美国马萨诸塞州联邦地区法院法官乔治·奥图尔（克林顿任命）2月12日裁定，起诉白宫人事管理办公室“买断”计划的工会并未受到该计划的直接影响，缺乏起诉资格。
奥图尔还认为，地区法院没有审查此案的管辖权，联邦雇员应将投诉提交给审查政府内部人事事务的独立机构，如有质疑可起诉至上诉法院。
奥图尔未就“买断”计划合法性本身作出裁决。
工会方面表示，这是挫折而非斗争的终结。人事管理办公室表示，已有超过7.5万名联邦雇员接受“买断”计划。

The company now has its operational base in Dubai, though it says it doesn’t keep servers there.Mr. Durov maintains a yearslong friendship from his VK days with actor and tech investor Jared Leto, with whom he shares an ascetic lifestyle that eschews meat and alcohol.
In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.
