That's exactly what's happening with firms like AG Morgan Financial Advisors—built on a deceptive name, run by repeat offenders, and allowed to operate while regulators look the other way. Chris breaks down the suspensions, the arbitration losses, the long rap sheet, and why so many retirees lost millions before anyone stepped in. This episode is a blunt warning: you're on your own unless you do the homework, check the records, and know who you're dealing with. Don't be shark bait.

Regulators around the world, from the US to Singapore and Australia, are trying to revive initial public offerings. The London Stock Exchange raised less than $2 billion since the beginning of 2024, its worst drought since 1998, while the number of publicly listed companies in the US has halved from 8,000 in 1996. Regulatory burdens, litigation risks and abundant private capital have pushed companies to remain private. Paul Atkins, chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, has vowed to "make IPOs great again". But what can regulators do to entice companies to list? And why is Hong Kong bucking this trend – the city is on track to raise more than $40 billion this year and has a pipeline of more than 300 mainland Chinese firms seeking listing. Larry Tabb, Bloomberg Intelligence head of market structure research, and Sharnie Wong, BI senior analyst – diversified financials, joins John Lee on the Asia Centric podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this 2025 Week 47 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, host Ingrid and co-host Henning review another challenging week in global ship recycling as forums and frictions shape sentiment across South Asia. Oil futures slipped to around USD 57.7 per barrel, freight rates stayed active but below last year's highs, local steel plate prices weakened in key recycling destinations, and currency devaluations in India and Bangladesh continued to erode recyclers' purchasing power. Regulators in the United States and European Union also moved ahead with new sanctions on Russia and Iran, targeting dark fleet activity and raising questions over how hundreds of older vessels will eventually be recycled. Global Market Overview Market volatility persisted through late November. Oil prices are now more than 6% lower on the month and around 16% below the same period in 2024. The Baltic Dry Index improved week on week but remains far under last year's levels, which limits demolition candidates even as older tonnage creeps closer to recycling age. Combined with softer steel prices and unstable foreign exchange markets, this has kept supply tight and negotiations cautious at ship recycling yards. Bangladesh Bangladesh remains the price leader in South Asia, with demo indications around USD 410 per LDT for dry bulk, USD 430 for tankers, and USD 440 for container vessels. Despite the pricing edge, 2025 has been thin on actual volumes. Inflation has hovered between 8% and 9%, and the Bangladeshi Taka weakened again to roughly BDT 122.5 per USD. Local steel plate prices slipped to about USD 525.9 per ton as yards struggle to move stockpiled recycled steel while cheaper imported scrap continues to pressure domestic demand. Political tensions ahead of the February 2026 elections and sporadic unrest are adding to the cautious tone. On the positive side, Bangladesh has now reached 20 HKC approved yards, with more facilities working through the certification process and ongoing worker training through the GMS Sustainable Ship and Offshore Recycling Program. India The Alang recycling market stayed quiet. Few new deals were reported as Indian recyclers faced a sharp currency move. The Rupee fell to around Rs 89.6 per USD, bringing it close to the Rs 90 level that undermines confidence in future pricing. Steel plate prices improved slightly to approximately USD 398 per ton but remain below the USD 400 threshold. Smaller or less preferred ships are still priced under USD 400 per LDT even though nominal demo indications stand near USD 380 for bulk carriers, USD 400 for tankers, and USD 410 for container ships. With limited tonnage, weaker currency, and competition from lower-cost imported steel, Alang's yards are under pressure, and India's long-standing advantage as the main HKC compliant destination is beginning to narrow as Bangladesh and Pakistan add more approved yards. Pakistan Pakistan delivered the week's most encouraging structural development. Gadani's first HKC compliant recycling yard is expected to receive formal approval shortly, with two or three additional yards targeted over the next few months and further upgrades planned into mid 2026. This represents a significant step in bringing Pakistan fully into the compliant recycling landscape. In the short term, however, trading conditions remain subdued. Domestic steel plate prices fell by USD 11 to around USD 586 per ton, still the highest level in the region but weighed down by cheaper product imported from Iran. The Pakistani Rupee firmed slightly to about PKR 282.6 per USD, yet this was not enough to lift sentiment. For the third consecutive week, there were no meaningful fresh market arrivals, and demo indications remain around USD 400 per LDT for bulkers, USD 420 for tankers and USD 430 for containers. Turkey The Aliaga market was steady but very quiet. Prices held in the USD 260 to 270 per LDT range for bulk and tanker units and close to USD 280 for container vessels. The Turkish Lira weakened further, moving beyond TRY 42.4 per USD. Steel plate prices and demand were largely unchanged, leaving local yards operating in a constrained, high cost environment with little new tonnage to work on. Market Sentiment and Outlook Across South Asia and Turkey, ship recyclers are facing the combined weight of weaker currencies, softer or stagnant steel values, and a limited flow of recycling candidates. At the same time, HKC progress in Bangladesh and the first approvals in Pakistan are building a stronger foundation for compliant and sustainable ship recycling in the years ahead. As 2026 approaches, attention is turning to how the industry will manage the growing pool of aging dark fleet ships and 30 year old vessels once freight markets ease and demolition activity finally starts to pick up.

