tv   The Willis Report  FOX Business  May 27, 2014 5:00pm-6:01pm EDT

5:00 pm
tomorrow, we have basically come to the end of earnings season. we haven't heard from to brothers. the luxury homebuilder is reporting after the bell. revenue of 827 million. >> good need, everybody. gerri: hello, everybody i'm gerri willis. right now on "the willis report," the va in crisis. a whistle-blower tells us about on site drug dealing and patient abuse. also gm blames more crashes on that faulty ignition switch. we have important new information for consumers. the s&p five hundred hits another all-time high. we're watching out for you and your money on "the willis report." gerri: our top story tonight, first ebay. now spotify. hundreds of millions of americans are seeing their data compromised just this year alone. ebay recently admitting virtually all of its users sensitive data was compromise months ago.
5:01 pm
now today, spotify announcing a breach as well. not as big though. the fallout continues tonight. customer backlash mounts. here with ramifications to your own personal security is robert sissel lawn know, online security expert for mack can if i. and danny runs her own business on ebay. welcome to both of you. robert, how did the hackers break in using information of three employees? >> so that information, to my knowledge has been not been disclosed. however, what we see is phishing. employees may receive email looks like it is coming from internal communication. the it would say ebay logos and full colors. they open it thinking it is from hr and such. next thing you know, they're providing credentials to i.t. or who they believe is i.t. or clicking on a link that downloads a virus and compromises their system. gerri: wow, that is such an easy
5:02 pm
thing to do when you're at work, thinking you're doing the right thing and getting caught up in something much bigger. danny, to you, you run a big ol' business on ebay. you have 100,000 sales a year. been doing it for a number of years. what do you make of this? what is the reaction on your facebook page that you put together for ebay businesses like your own? >> yes. of course it gets really concerning because we go to a big company like ebay to run our business and we think it's safe and secure. so it is a little disconcerting to say the least. i don't go into panic mode. it is serious but, if we're proactive and we're doing things we're supposed to do, we can protect ourselves. gerri: robert, to you, don't go into panic mode obviously and we'll get to more tips how to respond in just a second but seems to me that consumers generally, maybe not business owners so familiar with ebay and its policies but people that
5:03 pm
might go on to epay less frequently are a little rattled here. what should they be thinking and what do you make of three u.s. states investigating this? we have some major probes going on. how will that change the course of what happens next? >> when you have almost, say, half the population of the country's credentials compromised in one single breach it definitely raises concerns and will see lawmakers attorneys general, others get sometimes the situations end up in class action lawsuits. at this point i don't see how much damage that has been done would be ground for any type of a suit. the was words were encrypted as far as i know. no personal losses or data. at this point, however, when breaches like this do occur, it definitely does raise concern and consumers obviously need to be on high ray lert at all times, regarding all their
5:04 pm
accounts. >> gerri: you couldn't be more right about this. what do you tell people with businesses on ebay. >> something i advise, change your password, frequently. especially a site where you run your business from. ultimately you're in charge of your business and you've got to be proactive and run it like a business. gerri: robert, you said many americans, 145 million americans were involved in this particular ebay incident. now we're hearing about spotify. which is a music streaming service. they only had one person who was compromised. did they handle this differently? were they smarter it? when they more proactive than ebay? >> they immediately disclosed breach. the fact one user was compromised is very interesting. i don't think i ever heard of that before, at least not, a national or international announcements being made one account had been hacked. how that occurred, why, where the breach occurred and so forth
5:05 pm
remains to be seen. when ever these breaches occur it is always best to disclose as quickly as possible that a breach has occurred. gerri: right. >> but you want to maintain secrecy until the breach has been contained. until they know the extent of it, you shouldn't talk about it. and from what i understand, with the spotify breach, they knew it was only one account. so they immediately disclosed it. gerri: but, robert, that is a excuse never to tell anybody anything. we don't know the extent of the breach yet. we'll wait until we run down every single american all over the world. seems to me in the past what we've seen with target and others, it was such a slow disclosure that in the end we were compromised, consumers were compromised because we didn't know right away. what do you say to that criticism? >> so, there's a reason behind keeping breaches secret until you know the full extent of it. if bad guys know you're on to them, they may switch tactics.
5:06 pm
so the corporations that are compromised, they keep it, hush-hush. law enforcement gets involved. and until they know what needs to be shut down, what portals need to be closed down, what data needs to be secured, they don't say anything, because they don't want to give bad guys the upper hand. like telling bad guy what your strategy is so he can work around that that's why they keep it behind closed doors until a certain point. gerri: that's a good point. danny, to you, should ebay be doing anything for its customers? some companies have come out and said we'll buy you some kind of a security filter. we'll help you check your accounts. we'll help you backstop yourself. we're not hearing from that from ebay. should we? >> definitely ebay should being more proactive. i don't understand why it took them months to let users know. after what you said that puzzles me. we can't count on ebay to take care of us. we have to take care of our own businesses. >> well-put, danny.
