MLB, NFL players contacted by federal agents in stunning licensing firm investigation
MLB and NFL pros have been contacted by federal agents as part of an investigation regarding a licensing firm owned by the league's unions, according to reports. Agents are looking into financial dealings regarding OneTeam Partners, created by the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and private-equity firm RedBird Capitals in 2019, per ESPN. 4 MLBPA executive director Tony Clark in 2017. AP Players are not being targeted by the agents, according to ESPN, and at least three MLBers who are involved with 'union leadership' have been contacted. The FBI and Department of Labor (DOL) are partaking in the investigation, per The Athletic. '(OneTeam) is aware of an ongoing investigation of allegations concerning our partners,' it told ESPN in a statement. 'We want to emphasize that OneTeam is not the subject of the investigation and has not been accused of any wrongdoing in any way. OneTeam is fully committed to cooperating with the investigation.' OneTeam Partners' website claims 'we united Players Associations and elite athletes by giving them the platforms, resources and expertise necessary to maximize their collective value.' Both NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell and MLBPA boss Tony Clark are listed on the board of directors, and former NFLPA boss DeMaurice Smith helped found it. 4 Executive Director NFL players Association Lloyd Howell speaks as striking members of Writers Guild of America picketing in front of CBS Broadcast Center on theme Sport Writers Picket in New York in 2023. Lev Radin/Pacific Press/Shutterstock OneTeam Partners paid the MLBPA $44.5 million in 2024 and the NFLPA received $422.8 million over the past five years, per ESPN. ESPN described the partnership as a 'major financial boon' for both unions. Union executives told ESPN they had not been contacted, and the investigation is being run by the Brooklyn-based Eastern District of New York. 'We are aware of the investigation and fully prepared to cooperate if the NFLPA is contacted,' an NFLPA spokesperson told The Athletic. 4 The OneTeam Partners website. The MLBPA also said to the outlet: 'If the MLBPA is contacted by the government, we intend to cooperate fully with any investigation.' OneTeam has faced questions before regarding its operations with the NFL and MLB unions. An anonymous unfair labor practices complaint was filed in 2024 with the National Labor Relations board that alleged 'nepotism, corruption and mismanagement' within the MLBPA, per ESPN. 4 Former NFLPA boss DeMaurice Smith helped found OneTeam. AP The complaint alleges Clark 'improperly gave himself & other executives equity' in OneTeam, along with 'inadequate disclosures' about the alliance in the yearly union updates. The MLBPA denied those allegations, per ESPN. This past December, Richard Smith, the NFL's outside counsel, reportedly ran an audit to see whether the company has afforded equity options to executive directors of its union partners, including the MLBPA. The NFLPA audit revealed the union's involvement with OneTeam was 'in compliance with best governance practices,' a source told ESPN. '(OneTeam) remains steadfast in our commitment to following the best business practices, as has already been determined by the independent audit conducted earlier this year,' it told ESPN. 'We remain dedicated to upholding the highest standards of integrity and transparency in all that we do.'

Iran has amassed even more near weapons-grade uranium, UN watchdog says
Iran has further increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels, a confidential report by the U.N. nuclear watchdog said Saturday. In a separate report, the agency called on Tehran to urgently change course and comply with its years-long probe. The report comes at a sensitive time, as the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to reach a deal with Tehran to limit its nuclear program. The two sides have held several rounds of talks, so far without agreement. The report by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency — which was seen by The Associated Press — says that as of May 17, Iran has amassed 408.6 kilograms (900.8 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60%. That's an increase of 133.8 kilograms (294.9 pounds) — or almost 50% — since the IAEA's last report in February. The 60% enriched material is a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%. A report in February put this stockpile level at 274.8 kilograms (605.8 pounds). There was no immediate comment from Tehran on the new IAEA report. The IAEA report raised a stern warning, saying that Iran is now 'the only non-nuclear-weapon state to produce such material' — something the agency said was of 'serious concern.' Approximately 42 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium is theoretically enough to produce one atomic bomb, if enriched further to 90%, according to the watchdog. The IAEA report, a quarterly, also estimated that as of May 17, Iran's overall stockpile of enriched uranium — which includes uranium enriched to lower levels — stood at 9,247.6 kilograms (20,387.4 pounds). That's an increase of 953.2 kilograms (2,101.4 pounds) since February's report. Iran has maintained its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only, but the IAEA chief, Rafael Mariano Grossi, has warned that Tehran has enough uranium enriched to near-weapons-grade levels to make 'several' nuclear bombs if it chose to do so. Iranian officials have increasingly suggested that Tehran could pursue an atomic bomb. U.S. intelligence agencies assess that Iran has yet to begin a weapons program, but has 'undertaken activities that better position it to produce a nuclear device, if it chooses to do so.' Israel said Saturday's report was a clear warning sign that 'Iran is totally determined to complete its nuclear weapons program,' according to a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office. It said IAEA's report 'strongly reinforces what Israel has been saying for years — the purpose of Iran's nuclear program is not peaceful.' It also added that Iran's level of enrichment 'has no civilian justification whatsoever' and appealed on the international community to 'act now to stop Iran.' It is rare for Netanyahu to make statements on Saturday, the Jewish day of rest, underlying the urgency with which he sees the matter. Grossi said Saturday that he 'reiterates his urgent call upon Iran to cooperate fully and effectively' with the IAEA's years long investigation into uranium traces discovered at several sites in Iran. The IAEA also circulated to member states on Saturday a second, 22-page confidential report, also seen by the AP, that Grossi was asked to produce following a resolution passed by the 35-member IAEA Board of Governors last November. In this so-called 'comprehensive report,' the IAEA said that Iran's cooperation with the agency has 'been less than satisfactory' when it comes to uranium traces discovered by IAEA inspectors at several locations in Iran that Tehran has failed to declare as nuclear sites. Western officials suspect that the uranium traces discovered by the IAEA could provide evidence that Iran had a secret military nuclear program until 2003. One of the sites became known publicly in 2018 after Netanyahu revealed it at the United Nations and called it a clandestine nuclear warehouse hidden at a rug-cleaning denied this but in 2019 IAEA inspectors detected the presence of manmade uranium particles there. After initially blocking IAEA access, inspectors were able to collect samples in 2020 from two other locations where they also detected the presence of manmade uranium particles. The three locations became known as Turquzabad, Varamin, and Marivan. A fourth undeclared location named as Lavisan-Shian is also part of the IAEA probe but IAEA inspectors never visited the site because it was razed and demolished by Iran after 2003. In Saturday's comprehensive report, the IAEA says that the 'lack of answers and clarifications provided by Iran' to questions the watchdog had regarding Lavisan-Shian, Varamin and Marivan 'has led the agency to conclude that these three locations, and other possible related locations, were part of an undeclared structured nuclear program carried out by Iran until the early 2000s and that some activities used undeclared nuclear material.' Saturday's comprehensive report could be a basis for possible further steps by European nations, leading to a potential escalation in tensions between Iran and the West. European countries could move to trigger snap-back sanctions against Iran that were lifted under the original 2015 nuclear deal ahead of October, when the deal formally expires. On Thursday, senior Iranian officials dismissed speculation about an imminent nuclear deal with the United States, emphasizing that any agreement must fully lift sanctions and allow the country's nuclear program to continue. The comments came a day after Trump said he has told Netanyahu to hold off on striking Iran to give the U.S. administration more time to push for a new deal with Tehran. Trump said on Friday that he still thinks a deal could be completed in the 'not too distant future.' 'They don't want to be blown up. They would rather make a deal,' Trump said of Iran. He added, 'That would be a great thing that we could have a deal without bombs being dropped all over the Middle East.'

