Marc Mysterio’s Attorney: Amazon is ‘playing god with data’ Billboard uses for charts

Marc Mysterio in 2025

IBA Boxing Mandatory Challenger for (Vacant) Super Cruiserweight Intercontinental Championship vs. Jake Paul and Internationally Acclaimed Billboard Charting Artist Marc Mysterio

NEW YORK, April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marc Mysterio’s legal team, led by attorney Michael H. Joseph, will serve Amazon Music’s counsel with a letter of preservation of evidence imminently—as noted in Marc’s 3-Part YouTube Series exposing the Shadow-ban placed on his music using the IF/THEN protocol employed by Amazon Music— escalating the Irish-Canadian artist’s lawsuit against Amazon Music and DistroKid (Case No. 1:25-cv-01705).

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Feb. 27, 2025, the suit claims damages “in excess of $75,000,” with losses in the millions to date, alleging Amazon employed a shadow-ban on Mysterio’s songs by deploying an “IF/THEN” filter—essentially a simple “if this, then that” command, like telling a computer, “If it’s Marc’s music, then mark it with a dash (‘-’)”—rendering his tracks “artist-less” and unable to reach his 1.25 million fans, play on Amazon Stations, connect to related artists’ fans, or be considered for AI features normally available to all artists, even the below-mentioned, unheralded Neon Tom.

Mysterio, a 20-year music veteran and one of Amazon’s top global stars with over 80 million streams from September 2023 to August 2024—55% from Amazon Stations—saw his music blocked by the shadow-ban starting Sept. 10, 2024. The ban also threatens chart integrity, notably the Billboard Hot Dance and Electronic Songs Chart, where Mysterio charted based solely on Amazon streams..

By arbitrarily shadow-banning a charting artist for reasons known only to Amazon, the company can manipulate positions on independent charts like Billboard in the U.S. and the UK Official Charts, undermining the credibility of Billboard Magazine’s staff, artists, and their teams. “Amazon’s playing god with data that charts like Billboard Magazine—totally independent with no business ties to Amazon beyond collecting stream stats—rely on for calculations, for charts that Billboard’s readers and paying subscribers rely on,” Joseph said.

A 3-part YouTube series strengthens Mysterio’s case: Video 1 (March 19, 2025) shows “streaming errors” across his profile; Video 2 reveals “My Sabrina Carpenter Mix” with 17 of 50 songs by Carpenter, while “My Marc Mysterio Mix” has zero of 50 by Mysterio, contrasting Amazon Music Stations—algorithm-driven streams, not playlists—where Neon Tom, an artist with zero Amazon fans (equivalent to followers), lands two of the first 10 songs on his station, while Mysterio’s station played nearly 50 songs with none of his own. Video 3 details his station’s 225,463 streams and 57,453 listeners from the noted calendar year, and the Taylor Swift station’s 3,698,968 streams and 742,696 listeners of Mysterio’s songs from the noted calendar year, both bottoming out to zero on Sept. 25, 2024.

Marc Mysterio’s 3-Part YouTube Series expose Amazon’s IT backend, for example: Mysterio’s artist page URL (https://music.amazon.com/artists/B0041A1P4U/marc-mysterio) works without “/marc-mysterio” (https://music.amazon.com/artists/B0041A1P4U/), proving the 10-digit code “B0041A1P4U” drives identification—a key for discovery subpoenas. Amazon’s partial restore of Mysterio’s “Related Artists” to their pre-shadow-ban state in March 2025, post-complaint, without removing the shadow-ban itself, fueled the fight. “They showed they could fix it but didn’t,” Joseph said. “It’s more foolish than a 4th down trick play gone wrong.”

The preservation letter targets 17 evidence categories tied to “B0041A1P4U,” including metadata logs proving the shadow-ban’s scope from Sept. 10, 2024, backup snapshots showing Amazon’s restore capability, algorithm trails pinning intent, station logs quantifying damages—225,463 streams on Mysterio’s station and 3,698,968 on Taylor Swift’s, both zeroed by Sept. 25, 2024—and user metrics revealing 1.25 million fans cut off, per the YouTube series—all of which are dispositive to Marc’s claims contained in his lawsuit.

“Amazon’s half-fix—restoring Mysterio’s ‘Related Artists’ to their pre-shadow-ban state without removing the shadow-ban itself—is their 4th down fumble; they have essentially handed us the win by fixing and restoring the related artists portion of Marc Mysterio’s Amazon Music Artist Page but not simultaneously removing the IF/THEN code responsible for the shadow-ban when Amazon’s IT Staff could easily have done so—it shows clear and convincing intent to cause undue harm to Marc Mysterio, and the logs sought will show this” Joseph said, eyeing punitive damages.

