Episode 96, the Spring Arrives Edition

Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance. The entire gang was also recently honored by W3 as a top talk show in podcasting. In this episode, we have the quartet of Jay Rosen, Jonathan Armstrong, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly. We conclude with our fan favorite Shout Outs and Rants.

1. Jay Rosen discusses the connection between corruption and the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the leadership differences between Presidents Putin and Zelensky. Rosen rants about Mavericks owner Mark Cuban over the allegations of former GM Donnie Nelson that Nelson was fired for reporting a sexual assault of a Maverick employee. 

2. Matt Kelly looks cybersecurity and the state of proposed new rules from the SEC governing the conduct of public companies which sustain a cyber breach.  Kelly rants about West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin opposes electric cars because customers would have to wait too long at charging stations for batteries to be replaced (electric car batteries are recharged not replaced).  

3. Jonathan Armstrong looks at the increase in cyber-attacks and ransomware demands and a GDPR enforcement action involving Tucker’s. Armstrong shouts out to TV show editor Marina Ovsyannikova who on live TV in Moscow, stood up to the President Putin by holding a sign which said, “Russian: “Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.” In English it said: “No war ... Russians against war." 

4. Tom Fox discusses the recent District Court decision in the Coburn case and what it means for all involved; the DOJ, companies under FCPA investigation and counsel who perform internal investigations. Fox rants about Texas AG Ken Paxton who once again disobeyed a District Court injunction forbidding the state of Texas from investigating the parents of transgender teens for child abuse.
