Equifax Data Breach Case
After the colossal Equifax data breach, should CEO Richard F. Smith be put in jail? According to NBC, the breach affected up to 143 million people. This is nearly half the population of the United States. The breach revealed credit card numbers, social security numbers, addresses, and other information. NBC also stated the breach did not just affect Equifax customers meaning everyone should be cautious. These and other reasons are why individuals believe Richard F. Smith should be jailed. Richard, however, should not be sent to jail. One reason why he should not be is because breaches are almost destined to happen. You do not know if it is tomorrow or in thirty years, but someone’s data network will eventually be breached. Going along with

    Fannie Mae is the common name of the Federal National Mortgage Association, also abbreviated as FNMA. It is one of two of America’s largest mortgage companies, along with Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation – FHLMC).1 Fannie Mae guarantees and purchases loans from mortgage lenders to help ensure families can buy new homes or refinance.2 Fannie Mae was founded in 1938 as part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal during the Great Depression.

    What Is Fannie Mae's Accounting Fraud

    1. Fannie Mae was established in 1938 as a federal charter under President Franklin Roosevelt as a secondary market to expand the flow of mortgage money under any economic condition because millions of Americans could not become homeowners before Fannie Mae. In 1968 Fannie Mae was rechartered by congress as a shareholder owned company, funded solely with private capital raised from investors. The charter is directed to increase the availability and affordability for homeownership for low, moderate, and middle-income families. Fannie Mae purchases home mortgages from banks, guaranteeing them, and then resells them to investors, which helps the banks to eliminate the credit and interest rate risk. (Fannie Mae Case) Fannie…

    Home Depot Ethical Dilemma Paper

    In 2008, the CEO, Frank Blake was implicated for failing to report employee abuse. The allegation indicated tends from forgery, falsifying documents, harassment, and retaliations. Blake was aware of, and in numerous instances, participated in the alleged abuse, cover-ups and retaliatory actions, which involve the stockholders to demand the termination of Blake.

    Brock Turner Case Study

    I have a huge issue with the sentencing of Brock Turner, a former student of Stanford University. Turner was charged and convicted of three counts of felony sexual assault. He sexually assaulted a 22 year-old-woman who was unconscious and intoxicated behind a dumpster on the college campus. At the end, the judge sentenced turner to six months in a county jail and three years of probation. He also must register as a sex offender, and participate in a sex-offender treatment program. Turner is scheduled to be released tomorrow from a county jail – three months early for good behavior.…

    Bernie Ebbers Gone To Jail Essay

    Bernie Ebbers should have gone to jail. I disagree with the 25 year length of his sentence but he is at least partially to blame for the WorldCom fiasco. I think the government used the length of the sentence to prove a point and the only prior sentence comparable to this was John J. Rigas from Adelphia Communications earlier in the year . I think the CFO Scott Sullivan got a light sentence and consciously knew what he was doing and could have put a stop to it. He should have been the good advisor telling Ebbers not to proceed with this fraud. Ebbers probably could not have figured out how to produce this type of fraud without financial experts doing the dirty work. Even if Ebbers was the one telling his accountants to cook the books, his accountants and the auditors should have put a stop to it. There were too many people that knew what was going on. Somebody should have said this is not right and I could not live with myself if I did this.…

    Medicare Fraud Case Study

    Emily, I also believe that providers can establish a reasonable expectation as to how Medicare will act. Medicare bundles billings for a reason, and there is a set fee schedule for a reason, so for providers to assume that individual billing of procedures or testing is acceptable to me seems unreasonable and bundling helps to assure that Medicare is not being taken advantage of by providers. As our textbook states, the “Total national health expenditures are expected to continue to rise and to reach about $4.5 trillion per year by 2020….Because the government is such a large purchaser of healthcare services, it is an obvious target for fraud” ((Pratt, 2016, p. 523). It is evident why Medicare reacts in the manner that it did in this court case…

    Enron Case

    Athens has long prided itself and itself as a hub for stimulating intellectual conversations, spurring philosophy, mathematics, and the arts. The reason that new and exciting ideas come from Athens, the democrats argue, is that merchants and sailors are permitted to travel to far off countries and expose themselves to new ideas, and bring them home; foreigners are likewise permitted to enter the city and have conversations with the Athenians as equals. Having these different ideas challenging one another spurred ever more ideas, and old ideas became better developed. The democratic environment, it seems, is the catalyst for new and exciting innovations, and innovation is what keeps Athens strong and adaptable.…

    Prison Gangs

    The American system of justice should punish criminals correctly and when in serious need, the reform system should take over and punish them severely. The system of criminal justice in America is used to deal with crimes it cannot prevent and criminal it cannot deter is not a consistent system. It was not designed or built in one piece at one time. Its philosophic core is that a person may be punished by the government if, and only if, it has been proved by an honest and intentional process that he or she has violated a specific law. Around that core layer upon layer of institutions and procedures, some carefully constructed and some improvised, some inspired by principle and some by resource, have accumulated. Parts of the system magistrates'…