Did you know Amazon makes $37 billion a year—more than double the revenue of all the newspapers in the world combined—from its sponsored results alone? Yes, the same, spammy, sponsored results at the top of a search that bilk shoppers with fake or low-quality items and can starve legitimate businesses of traffic and revenue.This is one of the many insights shared by our guest this week, Tim Wu, in his new book, “The Age of Extraction: How Tech Platforms Conquered the Economy and Threaten Our Future Prosperity.” He argues that the defining story of the modern internet isn't openness or democratization, but rather wealth extraction: the ability of gatekeeping Big Tech platforms, such as Amazon, Facebook, or X, to take money from everyone else without actually providing net value in return. Platforms weaponize convenience, he writes, so switching to competitors or smaller platforms is designed to be exhausting. Add in AI technologies that foster emotional relationships with users, and our dependence on them may deepen even more.An author and professor at Columbia Law School, Wu served in the Biden administration as Special Assistant to the President for Technology and Competition Policy. He discusses with Bethany and Luigi why we should care about Big Tech value extraction and posits how Big Tech power arose in the first place: from centralized power to shareholder pressure, from poorly aligned corporate structures to nefarious intentions. Together, they also chart how we can make our way out of this era of extraction. They discuss the feasibility of treating Big Tech platforms like utilities, applying frameworks for structural separation between the platforms' various services, decentralizing digital network infrastructures through interoperability to allow users to switch more easily between different platforms, and how economic populism influences the political messaging around these issues. Ultimately, Wu makes the case for embracing a philosophy of decentralized capitalism to achieve a fairer and beneficial balance between public and private power. Read more from Tim Wu in ProMarket:The Consumer Welfare Standard is Too TaintedOver recent years, the antitrust law appears to be returning to its historical standard, the “competition and competitive process” standard, often referred to in the Supreme Court as the goal of “protecting competition.” In this post, Tim defends this trend for rule-of-law reasons and presents a realistic assessment of the legal system's capabilities and its limits.A Conversation with Tim WuA transcript of Tim Wu's keynote in conversation with Binyamin Appelbaum of The New York Times from the Stigler Center's annual Antitrust and Competition Conference archives.

Wherever Jon May Roam, with National Corn Growers Association CEO Jon Doggett
For more than 50 years, the Environmental Species Act has regulated the way that farmers can use certain crop tools, like pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. But American farmers are experiencing the most significant change in ESA policy yet, as the judicial system compels the Environmental Protection Agency to adapt its policies and comply more precisely with the law as it's written. So in this episode, we're learning about how NCGA remains active in the public input process for this policy change, ensuring that growers do not lose access to the tools that help them feed and fuel the world. We'll speak with Dr. Becky Langer, NCGA's Director of Inputs and Innovation, about how the process is playing out, how NCGA has partnered with the EPA, and what the impact will be when it's all said and done.

This Day in Maine for Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
The FDA Group's Nick Capman sits down with Maria Vassileva, PhD—Chief Science & Regulatory Officer at the Drug Information Association (DIA)—for a grounded, forward-looking discussion on how regulators are actually using AI today, where the technology is going, and what life science organizations should be preparing for now.Maria draws on two decades of leadership across nonprofit, government-funded clinical research, and biomedical science programs—spanning patient registries, clinical trials, multi-stakeholder consortia, DEI initiatives, and regulatory strategy. As the head of DIA's global science and regulatory portfolio, she works closely with regulators, industry sponsors, academia, and technology developers to advance responsible, evidence-driven innovation.In this conversation, Maria breaks down the reality behind AI in the regulatory ecosystem: what's currently in use, how agencies are evaluating and validating tools, why risk-based tiers matter, and how the field is moving toward lifecycle oversight rather than one-time checks. She also highlights the ethical and equity considerations that must be embedded from the start and shares insights from global regulatory trends and DIA's convening role.Key topics discussed include:How regulatory agencies are already using AI internally for document-heavy workflows, safety surveillance, and information retrievalWhy validation must focus on end-to-end workflow integrity, not just the modelThe emerging role of risk-based tiers for AI-enabled toolsThe importance of lifecycle control frameworks such as TPLC and PCCPsGlobal convergence themes around transparency, bias mitigation, and human accountabilityHow agencies are preparing for increasing AI adoption—and what industry teams should be doing nowDIA's role as a neutral convener helping harmonize expectations and accelerate responsible innovationAbout The FDA GroupThe FDA Group helps life science organizations rapidly access the industry's best consultants, contractors, and candidates.

