It’s Time to Wake Up, America!
Last week the New York Times published the article “Wall St. Whistle-Blowers, Often Scorned, Get New Support” by William Cohan about Bank Whistleblowers United. This is gratifying and exciting news, as it focuses more attention and brings more eyes to the goals our new group is committed to. As I explained in a recent article, four former whistleblowers, including myself,… [Read More]
Campaign Contributions and Politicians’ “Promises”
This post is not about conspiracy theory nor is it a political statement. Just an ironic commentary on the influence peddling that goes on between politicians and big companies, which unfortunately hurts the economy, the taxpayer and small business. Recently my colleagues, Gary Aguirre, William Black, Michael Winston and I formed a probono group and policy… [Read More]
We Need To Speak Up, Loud and Clear!
Over 450 educators were in my audience this last weekend when I addressed the members of the American Accounting Association Auditors Section, the largest community of accountants and auditors in academia, So what happened, I asked them? In the financial crisis, how was it possible that all of the large financial institutions that either failed or were bailed out… [Read More]
The Large Bank Stranglehold is Tightened!
I continue to tell my audiences the large banks have a “stranglehold” on our country and that “The Dodd-Frank provisions attempting to place controls on the large banks have been systematically gutted …” As 2015 comes to a close all eyes in Washington D.C. are looking at a critical deadline which looms over Congress, our… [Read More]

Breaking News: The Congress Blog posts my op-ed
Every once in a while I ask myself if I’m making any headway in getting the attention of Congress’ Senate Banking Committee and House Financial Affairs Committee. You may recall, this last year when I appeared on Bloomberg, I asked for a Congressional investigation into the “Too Big to Fail” malfeasance. Even though I keep… [Read More]
Billboards Urge Wall Street Employees to Report Financial Crimes with Whistleblow Wall Street Campaign

Several newspapers and media outlets are reporting on the campaign, some more favorably than others. This Sunday’s New York Post, headlined its business section feature article,“Billboards urge… [Read More]
Whistleblow Wall Street – A Call to Action!
I’m a firm believer that, eventually, if there is enough of a public outcry, we can make a difference and impact the path this country and our government is taking. For some time, I have been calling for greater accountability from the large Wall Street banks and have openly questioned why the Department of Justice… [Read More]
A Test Case for the DOJ’s New Policy?
In my last post: New DOJ Policy to Prosecute…Real or Smokescreen?, I commented that the DOJ’s new policy to go after individuals who commit financial crimes — not just settle for fines, was a step in the right direction. I also expressed some cynicism, given their track record so far. While it’s my belief that… [Read More]
