Good morning. BNP Paribas could face thousands of claims from Sudanese plaintiffs after a U.S. jury found the bank owed money to three individuals after helping an abusive regime there end-run U.S. sanctions, reports Risk Journal’s Richard Vanderford.

• Liable: A Manhattan jury on Friday found Paris-based BNP liable for damages suffered by the men, who said the bank provided services to a U.S.-sanctioned regime that committed human rights violations. The jury said the bank must award the individuals a total of roughly $20 million.
   
• Bellwether: The trial was intended to be a bellwether—a test case—and the legal team intends to continue to pursue claims, said Adam Levitt, a partner at law firm DiCello Levitt who represented the plaintiffs. A class action could ultimately encompass 23,000 additional people, he said.
   
• Follow-on: The lawsuit, first filed in 2016, follows a criminal sanctions case that prosecutors brought against BNP Paribas more than a decade ago over its work moving money in defiance of sanctions on Sudan, Iran and Cuba. The bank in 2014 entered a guilty plea and agreed to pay $8.9 billion for moving billions of dollars through the U.S. financial system on behalf of entities in those countries.
   
• Pending appeal: A spokesperson for BNP Paribas said it intends to continue fighting the case. “The verdict is specific to these three plaintiffs, and we strongly believe it should not have broader application beyond this decision,” the bank said. “We believe this verdict should be overturned on appeal.”

Customers ditched Disney+, Hulu after Kimmel suspension.

The rate is calculated by dividing the number of cancellations in a given month by subscribers at the end of the prior month.
