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?
