Aaron Weinman here. On Thursday, Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, died at Balmoral Castle aged 96, after reigning for 70 years. You can read more about her life and legacy here. 

In finance news, Citi has scored a much-needed legal victory over its embarrassing "fat-finger" mistake. The bank persuaded a federal appeals court to force Revlon creditors to give Citi back $ 504 million.

In August 2020, Citi accidentally sent Revlon lenders — including Brigade Capital Management, Symphony Asset Management, and HPS Investment Partners — more than $ 900 million. 

It was the ultimate blunder on Wall Street. And while Citi managed to recover nearly half the amount, the accidental payment shone a light on Citi's internal processing systems for transactions, and fostered debate over whether processes like repayments could be automated to mitigate human error.

Chief Executive Jane Fraser called it a "massive unforced error." And internally, Citi bankers did have a laugh about it.

"The first reaction in investment banking was a combination of 'what a f'ing joke' and 'there goes our bonus,'" one senior banker told me.

Thursday's decision is the ideal tonic for Citi in an otherwise turbulent investment-banking environment.

Oh and ICYMI — Revlon filed for bankruptcy in June.

And don't forget, it's time for the Banker of the Week!

The prestigious bank has lost 4 TMT bankers in recent weeks.

1. Citi has won its appeal over its Revlon loan blunder, helping it to recover about $ 500 million.

The US Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in Manhattan said the lenders were not entitled to the repayment and had been told that the wiring was a human error.

A trio of judges overturned US District Judge Jesse Furman's decision, which allowed the lenders to keep the $ 504 million, ruling that the lenders should not have been expected to know the transfer was a mistake.

Citi argued that the lenders should have been skeptical of receiving such a payment because there was no notice that Revlon's term loan was being paid off. That loan was scheduled to mature in 2023.

Citi was Revlon's agent bank, meaning that it would act as a conduit between lenders that participated in the loan and Revlon as the borrower.

In sending such a large amount, Citi's lawyers argued that those receiving it should have known it was an error. Or at least had the wherewithal to ask why such a sum of money was sent their way well ahead of the loan maturing.

The lenders, however, argued that Judge Furman's decision should stand because those who receive money from reputable third parties like Citi should not question if the payments are legitimate.

For those of you who like to mine through court documents, here is the ruling from the appellate panel.

The service, which sports more than 5 million subscribers, was coming up empty for many as of 6 p.m. ET. The channel guide was live. But choose a show and you’d get nothing but a blank screen. The culprit appeared to be some sort of licensing error across multiple devices, and we started to see channels return around 7:25 p.m. ET.

YouTube TV acknowledged the outage on Twitter.

if you’re having trouble watching @YouTubeTV rn, we’re currently having some ~technical issues~ BUT we’re working on a fix!! stay tuned 📺

&mdash; TeamYouTube (@TeamYouTube) September 6, 2022

The Team YouTube Twitter account noted that it’s “working on a fix,” which could mean that service will be restored sooner rather than later. But no ETA was given. DownDetector, which tracks user reports of website outages, showed a large spike of YouTube outages early Tuesday evening.

A post on on the status page of competing service Philo (as spotted on Reddit), which also appears to be affected, points toward an outage in Google’s Widevine DRM service that started about 6 p.m. ET. According to its website, Widevine “provides the capability to license, securely distribute. and protect playback of content on any consumer device.” In other words, exactly the sort of thing a streaming service would need — and also the sort of thing that could single-handedly take down an entirely streaming service.

It also appeared that not every channel on YouTube TV was affected. We were able to view some channels — including local broadcast affiliates. Others went blank before a playback error appeared on screen.

The outage comes the same day YouTube TV announced that it now supports 5.1 surround sound on Apple TV, though there’s no indication of any correlation.

There’s no streaming service (or web service of any kind, really) that’s never seen an outage, and YouTube TV has been party to some fairly major outages in the past. But now that it’s the biggest streaming service in the country — with about a million more sub scribers than Hulu With Live TV — any outage is going to be that much og a bigger deal.

