Amanda Werner, dressed as the iconic Monopoly Man, sits behind former Equifax CEO Richard Smith as he testified before the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday, October 4. The ruse was organized by progressive nonprofits Public Citizen and Americans for Financial Reform. "I am dressed as the Monopoly Man to call attention to Equifax and Wells Fargo's use of forced arbitration as a get-out-of-jail-free card for massive misconduct," Werner said in a Twitter message to CNN Tech. "They use these ripoff clauses buried in the fine print to ensure that consumers can't join together to hold them accountable in court." Last month, Equifax announced a huge data breach affecting over 145 million people. Smith told senators on Wednesday that a forced arbitration clause was not designed to be applied to the breach.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson makes a statement to the press in Washington on Wednesday, October 4. He said he has no plans to resign and will not do so, denying reports that Vice President Mike Pence had to urge him to stay in the job. He also sidestepped questions about whether he called President Donald Trump a "moron." Tillerson's remarks were part of an administration-wide effort to dismiss an NBC article in which aides described Tillerson's "fury" about the ways Trump has undermined him publicly on several foreign-policy initiatives. Calling the report "erroneous," Tillerson pointed the finger at "some who try to sow dissension" to undermine the President's agenda. And he said he wouldn't deal with "petty nonsense" of name-calling.
