Cryptocurrency
“When I held the first-ever oversight hearing on cryptocurrency and blockchain at the New York City Council this year, it was made clear by expert testimony that there is an urgent need for regulation of this fast-growing industry,” said New York City Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez. “I commend New York State Attorney General Letitia James for her common-sense regulatory framework to ensure that her office and the Department of Financial Services can protect New Yorkers and the broader economy. This legislation will raise the bar for the crypto industry and safeguard the most vulnerable investors, especially investors of color. I look forward to joining this effort to ensure there is transparency and proper oversight of this industry, and to protect consumers from financial exploitation.”
“New York has been a national leader in strong financial services regulation, including through its model framework for the licensing and supervision of digital assets firms and its vigorous enforcement of the Martin Act,” said Maria T. Vullo, former New York State Department of Financial Services Superintendent and former Executive Deputy Attorney General for Economic Justice. “As recent events demonstrate, unregulated actors will exploit consumers and investors in their quest for outsized profits, damaging the market for those who seek to comply with the rules. It is time for New York to lead once again in the dual regulatory system with clear standards that address this evolving industry. By codifying the DFS BitLicense regulation, banning conflicts of interest, regulating affiliate relationships, and mandating transparency, the Attorney General's proposed legislation assures that New York's consumers and investors are protected from unregulated and improper practices by digital assets firms, while maintaining New York's existing regulatory structure. I commend Attorney General Letitia James for taking this important step to introduce a comprehensive legislative proposal and look forward to its negotiation and passage.”
“The Attorney General’s proposed legislation positions New York to once again be a leader in developing sensible regulation of virtual currencies,” said Delicia Hand, Director of Financial Fairness for Consumer Reports.