YouTube TV itself costs $ 65 a month for about 100 channels. It’s available on every major streaming platform, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast with Google TV, various smart TVs, gaming consoles, and in a web browser.

In the following episode, Betty got her own chance to make it to Yale after finding out the reason she was rejected was that her father is the Black Hood. 

As Betty, Veronica (Camila Mendes), Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) and Toni (Vanessa Morgan) reach the Quiz Show finals against Stonewall Prep, a Yale recruiter offers Betty a place at the college if her team wins. 

Her mother Alice wants to ensure her the win and hands her the answers, which Betty tears up. 

Brett however collects the pieces and plants them into Betty’s room so she can be branded a cheater and lose her spot at Yale.

He continued: “Word had come through. So as a result if you look at Episode Five of Season One, I keep jumping between jacket on and jacket off, in the same scene!”

In the same book, Outlander creator Diana Gabaldon wrote the forward and recalled a painful experience for Graham.

She explained Graham was required to ride a mechanical horse for a trick which would see Dougal switch horses as they ran.

However, Graham wasn’t a big fan of the trick as he explained he would not be repeating the stunt in the future.

She said before Danny and Oti’s Samba was played: “At number 2, it’s another samba from 2016 Glitterball champion Danny Mac and his partner Oti.”

However, Claudia’s error was soon pointed out by those watching at home, who soon expressed their confusion on social media. 

Taking to Twitter, one joked: “Claudia confirming that Danny Mac actually beat Ore in 2016 is my favourite Christmas present this year.”

“How did no one in the production team notice Claudia called Danny and Oti Glitterball champions when introducing their samba? #Strictly,” queried another.

Having accumulated £7,000 in his cash-builder round, the contestant was offered a higher amount of £78,000 but he decided to turn it down.

Though he didn’t increase the jackpot significantly, Paul did make it back for the Final Chase, which proved valuable.

Putting their heads together for the first time, both players managed to accumulate 16 points Mark would have to match to defeat them.

Although it was a tense standoff, The Beast was crowned the champion of the game, meaning the cash total of £9,00 was wiped away.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.

Drugged and plagued by hallucinations of Ivar, Hvitserk killed shieldmaiden and fan favourite Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) after mistaking her for a serpent, a representation of his rival.

However, some viewers were baffled when the pair shared a rather heartfelt reunion in the penultimate chapter of the first half of season six.

In episode nine, Resurrection, Hvitserk confessed to Lagertha’s murder, later joining Ivar to storm the beach of Vetfold and overthrow Bjorn Ironside (Alexander Ludwig). 

Throughout the lengthy wait for the midseason premiere, fans have been debating the brothers’ inconsistent relationship over the last few years.

“That’s their game. Not necessarily history this. This is geography,” he told the contestant, to which she replied: “Well, I don’t know.”

The host was insistent he knew the category the question fell under, telling Becky “not to change the subject.”

Bradley was quite pleased with himself over the joke he made, albeit being at the contestant’s expense as he chuckled away.

Mark also saw the funny side of the joke as he applauded Bradley’s quick wit, but the player didn’t seem as appeased.

“It’s not a laughing matter,” she told the host before he proceeded to reveal the answer, signifying the geography teacher had made the wrong guess with Walter Raleigh.

And even if she knew she was going to be, surely the time it’d take for her to pick her outfit and Sheldon to drive would have been ample enough for an ambulance to arrive?

Penny’s also well aware Sheldon’s driving skills leave a lot to be desired.

A stickler for the rules, Sheldon adheres to all of the necessary precautions that come with driving a car, from checking his mirrors to abiding by the speed limits.

If Penny was in such pain, why would she think getting dressed with Sheldon and having him drive would be quicker than calling 911?

Of course, they manage to complete their mission and all of the team makes it out alive – although only just for the evil Tahir.

As the team managed to outsmart the extremists, Tahir and Sam become emboriled in a vicious fistfight.

And just when it looks like Sam is going to get the ultimate revenge on his enemy and deliver a deadly blow, the sight of his son Aiden forces him to stop and hand Tahir into custody instead.
