State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman took on some of the biggest names in the country in 2016—suing Domino’s Pizza and Credit Suisse, finally getting claims against former AIG CEO Maurice “Hank” Greenberg before a jury, and getting Donald Trump to pay millions to New Yorkers who claimed they were defrauded by Trump University.

Online fantasy gaming sites FanDuel and DraftKings agreed to pay $12 million to have Schneiderman drop false advertising claims against them.
