This is one reason I like O'Malley

5. I *think*

Getting Glass Steagall put back into play is something that the every day joe on the right would push their representatives for.

There's so much common ground across the political spectrum on this issue.


This can be done. We can put back what was taken away AND we can add to it for individual criminal prosecution when the individual at the bank screws up!


I'm going to give another example - and the banking/financial industry has to follow it today - as does Telecom - we have strict rules because there are two things one needs to commit an act of terror -

A way to communicate to plan.
Money to implement.

Now let's say I have a known individual on the OFAC (Office Foreign Asset Control) who is a Pakistani National with known involvement in terrorist actions.

I allow my Global Support Team to ship him a phone to his known address in Pakistan. They've reached out to me and said, "JAG - is this okay?"

Me, the rep who reaches out and the possibly our third party international support device supplier -

All three of us face fines and imprisonment.

If the CEO of my company demands I do it in writing - bet you I'd keep that email to use as a bargaining chip to get his conviction.

Banks follow simple import/export rules today that are in the same space as Telecom.

This isn't difficult. It's not onerous to implement - and you know what?

It keeps you honest as an Individual within a large entity.


This CAN be done!
