RE

Rosemary Esposito, CPA (US)

This CPE was fantastic and explored a very relevant topic. The question left open is why so many young men and women think that regulator rules do not apply to them. Sam Bankman-Fried is not alone in thinking that he does not have to be transparent and honest when dealing with investors. Elizabeth Holmes also mislead investors and now is incarcerated as well,.

NS

Nathan Sartell, CPA (US)

I knew the high level issues surrounding the FTX case, but really enjoyed all the details presented in this class. It was also a big plus that the presenter has so much experience in white collar law inforcement and offered that unique perspective.
