Discover why the U.S. securities laws, despite being considered the global "gold standard," have significant flaws in their insider trading framework. Professor Marc Steinberg reveals how the current system, based on vague fiduciary duty concepts, creates unfair outcomes and legal uncertainties.Drawing from his book "Rethinking Securities Law," Steinberg highlights the stark contrast between U.S. regulations and other developed markets. While other jurisdictions clearly prohibit trading on material non-public information, the U.S. approach leaves concerning loopholes, particularly in M&A situations.Key insights include:The need for a comprehensive "access" approach to insider trading rulesProblems with SEC's extraterritorial enforcementTensions between SEC regulations and Supreme Court decisionsComparison with more effective EU and Singapore modelsReady to dive deep into the complexities of securities law and understand why reform is crucial? Listen to this eye-opening episode that challenges everything you thought you knew about U.S. insider trading regulations.Our GuestMarc I. SteinbergMarc I.

He has served as a Professor, Fellow, or has lectured at several other prominent universities, including the University of Cambridge, Oxford University, King's College London, University of Hong Kong, and University of Pennsylvania.  Professor Steinberg was an attorney for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He also has been retained as an expert witness in several high profile cases.  Professor Steinberg is the most prolific author of securities law scholarship in the United States, having authored more than 150 law review articles as well as approximately 50 books.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with returning guest Terrance Yang for a wide-ranging discussion on critical financial and societal issues. They explore the state of U.S. federal debt, drawing comparisons to historical periods like World War II, and consider modern-day parallels with Argentina's economic struggles and the election of Javier Milei. The conversation shifts to broader reflections on government waste, regulatory overreach, and the potential for AI to streamline bureaucracy and disrupt traditional finance. Terrance shares sharp insights on Bitcoin as a long-term investment and critiques other cryptocurrencies as vehicles for insider speculation. The episode also touches on market-making, trading psychology, and the rise of autonomous vehicles, hinting at the transformative impact of AI-driven innovation. You can connect with Terrance through his LinkedIn profile.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:35 Discussing U.S. Debt and Financial Insights02:14 Historical Context and Comparisons04:38 Libertarian Governments and Economic Policies08:55 Government Spending and Regulation18:21 Homelessness and Urban Challenges23:06 Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Insights26:22 Investment Strategies and Market Dynamics33:28 AI and Future Investments34:06 AI Market Predictions and Amazon's Strategy36:37 The Struggles of Big Tech with AI Integration38:21 The Future of Self-Driving and Flying Cars42:22 Investment Advice: Bitcoin and AI53:52 Argentina's Economic Lessons01:04:23 The Role of AI in Government and Society01:08:12 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey Insights1. The U.S. Debt Crisis Has Parallels to World War II, But the Path Forward is UnclearTerrance Yang highlights how the current U.S. debt situation resembles the debt spike seen during World War II. Back then, the U.S. "grew its way out" of debt as GDP growth outpaced debt growth. However, today's environment is more complex, with federal net outlays growing at an unsustainable rate. While the debt-to-GDP ratio appears alarming, Yang suggests that focusing on cash flow (tax revenue minus expenditures) as a percentage of GDP offers a more nuanced view. The big question is whether the U.S. can grow its way out of debt again or if fundamental