Plaid is now known at DOJ as a payments disruptor as much as a picnic blanket design choice.

After shaking down Bain for evidence, DOJ files suit to stop Visa purchase of Plaid, a nightmarish turn of events for the $5.3-billion dream deal

Yodlee wobbled for 18 months but it never tumbled into the abyss.

Never mind the short-term gains, Bill Crager tells Wall Street he's keeping Yodlee as it wins back accounts from the Plaid-era firms with oodles of value yet to be unlocked