5:07 pm
robert, danny. great job both of you. >> thank you. >> thank you. gerri: we want to know what you think. here's our question tonight. are you sticking with ebay? will you stay on ebay? will you continue to buy things or sell things on ebay? log on to gerriwillis.com, vote on the right-hand side of the screen. i will let you know the results at the end of tonight's show. free money. a twitter robin hood. mystery fellow, reportedly a real estate investor stashing envelopes around california and tweeting clues where to find the money. it is twitter account, handle cash. they have 80,000 numbers. that is growing like topsy. with us one of those win matthew burkett from san francisco. great to have you here. so tell me about your experience. how did you get the money? how did you find it? and how did you originally find this twitter handle? >> well, originally it was a friend of mine, her daughter heard about it on "huffington
5:08 pm
post" article. she came to me, said, look i don't have a twitter. you have a twitter. so you need to get on this and we need to track this money down. gerri: so did you see a tweet and act on it? >> yeah, exactly. so the first tweet we got, it led to us the amoeba records store in san francisco. and we can't have been more than five minutes late. the person got in, got the money and gotten out before we got there. but we were so close. we were heading back to our apartment and we got the second tweet that said, go on top of the caterpillar by the water and look down. gerri: did you know where that was immediate? >> what's that? gerri: did you know where that was immediately? >> almost. so, i knew, i made the connection like caterpillar, bulldozer, construction equipment type thing because i work in construction. but it wasn't until my friend's husband said, oh, there's a caterpillar down by the ocean beach that we really realized we
5:09 pm
were on to something. gerri: and you found it. you found, what, 100 bucks in 20s. that's fun. that has to be a good time. what did you do with the money. >> i haven't done anything with it yet. i keep getting different ideas from different people on what i should do with it. i don't want to use it for myself. i feel like the whole idea is to pay it forward. so i'm thinking anything from lunch for my office, or maybe i do something more charitywise. but i haven't really decided yet. gerri: that is interesting. that is sort of what the person who started this whole movement is doing himself. he made so much money in real estate and knows so many people who can't afford housing there, he wanted to share his wealth. what we're hearing tonight, once he gets over that 100,000 twitter follower level, he will have a big drop. will you be watching for that? do you think you can make it twice? >> oh, absolutely. i've been keeping track of all of them. even after i won i was still
5:10 pm
following clues, not necessarily to find the money but just for adventure. it was a ton of fun finding the first clue. i followed two more the next day and almost got a second one. but i was too late. if he makes a big drop at 100,000 followers i will be there. gerri: matthew, thanks for coming on tonight. good to meet you. sound like it was a ton fun. >> it was. thanks for having me. gerri: you're most welcome. still to come, a lot more during this hour including your voice. during the show we want to you facebook me or beat me @gerriwillisfbn. or send me an email @gerriwillis.com. at the bottom of the hour i will read your tweets and your emails. an important story, coming up, one va insider blows the whistle on drug dealing and patient abuse at a va hospital in miami. there he is. the explosive details coming up.