spending cuts are required.2. Bitcoin is a Long-Term Bet, But Most Other Cryptos Are Insider GamesYang views Bitcoin as the only viable long-term store of value among cryptocurrencies, while labeling most altcoins as speculative vehicles designed to "pump and dump" retail investors. He advises listeners to avoid trading Bitcoin due to the dominance of market makers like Goldman Sachs, who use superior data and trading models. Instead, he recommends dollar-cost averaging and focusing on the long-term potential of Bitcoin as "digital gold." Yang cautions against chasing short-term gains in crypto, comparing it to amateur players trying to compete with professional athletes.3. Regulatory Overreach is Stifling American Efficiency, But AI Could Change ThatThe conversation critiques the inefficiencies in U.S. government bureaucracy, using California's high-speed rail project as a cautionary tale of regulatory bloat and government waste. Terrance Yang believes AI has the potential to streamline government services, automate repetitive tasks, and reduce the need for an ever-expanding workforce. He suggests that as government employees retire, many of their roles could be replaced with AI systems, leading to leaner, more efficient public institutions. This vision echoes similar efficiency models seen in Singapore and other high-performing nations.4. The Rise of AI-Enhanced Legal and Coding ProductivityYang points out how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT Pro are already allowing people to reduce their reliance on lawyers and coders. People are saving thousands of dollars in legal fees by using AI to review contracts and analyze legal risks. In coding, AI tools are helping developers find errors, refactor code, and improve efficiency. Yang himself plans to use AI to help document Bitcoin's core code, a project aimed at making the codebase more accessible to non-technical users. This marks a major shift in the accessibility of technical knowledge.5. Trading is a Rigged Game, and Most People Should Stay OutYang compares day trading to amateur athletes trying to compete with NBA stars like LeBron James. Most retail investors are going up against highly sophisticated market makers like Citadel and Jane Street, who have access to superior information, tools, and algorithms. He explains that market makers profit by always being ready to buy and sell, unlike retail traders who get caught up in emotional decision-making. The best option for most people, Yang says, is to avoid trading entirely and instead invest in low-cost index funds, like the Vanguard S&P 500 fund.6. Argentina's Crisis Offers Lessons for the U.S. on Debt and Welfare StatesDrawing on Argentina's economic collapse, the conversation explores how unsustainable welfare policies and out-of-control debt can bring a nation to its knees. Stewart Alsop notes that while Argentina's citizens are acutely aware of their country's fiscal dysfunction, many Americans remain oblivious to similar risks in the U.S. Yang and Alsop highlight that Argentina's reliance on printing pesos mirrors what could happen if the U.S. dollar's dominance weakens. Javier Milei's rise as Argentina's libertarian president signals a possible shift away from this broken system, but the U.S. appears far from having its own "wake-up moment."7. AI-Driven Automation Will Reshape Cities, Transportation, and JobsWaymo's driverless cars, which are already being tested in Los Angeles, represent a fundamental shift in how cities will operate in the future. Yang explains how autonomous vehicles could make traffic "less painful" by allowing passengers to be productive while stuck in slow-moving traffic. This shift will likely spur greater suburbanization as people find it more tolerable to live farther from work. Coupled with AI-driven automation in government and the workforce, the nature of cities and daily life is poised for a profound transformation, with L.A. potentially becoming more livable than it has been in decades.