Today's special episode features Steve's recent Business Matters broadcast interview with Juliette Foster, featuring conversation about critical cybersecurity challenges facing organizations today. Steve and Juliette discuss targeted phishing, the growing threat of Crime-as-a-Service, the increase in AI-driven cybercrime, and more. Key Takeaways: Cyber attacks will continue to increase, and businesses must adjust. Regulators must strike a balance to have clear guidelines without stifling businesses. To take advantage of new technologies like AI, businesses must invest in upskilling their employees. Tune in to hear more about: Why cyber crime is on the rise (2:17) How cyber criminals target their victims (4:00) Solving the cyber skills shortage (29:02) Standout Quotes: “The bad guys only need to get lucky once and they can cause havoc. And so the sorts of numbers you are seeing are them plugging away at it, trying to break down defenses, trying to find a way through. And on the defensive side, of course, we have to be at the top of our game 24/7, and that's just impossible.” - Steve Durbin “We also have very complex supply chains now that obviously are made up of small to mid-size companies. [...] So an easier way of accessing some of this high value information is often via the third party. So you don't necessarily need to be attacking the larger enterprise. You can target a smaller to mid-size, which probably doesn't have the same level of defense, maybe not the same level of awareness. And because it's in the supply chain and sharing information, you can then access through to the larger enterprise.” Steve Durbin “You have to invest in actually looking at the skill sets that you need within your organization and making some hard calls, I think, as to whether or not you do have the right capabilities within your organization. That doesn't necessarily mean that you have to get rid of a lot of people. It means you probably do need to invest significantly in upskilling and training and thinking very hard about how you're going to use some of that new technology.” - Steve Durbin Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

In the EU, national regulatory authorities are meant to act without political interference — but how independent are they really? In this episode of the FSR Policy Briefcase (Season 2, Episode 9), hosts Leonardo Meeus and Emma Menegatti sit down with FSR part-time Professor Kaisa Huhta to discuss the evolving definition of regulators' independence in the EU. Drawing on Kaisa Huhta's recent Policy Brief, the discussion examines why regulators' independence matters, how recent European Court of Justice rulings have tested its boundaries, and what these cases mean for the future framework of energy regulation in Europe.

Send us a textIn this episode Nathan chats to two of the Guild Patrons, Rob Nezard from UK Radiators and Nick Baylis from Castrads about the issue of radiators being sold in the UK with overstated power outputs. Rob and Nick have been working with the Manufacturers Association of Radiators and Convectors (MARC) and now have the help of the Government body: Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), the National Regulator for construction products, enforcing the Construction Product Regulations. This level of government involvement is a significant development, and it validates the nearly nine-year campaign for transparency and accurate performance claims across the radiator and convector sectorMeet the Guild PatronsGuild Patrons help support the Guild of Master Heat Engineers disseminate quality information about current good practice.