5:14 pm
he is making serious allegations of corruption, drug dealing and more. joining me, thomas fiore, detective for the va police department in south florida. thanks for coming on the show, thomas. explain to us, because not everybody heard your story, what you saw at miami va that you thought was illegal, wrong. >> well, i've got to tell you, gerri, it has been an ongoing battle for many years. there's been drug abuse that has been going on. we've got treatment centers, inpatient treatment centers our veterans are going to seek treatment and yet, they go in. they're still abusing drugs. they're buying their drugs there at miami va. there's even been times where they have been supplied drug, talking illegal, talking cocaine, marijuana, they have been supplied drugs from employees of the miami va. gerri: okay. so i understand from our producer on this segment that some of these employees were
5:15 pm
actually dealing it right outside of the frond doors of the miami va. is that true? >> actually, it was the patients that are dealing it outside in front. it will be a lot of the patients from different areas of the medical center. they will go out to the front door. they will smoke. that is when a lot of the, the transactions are occurring out there. when you've got a large group of people, very difficult and very challenging for anybody to really get out there and put a stop to it and make some arrests. gerri: you mentions illegal drugs like cocaine and marijuana. what about legal drugs, the drugs that are used inside veterans hospital but sewed and dealt to patients? >> well, and that is just another, the, cocaine and marijuana is just a little part. when you really look at the grand scheme of things. it is almost as if the va is, and i know this isn't done on
5:16 pm
purpose but the va is supplying the patients with these narcotics and they're going right outside and doing some of the stuff inned building. it is either going for cash or going for a different type of prescription. gerri: wow. so these are serious allegations. have you reported them up the food chain? >> that's why i'm here because you can only report it so many times and it fall on deaf ears. then you need to start reaching out. i made contact with congressman, senators. i reached out to different individuals in washington, d.c. i have reached out to higher-ups within the va miami. and, as you can tell, maybe as you have heard, nothing. gerri: so, why is it in their interest to ignore you, do you think? >> well, one of the key things that a lot of people have to understand and reporters, you
5:17 pm
know, i understand that it always seems like the va is one of the things that a lot of reporters want to report on. and there's a reason for that. the va wants to stay out of the limelight. they don't want anybody to even know they're truly there. it is just for the veterans and that's it. so when there is major issue that occurs they want to keep it basically covered up. as soon as they put out on a piece of paper and report it to me, put it on police report, the police report is public record. so once they get their hands on this public record, the word's out. gerri: i want to talk a little bit about nicholas cutter, no longer with us, a former patient at the va. was in the drug program there. what happened to him? >> well, yeah, he unfortunately he died while he was in that program. he overdosed. gerri: he overdosed and why? and are you saying that va officials had something to do with this, whether neglect or having a direct link? >> well, i'm going to say that there was, in my opinion, i
5:18 pm
can't, i don't feel there was a direct link as if, you know, one of the medical directors, or i mean the doctors or any of those people just purposely provided this type of drugs to this individual. but at the same time, they were aware that cocaine use and other illegal drugs were being abused up there. you know, when i reported this myself, i would have figured they would have stepped up the security level, if you will and the checks and balances inside of this residential program. and they didn't. so in a sense, indirectly, you know, if you had to point fingers you would have to point it in that direction. gerri: thomas you paid a price for this. you're not doing the job you were doing. what are you doing now? >> yes, i've been removed. well i was temporarily reassigned, to be honest with you, to an administration position. and, you know, it is again, just part of the vicious cycle of, i provide information to the
5:19 pm
bigwigs. in fact i provide ad memorandum, an official memorandum to the facility director and in that memorandum, i actually said to him, if something is not done, you know, i'm going to have to go to the secretary of the va, general shinseki. i'm going to have to go to the media, because, they are doing absolutely nothing. the answers that i received, i received three different lies. not just me, but the officers that work alongside me. we've all received lies. and it just need to stop, is really what it does. i spoke with an individual yesterday, pertaining to nicholas cutter. i was absolutely beside myself at what i heard. that the miami va said to these people, i have to be honest with you, gerri, i'm actually ashamed that this is actually happening, i really am. gerri: wow. we appreciate your many could
5:20 pm
coming on the show, telling us about your experiences. telling you what you learned. making it all public. our viewers are very interested in this story. thomas, thank you. as more progresses on story we may have to have you back. thank you so much. >> well, i am always here. thank you very much. i appreciate it. gerri: best wishes, thank you. still to come, cash is king. one cash challenge participant shares how he is handling leaving the credit cards at home and why more deaths might be blamed on gm's faulty ignition switches. what consumers need to know next. we're moving our company to new york state.
5:21 pm
the numbers are impressive.

[ male announcer ] see if your business qualifies. gerri: the death toll could climb much higher in the gm ignition switch recall. our ex-expert will explain why when we come back.