Chinese authorities have slapped 441 million yuan ($62.1 million) in penalties and imposed a six-month business suspension on PwC's auditing unit in the country, after the entity was found to have "covered up and even condoned" fraud at Evergrande Real Estate Group.中国证监会、财政部就普华永道中国审计部门“掩盖甚至纵容”恒大地产财务造假的违法行为，处以罚款4.41亿元人民币（合6,210万美元），并暂停经营业务6个月。The China Securities Regulatory Commission said on Friday that PwC Zhong Tian LLP had failed to exercise due diligence in its audit of Evergrande Real Estate Group, the flagship subsidiary of Evergrande Group.13日，中国证监会表示，普华永道中天会计师事务所在对中国恒大集团旗舰子公司恒大地产集团有限公司进行审计时未勤勉尽责。In May, the CSRC had fined the troubled real estate developer some 4.18 billion yuan for fraudulent bond issuances and false statements.今年5月，中国证监会因其欺诈发行公司债券和虚假记载行为，对陷入困境的恒大地产处以约41.8亿元的罚款。Based on China's Securities Law, the commission confiscated the auditing unit's revenue involved in the Evergrande case of 27.74 million yuan and fined it 297 million yuan — totaling about 325 million yuan, which, according to the commission, was a "record-breaking" punishment against auditing firms.依据《中华人民共和国证券法》，中国证监会没收普华永道涉恒大地产案收入2774万元，罚款2.97亿元，总计约3.25亿元。中国证监会称，这是针对审计公司的“创纪录”处罚。The Ministry of Finance also said on Friday that, in accordance with the law of certified accountants, it had decided to impose a six-month business suspension on PwC Zhong Tian and fined it 116 million yuan, while closing down its Guangzhou office.13日，财政部也表示，依据《中华人民共和国注册会计师法》，决定对普华永道中天处以1.16亿元罚款，暂停经营业务6个月，同时撤销普华永道广州分所。CSRC and the Finance Ministry have examined PwC's role in the Evergrande fraud, in which the developer was found to have engaged in five fraudulent bond issuances based on false statements in the annual reports of 2019 and 2020.中国证监会和财政部已对普华永道在恒大地产欺诈案中扮演的角色进行了审查，发现恒大地产2019年、2020年的年报存在虚假记载，相关5次公司债券发行构成欺诈发行。CSRC said PwC Zhong Tian had violated multiple audit standards with inaccurate working papers and ineffective on-site inspections, failed to detect Evergrande's fraud and issued unqualified audit reports.中国证监会称，普华永道中天违反多项审计准则，审计工作底稿失真，现场走访程序失效，未能发现恒大地产的欺诈行为，并出具了标准无保留意见审计报告。"PwC's actions were not merely simple audit negligence or failure. To some extent, it covered up and even condoned Evergrande Real Estate's financial fraud and fraudulent bond issuances.“普华永道上述行为，不只是简单的审计失职、失效行为，它在一定程度上掩盖甚至纵容了恒大地产财务造假和欺诈发行公司债券。”"The actions severely eroded the foundation of law and integrity, significantly harmed the legitimate rights and interests of investors, seriously undermined market confidence and should be severely punished according to the law," said CSRC.对此，中国证监会表示：“这些行为严重侵蚀法律和诚信基础，严重损害投资者合法权益，严重破坏市场信心，依法应予严惩。”Citing the case, the Finance Ministry said it will continue to enhance supervision and inspection.财政部援引该案例表示，将继续加强监督和检查。"For any discovered cases of accounting and auditing fraud, we will investigate and punish them severely to ensure that regulation has 'teeth and thorns'."“对于发现的任何会计审计造假案件，我们都将严厉查处，确保监管‘长牙带刺'”。PwC issued a statement on its global website to say that PwC Zhong Tian's work in Evergrande's case fell unacceptably below expected standards. It said it respects the regulators' decisions and that it would fully comply with the administrative penalties.普华永道在其全球网站上发表声明称，普华永道中天对恒大地产的审计工作严重低于预期标准，令人无法接受。普华永道尊重监管机构的决定，并将全力遵守行政处罚。Dai Guanchun, a senior capital markets lawyer, said the punishments indicate that Chinese regulators are intensifying their crackdown on violations by capital market intermediary institutions according to law.资本市场资深律师戴冠春表示，这些处罚表明中国监管机构正在依法加强对资本市场中介机构违法违规行为的打击力度。The case could help deter other institutions from misbehavior as it would result in not only financial losses but reputational damage to PwC's China business, Dai added.戴冠春补充道，此案有助于遏制其他机构的不当行为，因为这不仅会给普华永道的中国业务带来经济损失，还会造成声誉受损。

