Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance. Today, we have the full quintet of Jonathan Armstrong, Jay Rosen, Matt Kelly, Jonathan Marks and Mike Volkov for a potpourri of discussions and ending with a veritable mélange of rants and shouts outs.
- Jonathan Armstrong critiques the recent Aven decision which every compliance practitioner needs to be cognizant of going forward. Armstrong shouts out Abache Tundy, a Nigerian astronaut stranded on the Moon, who is attempting to Crowd Source a rescue mission home.
- Jay Rosen considers recent criminal charges brought by the DOJ and the first Opinion Release in 6 years. Jay rants about the Facebook plan to fight Trump’s fake news posting, which he believes is over 3.5 years too late.
- Matt Kelly considers the actions by the Postal Service execs to gut US mail service leading up the election, from the compliance perspective. Matt rants about Curt Schilling and his ill-advised business decisions off the field.
- Mike Volkov reviews the Business Roundtable’s Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation at the one-year anniversary of it release. He shouts out to Steve Bannon, who is looking at 51-63 months of jail time for fraud.
- Jonathan Marks considers the IIA for beginning the discussion to reconfigure its 3 Lines of Defense but says it does not go far enough. He rants about the unfairness of the criminal justice system, focusing on the Lori Laughlin sentence.