Mysterio, known for collaborations with David Guetta, Crash Test Dummies, Flo Rida, Samantha Fox, and Trailer Park Boys—where he composed, appeared as a guest star DJ, and earned an IFPI Gold Award for the anthem from the Netflix Series entitled “L&W” (an abbreviation of the song title due to the explicit song title)—also scored a Gold Award with Alexandra Stan for “Balans.” He holds IBA boxing recognition as a contender for a vacant world title against Jake Paul.

“I was a top Amazon star who entrusted them as a voluntary exclusive artist, pulling my catalog from Spotify and Apple—if they’ll mistreat me like this, they could and likely would do it to any star, no matter how successful globally or how much you do for the community, including assisting terrorist victims” Mysterio concludes.

Nyxoah Provides Update on FDA Approvable Letter for Genio System

Nyxoah Provides Update on FDA Approvable Letter for Genio System
Expects to meet final FDA requirements for full PMA approval in the second quarter

Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium – April 8, 2025, 07:00am CET / 1:00am ET – Nyxoah SA (Euronext Brussels/Nasdaq: NYXH) (“Nyxoah” or the “Company”), which develops breakthrough treatment alternatives for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) through neuromodulation, today announced an update on the FDA approval process for the Genio system.

On March 26, 2025, the Company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an Approvable Letter regarding the Company’s Pre-Market Approval (PMA) application for the Genio® system.

The Approvable Letter means that Nyxoah’s application for marketing the device in the United States substantially meets the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the FDA’s PMA implementing regulations codified at 21 C.F.R. Part 814, and the FDA will approve the application subject to satisfactory completion of a manufacturing facilities, methods and controls review. FDA has accepted all other data provided with the PMA submission, including most importantly the clinical study that demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of the Genio® system.

Nyxoah is actively addressing one remaining item before FDA approval may be granted which is the validation of one process used with a component of the Genio system at its U.S. manufacturing site. The Company is confident that it will be able to successfully complete this validation in the near term. As such, Nyxoah anticipates that its application could potentially be approved in the second quarter and intends to provide an update on the review process on its first quarter 2025 earnings call to be held in May.

“We are pleased to share that the Approvable Letter from FDA confirms that we are very close to PMA approval,” commented Olivier Taelman, Nyxoah’s Chief Executive Officer. “We believe the final remaining step is completing a process validation at our U.S. manufacturing site – action taken in response to the last set of specific validation questions sent by the FDA – which we are confident we can address swiftly and successfully. We look forward to launching Genio in the U.S. upon receipt of FDA approval.”

About Nyxoah
Nyxoah is a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Nyxoah’s lead solution is the Genio® system, a patient-centered, leadless and battery-free hypoglossal neurostimulation therapy for OSA, the world’s most common sleep disordered breathing condition that is associated with increased mortality risk and cardiovascular comorbidities. Nyxoah is driven by the vision that OSA patients should enjoy restful nights and feel enabled to live their life to its fullest.

Following the successful completion of the BLAST OSA study, the Genio® system received its European CE Mark in 2019. Nyxoah completed two successful IPOs: on Euronext Brussels in September 2020 and NASDAQ in July 2021. Following the positive outcomes of the BETTER SLEEP study, Nyxoah received CE mark approval for the expansion of its therapeutic indications to Complete Concentric Collapse (CCC) patients, currently contraindicated in competitors’ therapy. Additionally, the Company announced positive outcomes from the DREAM IDE pivotal study.

Bitget Chief of Legal’s Open Letter Highlights Expansion and Regulatory Compliance Plans

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has published an open letter by its Chief Legal Officer, Hon Ng, which highlights the exchange’s efforts in global regulatory compliance and expansion. The CEX continues to grow in the global crypto market by securing regulatory approvals and expanding its operations. With a strong focus on compliance, Bitget is navigating evolving regulatory landscapes with over eight licenses obtained while ensuring that users have access to a secure and transparent trading environment.

Hon Ng, Chief Legal Officer at Bitget, has addressed the company’s strategic direction in an open letter, providing plans to grow Bitget’s regulatory standing across multiple jurisdictions. His statements show the importance of regulatory dialogues and highlight upcoming initiatives that will shape the platform’s future.

