2023/11/06

“It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness.” This second, lesser-known line from A Tale of Two Cities has never felt more applicable when you read about the two most notable cases currently going on in New York City. Sam Bankman-Fried and Donald Trump are the most recent individuals to go on trial for fraud and though the cases are vastly different, there are a few parallels we can draw to show how they both ended up in court. Both men grew up being idolized by their parents and

Have home owners been getting taken advantage of on commissions on sales of their home? The Missouri federal jury in Kansas City says “yes, you have” to sellers in the class a action case covering some 260,000 sales in the states of Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois and finding liability of nearly $2 billion which could be trebled to $6 billion. Even though sellers signed agreements for paying the commissions on those sales, they’ve been losing to their agents who have been fixing (and inflating)

There’s a new tax form on the market and it’s looking for a piece of your side hustle. The new 1099-K tax form targets independent contractors who are underreporting on small transactions. Sales resulting in $600+ on online marketplaces, digital wallets, crowdfunding platforms & more now means there is one more form to deal with when navigating an already complex tax code. Between the increasing focus on undercompliance and a lower minimum reporting threshold, it certainly feels like the government

Look around the world and everywhere you go, you will find pockets of innovation and wealth mixed in with areas of poverty and conflict. Though this is by far not a new phenomenon, our awareness of global tensions and the deluge of opinions can make it difficult for individuals to get a clear, non-political view of what is going on. Over at The Segmented World, David Nash leverages his decades of living in different countries and managing major corporations to help the rest of us make sense of the

The Valley Current®: Three Challenges China Now Faces...

2023/10/06

For decades China imposed a 1 child policy among their families to curb their rapidly growing population. Some 30 years later, China has painted itself into a corner and the ramifications of reducing the birth rate for an entire generation is starting to take its toll on the economy. Like so many other countries, China’s workforce is aging and there are few bodies to replace them. In 2015, China retracted the policy and began encouraging millennials to have more babies…. Only they aren’t. Female

Storytime is one of the most influential times for children. Childrens' books are loaded with quotes and themes designed to encourage children to become the best people they can be.

Many things are happening in the face of a recession. Angel investors and VCs are tightening their belts & seed-stage startups are trying to gain traction despite a meaningless valuation. As a result, these startups are running to their financial advisors trying to figure out what their options are now. No federal, appellate, or district court have talked about what should be done with failed SAFE agreements, so should entrepreneurs just be expected to eat this dropped agreement? Today host Jack

How old is too old to work? You’d assume most people circle the day they turn 65 as either full retirement or the beginning of their phase out period, but working well past that date is becoming more common. The ability to work and adapt in an ever-changing work environment is the most crucial factor most people do not think about when joining the workforce. Take Federal Circuit Judge Pauline Newman into consideration. Federally appointed judges are limited to terms and at age 96, Judge Newman is

When ChatGPT launched in 2022, it felt as if a new future had been revealed to us. Now that AI is freely available, user-friendly, and regularly assisting in the production of products and services, legal professionals are faced with a slew of new questions. Can a computer infringe on existing copyrights by pulling too much data from it? Can AI improve products by merging source codes? Does the extraction of millions of images infringe on an individual image creators’ rights? In part 2 of this

Copyrights have existed for centuries, and the idea of them dates back even further. United States copyright laws are nothing short of a mess, at least according to Professor Rafael Chodos. Not only is intellectual property not property, but copyrights tend to commercialize creativity instead of advancing science. Revisions for things like software and DCMA have been added since the first copyright laws were made, but at the rate technology is evolving, Congress would have to begin amending laws

For the average person, tax season officially runs from February 15th to April 15th, but for tax professionals the planning starts mid-November and doesn’t end until New Years Eve. The high-end taxpayer has need of a CPA who knows how to use the more sophisticated financial tools and is willing to take on the liability of a problematic return. Meanwhile, the average Joe does their taxes at home using software that files everything for you in a user-friendly manner. Whether you’re doing it yourself

Transferred mens rea, or transferred criminal intent, is the intent to harm a specific individual, but accidentally harming a different individual instead. When Mitchell Zimmerman took on a pro bono client in a death penalty case, he never intended to write a novel as a coping mechanism to help him deal with the stress. While Mississippi Reckoning is not directly based on Mitchell’s client, it does reflect upon the deep feelings that come with a high stakes case. Listen in as host Jack Russo learns

Any law professor will tell you the best way to win a case is to learn the law and apply them to the facts. It’s simple, but this straightforward approach has led Myron Moskovitz to years of success in the court room. Of course, no lawyer is bulletproof. Convoluted opinions and poor reasoning were the leading causes of courtroom losses and the main thing the cases shared was a shady client. Judges are required to rule in accordance with the law, but a shady party will most likely end up facing

To what degree will artificial intelligence accelerate the merging of legal and financial services? There is already a lot of overlap between the two given the nature of the industries and both being highly regulated by the government. Overseas there is already news of CPA firms hiring more lawyers and creating law firms under the CPA brand, but here in the US there are laws that keep the two separate. Could the incorporation of AI tools be the catalyst that forces these two industries to expand

Whether one loves or hates ChatGPT, this much is clear: it is by far the fastest, lowest-cost (non-advertising based) way to quicky obtain information and perhaps even some “knowledge” on a given topic. As much as it feels like someone is conveying more than just information to us, it is still software pulling text, numbers and other data from across the internet and presenting it in a user-friendly matter within seconds.

2023/07/26

Historically, venture capitals and angel investors have not been sensitive to climate change or eco-friendly startups. Unless the business itself is targeting renewable energy, it was hard for VC’s to imagine a profitable company when there are positions dedicated to making the company earth friendly. Is there any basis to their assumptions? It’s hard to imagine that money going to waste when Silicon Valley style areas are popping up around the US. To find out if ESG principles are more than just

Everyone is a storyteller, but not all of us write books. It’s been 70 years since the Korean War ended with an armistice, but there are still stories of it waiting to be told. When covid hit and we were sheltering in place, Nicole Kim Rogers passed the time by watching two war-based miniseries, A Band of Brothers & The Pacific. These series reminded her of her grandfather who spent 10 years writing down the stories he told her of growing up in Korea and fighting in the Korean War. Nicole then

The process of creative destruction has largely been accepted in the economic field. Weaker competitors are “cleaned out” in bear markets leaving the strongest to survive with the freedom to evolve in an environment concentrated with skilled workers. One thing that had never really changed until now was the standard face-to-face meeting before client and company agreed to do business together. Establishing trust on a personal level has felt less necessary for consumers as processes became more
