Everything Compliance: The Summer Potpourri Edition

Welcome to a revamped Everything Compliance. We have a new host, Adam Turteltaub, and a new panelist, Rebecca Walker, who joins returning regulars Matt Kelly, Jonathan Armstrong, and Karen Moore for the next iteration of Everything Compliance. 

  • Matt Kelly highlights OFAC’s $1.05M settlement with FTI Consulting for indirectly providing services to sanctioned VTB Bank via a law firm payment conduit and creating a prohibited extension of debt when invoices went unpaid, emphasizing OFAC’s message that indirect dealings are treated like direct ones. 
  • Karen Moore reviews the NFL Rooney Rule’s intent and criticism; the Brian Flores discrimination lawsuit, which is moving forward in open court after the Supreme Court declined to compel arbitration; and Florida’s attorney general’s subpoena challenging the rule under state civil rights law, alongside trends in discrimination charges and potential changes to EEO-1 data reporting. 
  • Rebecca Walker shares NAVEX 2026 survey findings linking leadership “say vs. do” gaps to higher violations. 
  • Jonathan Armstrong covers an Italian Garante fine (€190,000) against ITA Airways for overly broad digital forensics and GDPR process failures, underscoring the importance of scoping, vendor management, and documentation.

Betting the Game

Betting the Game: Athlete as Bettor – Governance, Education, and Integrity Risk in a Mobile Betting Era

Betting the Game is a 10-part podcast series exploring how sports gambling reshaped the business, culture, and integrity of athletics across professional and amateur sports. Hosted by Tom Fox and Mike DeBernardis, the series examines the real-world collisions between betting markets, athlete conduct, institutional oversight, and public trust. Each episode looks at a different pressure point, from player betting and college sports to prop bets, insider information, and the governance failures that can put the credibility of competition at risk. At its core, the series asks a simple but urgent question: as gambling became mainstream in sports, did ethics, compliance, and oversight keep pace?

In episode two of “Betting the Game,” Tom and Mike examine athlete gambling as a sensitive threat to sports integrity in a legal, mobile, and normalized betting environment, arguing that the issue is fundamentally one of legitimacy and governance rather than optics alone. They discuss how frictionless app-based wagering increases the risk for insiders with access to information and influence over outcomes, even in the absence of match-fixing. Using NFL suspensions (e.g., betting from team facilities or on prohibited sports), the Jontay Porter NBA case (alleged manipulation of player prop outcomes, lifetime ban, and wire fraud charges), and MLB’s lifetime ban of Tucupita Marcano for betting on baseball, they emphasize that punishment must be paired with year-round, scenario-based training, aligned commercial and integrity messaging, early-warning monitoring and escalation systems, confidential Q&A channels, club accountability, and a culture that reinforces integrity before violations occur.

Key highlights:

  • Why Leagues Must Act
  • Jontay Porter Integrity Crisis
  • Baseball Zero Tolerance
  • Integrity Of Gambling Markets
  • Mobile Betting Temptation
  • Building Prevention Frameworks
  • Five Point Governance Plan
