"A Compliance book that answers both questions that are frequently asked in the Compliance world as well as the ones that you think don't have an answer. The only Compliance book I know of that is both informative and entertaining, I recommend it unreservedly." - Juno Mayer-Senft, Legal and Compliance Consultant. Former Senior Compliance Leadership roles at JP Morgan, Bank of America and Merrill Lynch & Co"Written from the perspective of an industry insider, David Silverman provides an insightful, highly readable and amusing summary of the complex regulatory landscape in the US. I enjoyed this book immensely, learned a few things and highly recommend it to both the general public as well as the regulatory community." - Mary Cvengros, Senior Fraud and Investigative Counsel United States Small Business Administration"David Silverman's book on complex topics of fiscal compliance and risk is not your typical business book. He approaches his topic with the knowledge of an industry insider but with wit and humor, making this a truly readable and enjoyable book. Silverman knows "finance, like plumbing, is boring. Sooo boring. Put your head down on your desk and roll your eyes at even having to think about banking. Go ahead. It's important. I'll wait." He unveils the hidden side of finance that we all pay for and tells us "$339,976,074,213...It's the amount of penalties paid by financial institutions between 2000 and July 2022." Standing between the behemoth banks and the customer is 'a thin line of Compliance and Legal people inside the system' who need a more knowledgeable public who is aware of the harm caused to them. This is a book that seeks to awaken that public." - Richard Greenwald, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Professor of History at Fairfield University