Speaker: Professor Marc I. Steinberg (SMU Dedman School of Law)Abstract: This presentation, based on Professor Steinberg's recent Oxford University Press book Rethinking Securities Law, which was awarded Winner — Best Law Book of 2021 by the American Book Fest Awards, focuses on the need to “rethink” the U.S. securities laws — with particular emphasis on the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and as amended). In both transactional and litigation settings, with frequency, U.S. securities law mandates apply that are erratic and antithetical to sound public policy. The objective of this book — and the presentation — is to highlight the deficiencies that exist under the current regimen, address their failings, provide recommendations for rectifying these deficiencies, and set forth a thorough analysis for remediation in order to prescribe a consistent and sound securities law framework. The book has received widespread favorable reviews from both practitioners and academicians. Professor Steinberg will focus on several key subjects that are addressed in the book.3CL runs the 3CL Travers Smith Lunchtime Seminar Series, featuring leading academics from the Faculty, and high-profile practitioners.For more information see the Centre for Corporate and Commercial Law website at http://www.3cl.law.cam.ac.uk/

NCLA Asks SCOTUS to Hear Securities Law Appeal with Major 1st AmendmentImplications NCLA has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in Lemelson, et al. v. SEC, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a case that poses an important First Amendment issue. May the SEC punish commentary about publicly traded corporations that contains a few purported misstatements or omissions when a jury has cleared the accused of all fraud and deception charges? Surprisingly perhaps, the Supreme Court has never answered this question. So, for now, the SEC punishes such speech freely.

Professor J.W. Verret teaches corporate and securities law and financial accounting at George Mason Law School.  In this episode, Verret analyzes the recent verdict on Ripple's XRP token which concludes that "Ripple's Programmatic Sales of XRP did not constitute the offer and sale of investment contracts." In addition to providing a degree of regulatory clarity for crypto assets, Verret also argues that the court's decision in the XRP case will greatly improve Coinbase's chances in their court case against the SEC.

The episode concludes with reflections on a recent political event they both attended.--Donate here: https://t.co/PE1rfuVBmbFor more content follow me here:Twitter - @VivekGRamaswamyInstagram - @vivekgramaswamyFacebook - http://facebook.com/VivekGRamaswamyTruth Social - @VivekRamaswamyRumble - @VivekRamaswamy--Time-codes:00:01:14 - Vivek introduces Mark Lurie, a cryptocurrency authority, who starts sharing his insightful views on the subject.00:05:00 - Mark discusses the potential impact of cryptocurrency on the traditional financial system, highlighting its ability to disrupt the status quo.00:08:25 - Vivek delves into the idea of 'opting in' to traditional regulations for legal protections, bringing new perspectives to the crypto community's autonomy.00:14:19 - Mark introduces the concept of 'Know Your Transaction' (KYT), proposing it as a bridge between the crypto and traditional financial worlds.00:19:00 - Vivek comments on the purposeful vagueness of securities laws, questioning its intention to empower regulatory bodies.00:24:30 - Mark talks about how cryptocurrency can serve as a check and balance on the administrative state, sparking debates on checks and balances.00:26:30 - The discussion concludes with Mark and Vivek envisaging the long-term goals of cryptocurrency and its potential societal impact. 

Previously on The Scoop, Professor J.W. Verret explained how the ‘major questions doctrine' could put an end to SEC Chair Gensler's regulation by enforcement. In this episode, Verret continues his analysis of the SEC's recent enforcement actions against Coinbase and Binance, and examines the ways in which U.S. regulation of the crypto industry might be able to strike a balance between innovation and consumer protection.

Professor J.W. Verret teaches corporate and securities law and financial accounting at George Mason Law School. From May 2018 to March 2022, Professor Verret served as an Advisory Committee Member to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission where he represented the interests of investors in making recommendations to SEC Chair Gensler and other Commissioners. In part one of this two part interview, Verret explains how a principle of administrative law in the United States known as the 'major questions doctrine' could challenge the SEC's use of the Howey Test to determine if an asset is a security under federal law. According to Verret, the major questions doctrine is a way for the court to check the power of independent agencies: "If Congress has not given you specific authority to regulate a thing as an agency and you're seeking to regulate it, if it involves a major question of national, economic or political importance, then you need to get authorization from Congress before you do anything." The major questions doctrine will likely not be discussed until the SEC's lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance.US reach the appellate courts, says Verret, "but it's one of the things that looms over these cases, without a doubt."

Marc Steinberg, professor of law at SMU, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his article To Call a Donkey a Racehorse — The Fiduciary Duty Misnomer in Corporate and Securities Law. In this article Steinberg considers the rhetoric and reality of corporate fiduciary duty and concludes that directors, officers, and controlling shareholders are not fiduciaries strictly speaking but rather should be understood as having corporate-law-specific duties. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, assistant professor at Brooklyn Law School, with editing by Steven Rozenfeld, a third-year student at Brooklyn Law School.