“The regulatory environment surrounding digital assets is becoming more defined, and Bitget is taking proactive steps to work alongside authorities to ensure responsible growth. Compliance is not an obligation it’s a necessity; it’s about setting a standard for the industry and building a sustainable ecosystem for users,” said Hon Ng, Chief Legal Officer at Bitget.

Bitget has already secured registrations and approvals in several key markets, including Australia, Italy, Poland, Lithuania, the UK, the Czech Republic, and El Salvador. These achievements align with the company’s strategy of working within legal frameworks and supporting initiatives that promote advanced security and user protection. The legal and compliance teams are working closely to obtain additional licenses in jurisdictions that will further enhance the platform’s accessibility and credibility.

One of the primary objectives for the upcoming year is to refine the company’s compliance protocols. A strong Know Your Customer (KYC) process is being implemented to optimize user verification while adhering to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations. In parallel, Bitget is investing in advanced transaction monitoring tools to detect and prevent illicit activity, ensuring that all operations adhere to the highest standards of financial integrity.

As part of its commitment to responsible operations, Bitget strictly adheres to international sanctions controls. Users from restricted regions are prohibited from accessing the platform, ensuring that all activities remain within legal boundaries. A dedicated compliance team continuously monitors global regulatory developments to adjust policies as needed.

Bitget’s legal and compliance strategy is designed to adapt to the rapidly changing digital asset landscape. With regulatory discussions evolving worldwide, the company is prepared to adjust its framework to align with new policies and emerging industry standards. The legal team remains engaged in conversations with policymakers to contribute to the responsible development of crypto regulations.

“Compliance is a continuous process that requires foresight and collaboration. Our goal here is simple: we comply, expand, operate, and grow. Our focus remains on making crypto accessible to everyone globally, and each license and approval is a step closer to it,” added Ng.

Bitget’s ongoing expansion and compliance efforts reaffirm its role as a leading player in the crypto market. By staying ahead of regulatory changes and implementing rigorous security measures, the company indeed plans to keep its title of being one of the top most trusted crypto exchanges globally.

AACSB Report Reveals Key Shifts Shaping Business Education

2025 AACSB State of Business Education Report

The 2025 State of Business Education Report highlights the evolving landscape of business education by exploring emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities that will shape the future of the business education industry.

The report explores business school financial viability, enrollment trends and learner expectations, and increasingly complex faculty and leadership roles.

TAMPA, Fla., April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AACSB International is proud to release its 2025 State of Business Education Report, a data-rich analysis of the forces reshaping business education worldwide. Based on global surveys, institutional data, and expert perspectives, the report highlights five key transformation areas:

  • Financial Viability: Over 75 percent of business school leaders cite financial models as a top concern. Schools are responding by diversifying revenue streams, building strategic industry partnerships, and adapting to changes in public funding and tuition models.
  • Evolving Enrollment Trends: Undergraduate and master’s applications are growing globally, while MBA enrollment is declining in some regions. International enrollment trends remain uneven—dropping by 26 percent at the undergraduate level in the Americas but rising significantly in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. At the master’s level, international enrollment increased across all regions, with schools in Asia Pacific and EMEA enrolling a higher proportion of students.
  • Workforce Readiness and Skill Development: Employers and educators agree on the need for a balanced skill set. Graduates must possess human-centered skills such as communication, resilience, and ethical leadership, alongside technical fluency in AI and hands-on learning experiences.
  • Evolving Faculty Roles: Faculty are under increasing pressure to deliver impactful research, embrace pedagogical innovation, and strengthen industry engagement. Institutions are rethinking faculty incentives and support structures to retain top talent and combat burnout, particularly in high-demand areas.
  • Leadership Complexity: Deans and academic leaders are navigating complex financial and regulatory landscapes, balancing immediate institutional needs with long-term strategy while fostering global collaboration.

“AACSB’s 2025 State of Business Education Report serves as a valuable reference point for business schools and their many internal and external stakeholders,” said Lily Bi, president and CEO of AACSB. “By highlighting major developments occurring across our industry—backed by AACSB’s comprehensive data and enriched by the insights and expertise from members throughout our global network—this report captures a pivotal moment in business education.”

The report draws from months of engagement with global stakeholders, including 14 regional roundtables and a survey of nearly 900 business education leaders from 83 countries and territories. AACSB also integrated its proprietary data with insights and research from leading organizations such as the Graduate Management Admission Council, McKinsey & Company, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

AACSB’s 2025 Business School Data Guide, relaunched for the first time since 2021 and released alongside the 2025 State of Business Education Report, serves as a valuable supplement, offering expanded insights into key trends and metrics shaping business education globally.