What Are Amazon Selling Fees? A UK-Based Agency's Guide to Smarter Selling
Selling on Amazon may seem like a straightforward path to eCommerce success, but understanding the platform's fee structure is where many sellers hit a wall. Whether you're just starting or scaling your operations, working with a trusted UK-based Amazon agency can make all the difference in how you navigate the cost landscape and maintain long-term profitability. This guide breaks down Amazon's key selling fees and shows you how to make smarter decisions with the help of experienced professionals. Amazon's selling fees vary depending on your business model (e.g., individual vs. professional), product categories, and fulfilment methods. While the platform offers immense reach, it comes at a cost, and those costs can quickly eat into your margins if you're not careful. Generally, Amazon sellers need to be aware of the following types of fees: Referral Fees Subscription Fees Fulfilment Fees Storage Fees Optional Service Fees Let's explore what each of these entails. Amazon charges a referral fee on each product sold, which is a percentage of the total sales price (including shipping and any gift wrap charges). This percentage depends on the product category—ranging from 6% to 45%. For example, electronics might incur a 7% fee, while apparel could go up to 17%. It's essential to review your category rates regularly, as they're subject to change and can impact pricing strategy. Amazon offers two selling plans: Individual Plan : No monthly fee, but Amazon charges £0.75 per item sold. : No monthly fee, but Amazon charges £0.75 per item sold. Professional Plan: Costs £25/month (excl. VAT), with no per-item fee. If you're selling more than 35 items a month, the Professional Plan is more cost-effective. It also unlocks advanced features like bulk listings and access to Amazon Ads. Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) lets you store products in Amazon's warehouses, and they handle picking, packing, shipping, and customer service. While convenient, FBA comes with fulfilment fees based on product size and weight. Alternatively, Fulfilment by Merchant (FBM) allows sellers to handle fulfilment themselves, avoiding FBA fees but requiring more hands-on management. For FBA sellers, storage fees apply based on how long inventory remains in Amazon warehouses. The fees are charged monthly and increase significantly for inventory held longer than 365 days. Careful inventory management is crucial to avoid unnecessary long-term storage costs and maintain healthy profit margins. Other fees may include: Returns processing for certain categories for certain categories Labelling or prep services, if Amazon prepares your products for shipment if Amazon prepares your products for shipment High-volume listing fees if your catalogue exceeds 100,000 ASINs Understanding these hidden costs is key to building a lean and efficient Amazon business.

When you treat Amazon fees not as obstacles but as variables you can control, you unlock smarter, more scalable growth. It's not just about cutting costs—it's about making informed decisions that improve ROI across your Amazon business. With experienced guidance, sellers can: Launch new products with clearer cost expectations Plan marketing campaigns with true profit margins in mind Expand into new markets like the USA with fee strategies already in place Success on Amazon doesn't just come from having a great product. It comes from understanding the platform's ecosystem, especially when it comes to fees. These costs can quietly erode profits or, when managed properly, become a lever for growth. If you're serious about selling smarter and scaling faster, partner with a team that understands how to play the game—and win. A trusted UK-based Amazon agency can help you navigate the fine print and make every pound count. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