5:23 pm
5:24 pm
gerri: welcome back to the "willis report." well there may be more deaths related to the general motors ignition recall. that is the word from the man who heads the national highway traffic safety administration. joining us tonight from chicago, the executive editor of cars.com. joe, thanks for being with us. i am mystified why we can't get a precise number on how many people might have died from this ignition switch failure. now nhtsa, the cop on the beat when it comes to these things, saying it may more than the 13 we've heard over and over again from the company. how is this possible that we can't get a precise number? >> i think it is kind of a typical of a manufacturer of a product to be very slow and very methodical with claims of
5:25 pm
defects and injuries and deaths. what's happening now though is we know that general motors has counted among those 13 fatalities only forward collisions, frontal collisions where the airbag did not deploy because the ignition switch had turned out of the on position. but that doesn't explain the obvious problem when the ignition turns off in a car, you lose your steering. you lose your brakes. so you could lose your steering and go off the road. you could have a rollover. gerri: have a fatal crash. you mentioned -- >> exactly, have a fatal crash. >> mentioned that the companies are typically slow and methodical. 10 years is a long time. that is more than enough time to be slow and methodical and understand what the problems are. so were they trying to count the lowest number possible? do you think that's an issue? was gm saying let's look at just the frontal crashes, really at end of the day are only ones that we think count here? were they trying to backpedal? >> i'm not sure what their
5:26 pm
reasoning was behind it. originally the number was eight. now it is up to 13. i believe it will go much, much higher. dozens and dozens of lawyers out there, people who owned the vehicles or did own the vehicles and had collisions and they will come forward and say this is what is happening to me. some of them won't be true but i think a lot of them will. gm has blown this thing from the start. they have known about issues with the switch more than 10 years and they treated it as a technical service bulletin, something wrong with the switch itself rather than connecting the dots. bad switch equals engine turns off, equals huge safety issue. gerri: huge safety issue. >> it is possible, huge safety issue. it might just be gross incompetence behind it as opposed to some type of a cover-up but many aspectses of this don't pass the smell test. gerri: another one of those reports we're hearing out of canada now, there may have been deaths there as well from the same ignition switch problem
5:27 pm
much how much will that up a total number of people who have died due to this safety issue, this product the problem? >> it is hard to get details on who the people are in this list. i believe actually two of the 13 are from canada. the implication now though is because the u.s. has fined gm $35 million, which does seem kind of low, then the next step is for any other country, like canada or others that are involved, to take the same steps against general motors. gerri: joe, you know, we've been talking about this it seems for months now and i'm shocked how little has happened and how much information has been divulged. do you think that the company, is the company building bad cars? or, do they just have a problem in organizing all their information, getting it out to the press? are they doing a bad job of handling the situation? >> i think a few things are happening. one, just for context, recalls are happening all the time from
5:28 pm
all manufacture you ares. gerri: true. >> cars.com reported recalls in the past 30 days from 13 different brand. not including gm. gerri: but joe, before you go on, i know there has been a lot of recalls, not all of them result in deaths. >> right. gerri: this is why we're all concerned. there are not this ever cars, tens of millions of cars all over the world. >> sure. gerri: this gets attention for that reason if no other. >> right, what's happening now they are addressing an issue where they had some cars that were not strong. that was a period of gross cost cutting and now on top of that, in an attempt to just clear out any other lingering problem they have, they are just going through everything, every defect investigation that they have pending. again, something that happens all over the industry all the time but they're going through it. now does that mean that their cars are more defective just as they are? or is it just that they were too slow to do it in the past any think ultimately we're going to see, because there is so much
5:29 pm
more attention and fines, $1.2 billions fine to toyota just a couple months ago from the department of justice for not being forth coming with their unintended acceleration problems. this is going to make the automakers build up their defective investigation teams and probably be much quicker and probably have more recalls. but until the other guys start doing it, we don't know whether gm is actually just starting out with more dehe techs or they're -- defects and oddly the tip of the spear in following these new rules and trying to get out ahead of this stuff and get this whole period behind them. gerri: obviously, joe, more to come. hopefully that number will budge from 13, and if it does by not very many people. a very sad statistic. joe, thank you. >> thank you. gerri: well, talk about a strong market, for auto parts, legit or not, which is why a car stolen in the u.s. every 43.7 seconds. so which car is the most popular with thieves? in tonight's top five the most
5:30 pm
stolen cars. this is according to a new report by tracking and recovery system company lojack. rolling into number five, the chevy silverado. this has been making news lately since its 2014 and 15 models are part of the gm recall. but earlier versions of this pickup were still a go-to. number four, toyota corolla, compact car obviously with criminals for part stripping or resale. number three, another one of these, toyota camera. the camera is popular with chop shops for its parts. number two spot is honda civic. no wonder this sedan has been one of the nation's top selling cars for many, many years. number one stolen car is honda accord. the accord is take this top spot for the fifth year in a row. a big part of the accord's popularity with thieves, might be its popularity with customers. honda claims the accord sedan is best-selling cars to individuals in the u.s. market for first quarter of the of this year.
5:31 pm
more cars you sell and more cars you steal i guess. the most popular color for stolen cars? black. later in the show, wall street hits another all-time high. watching out for you and your money. could you go all cash all the time? ditch the credit cards? next some of your favorite cash challenge participants how they handle going credit card-free. ♪. can you start tomorrow?

