From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! New York City, naturally, is a city of clubs. And occasionally, people, alcohol, and violence don't tend to mix well together.
Some stories talked about on today's show were:
1. Two men were shot outside a West Village club. The victims, both in their 20s, were shot outside SOB's on Varick Street at around 1:40 a.m. SOB stands for "Sounds of Brazil."
2. Lawmakers have voted to close the "Kushner loophole" that critics say encourages landlords to file false paperwork. The bill approved by the City Council will require regulators to double-check when landlords claim in construction permits that they have no rent-regulated tenants paying low rates.
3. A fake German heiress who swindled tens of thousands of dollars from New York banks and hotels is set to learn her punishment. Anna Sorokin will be sentenced in state court following her conviction for theft of services and grand larceny.
