No Comments on Red Flags Rising: S01 E28: The Long-Awaited “50% Rule” – Key Takeaways and Liability Pitfalls to Avoid

Mike and Brent return with their take on a hotter-than-hot topic, the Bureau of Industry & Security’s new “50% Rule,” effective yesterday, September 29, 2025. Mike and Brent discuss the news of the rule’s announcement and the basics of what it does (00:46); the fact that the rule was effective immediately upon filing for public review, i.e., on September 29, 2025 (02:24); the fact that 50% is not some threshold under which risk goes away (06:19); how commentary suggesting that a “loophole” has been closed is not entirely accurate because such a loophole never existed in the first place (08:12); the requirements (including a description of due diligence performed) under a new, unique license application process (09:45); what enforcement risks are likely to arise in the government’s implementation of the new rule, especially if the government compares pre-rule trade flows to post-rule trade flows (10:43); the importance of not making a quick decision in how to respond to the new rule that you might later regret (12:23); the dangers of misreading the new rule to permit entity-shifting as an appropriate response (15:53); BIS’s caution that the rest of the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) still apply, separately from the Entity List (18:43); the admonition by BIS that “exporters, reexporters, and transferors have an affirmative responsibility to know the ownership of the foreign companies that are parties to a transaction” (19:45); the statement in the rule that those same actors “must adopt a risk-based compliance program to assist them in complying with these requirements” (20:14); the new “Red Flag 29” added to the BIS Know-Your-Customer (KYC) Guidance (21:05); and the importance of the explanatory text’s reference to “control” (irrespective of ownership) by a listed entity as a “red flag” requiring further due diligence (21:59).

Mike and Brent conclude with another installment, back by popular demand, of Brent Carlson’s “Managing Up” segment (24:57).

No Comments on Compliance into the Weeds: Amplified Risks: Navigating Corporate Challenges in the Age of Social Media

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss the bot attack on Cracker Barrel during its abortive name change imbroglio.

They explore the notion that social media risk is not a new concept, but rather an amplifier of existing risks for companies. It discusses the heightened potential for misinformation about a company’s values and how social media platforms have magnified this risk. Regulatory measures and accountability issues are addressed, with a nod to the role of prominent figures like Elon Musk. The episode underscores the inevitable, albeit unfair, reality of managing these amplified risks in today’s digital landscape.

Key highlights:

Introduction to Social Media Risks
Amplification of Existing Risks
Challenges in Managing Misconceptions
The Unavoidable Reality of Social Media Accountability
