The Court of Federal Claims in Asia Pacific Airlines v. U.S. (Oct. 14, 2005) grounded USPS when it indicated to bidders that varying flight schedules for mail transport would be permissible and then disqualified the low bidder on two lanes after two rounds of internet auction for failing to conform to the suggested tender times. The court enjoined not only the awards for those two lanes, but for several others that the airline said it would have bid on if it had known the true ground rules.

On August 19, 2025, the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance (“Senate Finance Committee”) sent Paul Atkins, Chairman, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a letter calling on the SEC to investigate White River Energy Corp (“White River”). In the letter, the Senate Finance Committee confirmed a criminal investigation into White River related to the sale of so-called “tribal tax credits” that according to both Congress and the IRS, do not exist. The letter further states that White River allegedly earned millions of dollars selling these credits and has not been forthcoming with investors regarding the existence of the criminal investigation. According to the Senate Finance Committee, White River has failed to file financial disclosure documents with the SEC since March 15, 2024, missing six consecutive reporting periods. The letter instructs White River to disclose the existence of the DOJ criminal tax investigation, and calls on the SEC to take action if White River fails to do so.