Devin: What is your superpower?Elizabeth: My superpower. I think I have the ability to spark. Interests, movements, and to really, really get people going.Enjoy every episode!“To be honest, if [social justice] wasn’t part of my work, I would have no interest in securities,” Elizabeth Carter says, explaining how she sees the law as a tool to help underserved communities, especially women, Black and Afro-Latinx communities.“I’m a business capital attorney who represents investment companies, small businesses, even nonprofits and co-ops, with the legal strategy and compliance of raising capital from investors,” she says.Elizabeth worked in community development and sees crowdfunding as a tool incorporating community-building principles.She says her firm, Elizabeth Carter, Esq., LLC, helps people with essential securities compliance, including articles of incorporation, operating agreement, investment contracts and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or state regulators. She is now working to transition the firm to a co-op structure.Her focus on social justice comes from the problems she sees. “The issue is super stark. I mean, the statistics show that black women, despite being the most educated as in proportion to most with degrees, secondary degrees, leading—most likely lead—households, most likely to become entrepreneurs, are still the least likely to be funded.” She’s out to change that.Not only do underserved entrepreneurs face challenges accessing capital, Elizabeth says, they also have difficulty getting legal representation and other professional support.In this context, she says, “We have to talk about race.”She says that systemic racism is intentional. “We have to be intentional to reverse it.”For instance, she says that Black and Latinx communities are underinvested precisely because of who lives there. Too often, funding only becomes available for projects in these communities when white developers step in. She wants to see that funding available to developers, even the up-and-coming, in the community.Wanting to address these problems, Elizabeth sees herself and her team as more than lawyers. “Let’s be social equity lawyers, right? Let’s be community lawyers. Let’s focus beyond just the transactional work.”The progress she sees motivates her to keep going. “When you see a founder raise capital for their business that then brings back resources and other products and goods to real communities, that’s what really gets me going.”She sees crowdfunding as a primary tool—not a stand-alone solution—to these problems. Crowdfunding provides a model for an entrepreneur who represents the community they serve to raise capital from both the local community and the wider community. In this way, everyone in the local community benefits from the success. People outside the community who invest can earn a return on funds they commit to projects and businesses there.Elizabeth will speak at SuperCrowd22 on September 15-16. She will deliver a keynote address during the closing session of the conference. Don’t miss it! Readers register for half price with the code superpowers4good! Paid subscribers register for free. Email to ask me how.Elizabeth uses her ability to spark movements, her superpower, to both grow her business and drive the change she wants to see in the world.How to Develop Sparking Movements As a SuperpowerElizabeth is sparking movements in social justice by helping entrepreneurs, investment companies, nonprofits and co-ops. She’s also building a practice devoted to empowering women in her community.“The other part of the mission of the firm is to increase the diversity within securities law—crowdfunding right—from the legal perspective,” she says. “Black women represent about 2 percent in the legal field in general, 4 percent Black people as a whole.” She describes representation within the field of securities law as “dismal.”“Black women are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs,” Elizabeth says. “They’re going to need support. Who’s there to support them in a way that they can feel comfortable in the way that they understand that they will have confidence that the practitioner understands their challenges? That is where we come in.”Building on her goal to expand representation of Black women practicing law, she created a clerkship program to train Black women law students.”“When I was in law school, I had no interest in securities. I just thought of Wall Street and big corporations. I said that has nothing to do with our community or anything,” Elizabeth says. “But I was wrong. It was probably because crowdfunding was still relatively new when I was in law school, and I didn’t know anything about it. Looking back, I wish someone would have told me, you know, this is something you can use for good for a superpower.”“I’m very proud of the programming we’re building because I see the changes in these young women. For instance, one of them had actually been licensed since 2003 and said, “I didn’t feel the law was for me until I started working with you because you do it so differently.”Elizabeth has a bit of advice for those who would like to develop her superpower. “Don’t think of money first. Think of if you can do anything in the world and money was not an issue, what would you do?”By following Elizabeth’s example and advice, you can develop your ability to spark movements into a superpower that will help you do more good in the world.