5:35 pm
>> looking at the numbers, we have save more and spend less and also increased our communication. >> in the first month of the cached challenge we actually spent $330 less than we did in the month before the cached challenge. in the second month we actually spend $200 last. so we are saving money like crazy. >> i am here to say that if we can do it, you can as well. gerri: that is terrific. aren't they awesome? we will have them right here with me next week on site. so you won't want to miss that. and now to our other cached challenge participants. hello, it is good to see you. >> hello, good to see you and good afternoon. gerri: are used on track? >> yes, i am still on track and i got a chance to get some new clothes so i got some shopping
5:36 pm
done at the dc area outlet thread is amazing when you say that you're going to be on fox business network, you get dissented upon. i felt like julia roberts in pretty woman. [laughter] gerri: you have a suit in a tie on. you will very nice. >> thank you so much. gerri: did you spend all your money to do that? >> i did. i started out with a budget of $500. and i thought, what is the mexican get out of the bank you took the money out and i went shopping and i found out that i lost a bunch of weight recently. i had a chance to go in the first hour, half of it was gone. and i thought, now what? so i started looking for bargains and more bargains even more bargains. so i came out with good prices on things. but i also had to replace some major outfits as well. gerri: we are seeing some great
5:37 pm
pictures of you. i understand you actually are losing weight in part because of the cached challenge. so i don't want people to think that we are starving the cached challenge participants. >> this is a healthy change. it's all disciplined habits. when i go to the grocery store, i am not doing the impulse buying. when you stick to your budget and say i have $40 to spend, i tried to come out of the store with under $40 teary-eyed but once in a while you need to replace something or i have what i call it a fun meal or something to that effect. but overall the discipline of using cached is cash is helping me to stay within the budget. gerri: how are you with your savings goals right now? i think it is the savings for the end of the summer when he want to go to vegas? >> yes, i am up to $437 saved. it has been amazing. when i stay within the budget and i don't spend over what my allotted amount is, that extra
5:38 pm
money goes into this fund. over the past month it has really grown. it i was amazed even a couple of weeks ago when i saw a nice 100-dollar bump in the week because i didn't do the impulse buying or what have you. so was really a lot of fun. gerri: buying clothes by enclosing going to vegas, it sounds like you were having are having too much fun. but in reality what you are doing, and this is what i find so terrific, you want to get control over your money. you want to get control over your life and everything you do. so is that the road you're on? >> yes come as a single man i have to watch my budget. it's like i live on a fixed income similar to someone who is retired. since i don't have a dual income, it is one of those situations where i must take advantage of the budget and
5:39 pm
discipline myself for that. so there are benefits to that by saving money and by saving and spending within your means, forming a great habit. gerri: chris, you are looking so great. it is good to see you. and of course, now we want to hear from you. here's what some of you are sending me on our poll question today. are you sticking with ebay? casey says i gave up on them a long time ago and michael says we know nothing is sacred anymore so i expect better results tonight in other words, expect your information not to be stolen. and kay says i canceled my account. and sure, i will continue, many retailers make things available at great discount prices. so you guys are split. and coming up, a rally on wall street today. when the month of may is over, will the rally be over as enact home prices change.

gerri: stocks are rallying on wall street today. the s&p 500 closing at yet another new all-time high. upbeat economic data boosted investor confidence. so whatever happened to sell in may and go away? we are covering your assets tonight with jonathan hoenig and two important guests. thank you so much for being on the show. shane, and jonathan.
5:44 pm
okay, this market is on fire. >> you don't want to invest in an investment strategy just because it runs like sell in may and go away. and it's cute and memorable, but what's even more important in people's bottom line is how stocks are or how they are acting today in right now today stocks are still in a old market as evidenced by an all-time high. and you always want to invest with care. the trend remains up and trends tend to persist. gerri: okay, is jonathan keeping it safe? do you agree with what he is saying? >> i believe that jonathan is right for certain point. but i am very cautious and there's a lot of potential within the next few months.
5:45 pm
the money has to go somewhere. maybe you are usually -- are you still buying? >> yes, i am. there's definitely some good fundamentals behind what jonathan and sharon are both saying. it is only about 15 times earnings, technically the market is healing, and the earnings are going to be rising from that. the retail investor still hasn't got back in the market. so yes, the trend is your friend, as jonathan was kind of saying. and there are some fundamental reason why. the s&p 500 its 2000 this year and i said that before. gerri: okay, we will hold you to that. looking at a couple of different
5:46 pm
studies, news studies that show individual investors should be 100% stock. and so i don't believe that investors, even though should be 100% in anything. yes, they should own some stocks gerri: 100% stocks? you're not absolutely not, you have to be diversified. the market sometimes to suck you into a dangerous location. i believe you should be diversified.
5:47 pm
gerri: do you agree with 70%? >> well, you know, i like this rule to subtract your age, that does reflect the lifecycle investment. gerri: talking about marketing investors for some time, so why shouldn't eliminate you? >> to? >> well, i disagree for the long-term. but hedge funds not only proved
5:48 pm
