Chris and Mark discuss their work on getting a large community charter expansion for Dade County Federal Credit Union. This was the first and only NCUA-approved community charter expansion that required a public hearing due to its size. The public hearing process begins when a federal credit union asks to serve a specific local community. The proposed community must have a population of at least 2.5 million and include more than one political jurisdiction. Join this valuable conversation to find out more about this community charter expansion. You can download a case study on the process here:https://www.cucollaborate.com/credit-union-research/dade-county-fcu-case-studywww.cucollaborate.com

Their coverage of the Sam Bankman-Fried Trial is very entertaining.It's like driving by an ambulance ... you go slow.I highly recommend you give it a listen. Fried to Testify:per linkedin:Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the failed crypto exchange FTX, has decided to take the stand as early as Thursday in his criminal fraud trial. The move, announced Wednesday by his lawyers, appears to be a last-ditch attempt to salvage Bankman-Fried's defense, but it's a risky one, as it will expose him to cross-examination by federal prosecutors. It follows damaging testimony by former colleagues who have pleaded guilty to fraud and cooperated with prosecutors.Another factor in the decision to have Bankman-Fried testify is that lawyers have been able to restore his access to the ADHD drug Adderall. They claimed he wouldn't be able to "meaningfully participate" without it.