When one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges (Coinbase) has an employee allegedly leaking valuable information to his brother and friend, the law will certainly have something to say.

What role should publicly traded corporations play in democratic politics?The 2021 National Lawyers Convention took place November 11-13, 2021 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The topic of the conference was "Public and Private Power: Preserving Freedom or Preventing Harm?" The first showcase panel discussed "Social Activism and Corporate Leadership."Corporate resources are increasingly being used to advance social justice policy goals. This corporate engagement includes advocacy for what’s presented as the “corporate perspective” on divisive social questions. It also includes the use of economic leverage to influence public opinion, affect government policy, and induce private agreements to policy choices that have not been adopted through the political process.To some, this is a positive development: it is all to the good for corporations to advance a just cause. Their public leadership and their market power can help bring the country and the world along. To others, this is an abuse and confusion of power. The goals of the “social justice” and “woke” movements are among the most hotly contested questions of American politics and culture, and they should be resolved through democratic processes without corporations putting a thumb on the scale.We will explore these questions both as matters of principle and matters of law.As a matter of principle, should corporations have unfettered discretion to influence any sphere of American life? Is such discretion good for the democratic process, and is it good for individual liberty? Is the libertarian perspective -- that private actors should be largely able to do what they want, and if they overstep, market competition will fill the gap – adequate to this dynamic? Is there any limiting principle to corporations using economic power to influence politics? As a matter of law, are corporations permitted to use whatever levers are available to them to influence matters of politics? Is corporate leadership permitted to do so in publicly traded companies? Should corporate endorsement or support of a policy position or candidate be considered a reportable lobbying expense or campaign contribution and, if so, how should it be valued? What existing legal frameworks might apply to these questions? How does Citizens United fit into this picture?Featuring:Prof. Margaret Blair, Professor of Law Emerita & Milton R.

In this episode, we had the fortunate opportunity to bring Gene Trowbridge back onto the show. I am sure you have heard terminology such as "Joint Venture", "JV" and "Syndication" being thrown around and discussed when you hear about different real estate deals.

In this first installment, we will begin by looking at the nature of digital assets from the perspective of a securities lawyer and explore why would securities law might apply to them. Before attempting to apply a system of regulation to a type of asset, it is important to understand the character of that type of asset and how it is similar to (or different from) other assets that are treated as “securities”. We will also briefly look at the history of securities law in the US in general to understand both its breadth of coverage and also its limitations.

Two cases this week.Maison v. NJ TransitAnswers the question of whether NJ Transit is a “common carrier.” Answer = yes. The court imposes common carrier liability duties on NJ Transit. The duty is more than getting people from point A to point B. The court also crafted a specific jury charge for the allocation of damages across the agency, the agency's employee and an unrelated tortfeasor. At stake a $1.8 million award to the plaintiff.Goldfarb v. SolimineEquitable remedies and statutory Securities Law collide when a financial analyst's promise of employment never materializes. The required written term sheet never materialized either. The court found the plaintiff's claims are limited to “reliance damages” not “benefit of the bargain”  damages. He can recover what he would have earned had he not relied upon the oral employment promise.Please Click here to give The BOLD SIDEBAR a nice 5-star Rating.Check out our sound engineer Nick Bates at: Bandcamp - https://nick-bates.bandcamp.com and Twitter - https://twitter.com/nickbatesmusic

What is “HOWEY test”. He further speaks on whom does Securities Law protects, 506 (b) vs 506 (c). He briefly discusses when and how securities laws came into effect? Who talks about accredited investors, sophisticated investors, and PPM? Why 506(c) was created? Gene further tells that majority of the money is raised by 506(b). I asked him about the pre-existing relationship. He explained in layman language about pre-existing and sophisticated investors. I asked him who are international investors and how they are determined? GENE strongly discourage not to accept cash. There are too many risks associated with accepting cash.
