BG45 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 van de Bunt (2010) Topic: White Collar Crime and the Great Recession 1) "trusted" criminals do a great deal of harm. 2) Article focuses on the Madoff ponzi scheme and Dutch construction price fixing cartel schemes. For the later there were literally thousands of perpetrators but no one who knew cared enough to speak up. Meeting places for illicit meetings according to a Parliamentary inquiry included hotel rooms, motorway diners, and a chicken coop. 3) Need to encourage employees to speak out, as supervision and regulation have proven they are not the entire answer as they were willingly blind in both of these cases, including an academic in 2005 who gave the SEC a 29 red flag memo on why he felt Madoff was running a Ponzi scheme. It was read and then decided that it was a coincidence, as Madoff was above reproach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Laufer (2010) Topic: White Collar Crime and the Great Recession 1) Corporate crime in the US is episodic. We have a problem, we get reforms, corporations pretend to play nice or actually do, then people remember there's money to be had in crime.

BG45 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Minkes (2010) Topic: White Collar Crime and the Great Recession 1) Whistleblowers always suffer for their actions. These range from the whistleblower in the Dutch construction scandal [i]and his son[/i] being blacklisted in the industry to Stanley Adams, a whistleblower in pharmaceuticals that was arrested and charged with corporate espionage and subsequently lost his liberty, wife, and money for exposing wrongdoings. Karen Silkwood's death is still being debated on what exactly caused the end of her life after whistleblowing safety concerns at a plutonium processing plant she worked for. 2) Corporate crimes lead to tougher policies against corporations. Each scandal is followed by more regulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Pontell & Geiss (2010) Topic: White Collar Crime and the Great Recession 1) a wholly distinctive body of law should be established that indicates what is and is not proper in regard to corporations and should not resort to analogies to living human beings to make that determination. After all, corporations cannot vote and are only allowed to live by governmental authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Reichman (2010) Topic: White Collar Crime and the Great Recession 1) Regulation works best when combined with fear, persuasion, and normative duties. 2) SEC teams are horribly inexperienced in regards to their own regulatory laws and tend to follow a checkbox approach to determine if fraud exists. If you aren't doing something that fits easily into a checkbox, then you're an out of context problem for the SEC that becomes difficult to prosecute.

Card stacks on the left are policy, different policy issue per stack. Card stacks on right are theories, different theory per stack. Every stack has 5-15 citations. The books are my study materials for methods. The digital recorder I've started to record myself on reading my cards so I can listen in the car.

BG45 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Grad School: You need to apply for funds for both your conferences now. Me: Okay Grad School: But you'll need abstracts for both of the applications. Me: One of them is in March so...can I change it if I go with a different topic? Grad School: Um, I dunno.
