Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. Today we consider the GameStop matter through the lens of the compliance profession. Some of the issues we consider are:
- What is the background?
- What are the compliance implications of this matter?
- Is this a black swan event or just ‘business as usual?
- Short sellers in the bulls-eye?
- The role of the regulators?
- Who are Robinhood’s stakeholders?
- What is the more relevant precedent; Long Term Capital or the Panic of 1907?
- What is the role (or responsibility) of social media?
