Episode 95, the Russia Invades Ukraine Edition


Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance. The entire gang was also recently honored by W3 as a top talk show in podcasting. In this episode, we have the quartet of Jonathan Marks, Karen Woody, Jonathan Armstrong, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly. We dedicate the entire episode to compliance issues arising from the Russia invasion of Ukraine. We conclude with our fan favorite Shout Outs and Rants.

  1. Karen Woody considers the impact of corruption in both Russia and Ukraine going forward. Karen shouts out to the Ukraine’s U.N. Ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya for his impassioned plea for Russia to stop its invasion of his country this week, at the United Nations.
  1. Matt Kelly looks at the export control issues and sanctions issued by the US and its allies in this arena. Kelly shouts out Jackson Reffitt, who testified against his father in his father’s Capital Insurrection trial.
  1. Jonathan Marks discusses the sanctions which have been levied by the Biden Administration, how to assess this evolving risk and the role of the Board in managing this risk. Marks rants about Bob Blaffert (again)  and shouts out to Sonny Johnson, an autistic basketballer who made the game winning shot that helped his team win its final game of the season.
  1. Jonathan Armstrong looks at how the shooting war in the Ukraine has spilled over into a cyber war across the globe. Armstrong shouts out to Paddington Bear for giving comfort to refugees across the globe and to the voice of Paddington Bear, Ukrainian President Zelensky.
  1. Tom Fox shouts out to the Texas GOP for stopping AG Ken Paxton from renomination in the party’s primary and for forcing him into a run-off with George P. Bush.