With Jess running The Information's massive WTF conference and Sam off-grid on a mountain, Brit and Dave hold down the fort with Stuart Landesberg, CEO of Seneca, a Slow- and Offline-backed startup building autonomous firefighting drones. Between deep tech inside jokes, Stuart coins pro-America tech and breaks down how Seneca's five-drone strike teams deploy 500 lbs of foam across 30 square miles in under ten minutes—even at night. Wildfires now drain over a trillion dollars a year from the U.S. economy, and Seneca's model of detect early, respond fast, outperforms retrofitting homes or relying on pilots. With demand rising from cities, utilities, and insurers protecting $5T in assets, Stuart's focused on building long-term enterprise value, not chasing the AI hype cycle.Join the Seneca team: https://seneca.com/careers/Chapters:03:28 Stuart's path to Seneca and the wildfire problem10:36 The true economic cost of wildfires12:10 Prevention vs. suppression; prescribed burns and costs16:19 Exponential fire growth; strike teams and early knockdowns19:46 Autonomy + sensors; choosing actions in real time20:45 Five drones, 30 square miles, sub-10-minute response22:20 Night ops: why autonomy wins when pilots can't fly25:42 Regulators, HOAs, utilities: who's pulling adoption forward27:40 Capital, AI hype, and choosing long-term partners31:32 Founder advice; unexpected demand from private stakeholders39:38 Culture: Stoicism, Amor Fati, learning from crashesWe're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moreorlesspodConnect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/brit
How many decisions have you made today? Between managing a marriage, motherhood, and running your life (or business), the mental load is heavy. Our guest, Whitney Barkley, an AI guru and my college best friend, is here to address the madness of making 35,000 decisions a day—and how she got a handle on it.We're diving into how AI isn't just for coding and sci-fi; it's a "great equalizer" for Black-owned businesses and the ultimate "regulator for your nervous system". Whitney breaks down her "human-first" framework: AI should be the cherry on top, not the whole recipe. Plus, we talk about the fear I had (as a new mom) of adopting this tech, and why so many women are still hesitant. Stop letting fear keep you from using your tools!Tune in for the tea on how AI can help you:Draft that difficult conflict conversation.Lower your utility bills and manage finances.Plan a trip (like my upcoming Costa Rica adventure!).Get out of your own head and end the overthinking cycle.

What happens when the surge in electricity demand comes faster than we can build the infrastructure to support it? Live in front of an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, host Ed Crooks leads a conversation on the future of the US energy grid, skyrocketing load from data centers and electrification, and why politics keeps getting in the way of practical solutions. Neil Chatterjee, the former Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), has spent a long time working on the interaction of markets and policy in energy. He says: “America needs to take the politics out – or the lights go out.” Is overzealous federal regulation really undermining the reliability of the grid? How can we win support for realistic solutions that will keep the lights on and ChatGPT on line. Joining Ed and Neil to discuss these questions is regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, who is director of the Energy, Climate Justice & Sustainability Lab at NYU. She proposes that AI might not be the cause of both blackouts and a climate catastrophe. She argues that we might actually save more energy from using AI than we consume in powering the data centers that support it.Debating the issues with Amy, Ed and Neil is Cecilio Velasco, managing director in infrastructure at KKR, a global investment firm that deploys capital in infrastructure. Cecilio brings the investor view on what it will take to unlock the trillions in capital needed for a reliable and resilient energy system in the age of AI. The panel address the uncomfortable truth that the US may need every available electron – from wind and solar to batteries to nuclear power and gas – to meet its goals.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Deutsche Bank's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has become one of the most glaring examples of systemic failure in modern banking oversight. Despite Epstein's 2008 sex-offense conviction and widespread public knowledge of his trafficking network, Deutsche continued to handle his accounts for years—processing millions in transactions that should have triggered Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) under anti–money laundering laws. Regulators later discovered that Epstein moved funds through dozens of entities, wiring large payments to women and alleged co-conspirators described in memo lines as “school payments” or “consulting fees.” Rather than flagging these for review, compliance officers reportedly waved them through. In 2020, the New York Department of Financial Services fined Deutsche Bank $150 million for what it called “significant failures in monitoring Epstein's transactions and relationships.” The investigation showed the bank maintained Epstein's accounts even after multiple internal warnings and public reports about his predatory history.The fallout didn't end there. In 2023, Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $75 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by Epstein's victims, who alleged the bank knowingly profited from his trafficking enterprise. The lawsuit claimed Deutsche facilitated his abuse by allowing financial flows that sustained his network of recruiters, victims, and offshore shell companies. While the bank publicly stated it regretted its “association” with Epstein and pledged to tighten controls, critics argue its conduct went beyond negligence—it was willful blindness. Congressional oversight committees later revealed that Deutsche had processed over $1.5 billion in transactions linked to Epstein and his associates without timely SAR filings. To many observers, the episode epitomized how global banks too often treat the ultra-rich as untouchable, turning compliance into performance rather than protection.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Erie Meyer, Senior Fellow at Georgetown Law's Institute for Technology Law & Policy and Senior Fellow at the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator, and Laura Edelson, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Northeastern University, who are coauthors of the recent toolkit, “Working with Technologists: Recommendations for State Enforcers and Regulators,” join Lawfare's Justin Sherman to discuss how state enforcers and regulators can hire and better work with technologists, what technologists are and are not best-suited to help with, and what roles technologists can play across the different phases of enforcer and regulator casework. They also discuss how to best attract technologists to enforcement and regulation jobs; tips for technologists seeking to better communicate with those lawyers, compliance experts, and others in government with less technology background; and how this all fits into the future of AI, technology, and state and broader regulation.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
