Suggest You - Lessons for Life: Corporate Crime; What Happened to those Boy Scouts?
A freight broker works with the manufacturers of goods, wholesalers and distributors to see to the safe and effective and timely transportation of huge loads of goods to be ultimately sold on the market. These professionals also work on the modalities of sending the material from one location to another, and the amount earned as a part of the profit is termed as freight brokerage. The business of freight brokers has been in the trucking business as early as the early 20th century.A freight broker is a transportation intermediary, neither the shipper nor an asset owner, who plays a vital role in moving goods. These professionals leverage their knowledge, investment and resources to help the shipping and the carrier companies.Licensed freight brokers can b
Bearing false witness to the public is a crime that our government is exempt from. That is a law we need to fix. Public officials should be held accountable for what they say.
I think that Martha should have been fined $1000.00 and required to spend two weeks in public service sweeping the streets of Manhattan and passing out cookies to vagrants in front of the New York Stock Exchange.
Her silly lies were just a miner crime in my opinion.
News Flash: Corporate Crimes are People Crimes
Corporate crimes are performed by people, the employees of the corporation. Often they are not intentional.
Joe Blow opens Valve Number 609 and closes Valve 906 instead of the opposite.
Ten zillion tons of gung then flows into Little Bear Creek killing the fish, the frogs, and twelve butterflies.
The Corporation is fined and the corporation must clean up the mes
Customer Service is important in all businesses especially service businesses, because that is what you are selling services. If you come to a person's house or business to do a remodel or retrofit or merely some easy tenant improvements then you must give good customer service.That includes from the time you take the appointment until you are completed, paid and ask for a referral. And if you do not give good service your chances of getting there are little to nil. One of the biggest complaints of customers for electrical companies is that they do not show up on time when they were scheduled or when they are called in a semi emergency they don't show up the same day.This is similar to the movie called The Cable Man; which was a spoof comedy on the cable
From my experience, those who succeed temporally in life started from a spiritual base. They were raised in good homes and benefited from neighborhood, church, and school leaders. Many were Little Leaguers and good Boy Scouts. Now they are in trouble and their families are humiliated.
What went wrong?
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
I extracted and shortened the following from http://www.criminaldefenseassociates.com/crimes/whitecollar
In the wake of the Enron/Arthur Anderson scandal, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, mandated the separation of auditing and consulting businesses in an attempt to restore public confidence in the investment market.
“The Act created a number of new Federal crimes (i.e., document destruction and tampering, securities fraud, certification of false financial statements, and attempt and conspiracy), many of which apply to both public and private companies, their directors, officers, and employees.
“The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also significantly enhances penalties applicable to a host of existing white collar crimes.
“A number of Federal agencies including the FBI, the Internal Revenue Service, the Secret Service, U.S. Customs, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, participate in the enforcement of Federal white collar crime legislation.
“In addition, most states employ their own agencies to enforce white collar crime laws at the State level.”
All Corporate Crimes are Not Prosecuted
At http://www.corporatecrimereporter.com/deferredreport.htm is posted the report: Crime Without Conviction: The Rise of Deferred and Non Prosecution Agreements and I quote:
“This report finds that prosecutors have entered into twice as many non-prosecution and deferred prosecution agreements with major American corporations in the last four years (23 agreements between 2002 to 2005) than they have in the previous ten years (11 agreements between 1992 to 2001)…And it raises the question – are these companies too big to indict, to big to convict?”

Top Corporate Criminals
At http://www.corporatecrimereporter.com/top100.html are listed the top 100 corporate criminals of the 1990s. I quote:
“The 100 corporate criminals fell into 14 categories of crime: Environmental (38), antitrust (20), fraud (13), campaign finance (7), food and drug (6), financial crimes (4), false statements (3), illegal exports (3), illegal boycott (1), worker death (1), bribery (1), obstruction of justice (1) public corruption (1), and tax evasion (1).”
Without going into details, the above report states that corporate crime damages far exceed that of street crimes both in cost to the public and in deaths.
The list comes in two versions. The Brief List simply states the corporation and the crime. The Annotated List gives more details. You will find some of our finest corporations on these lists.
Dumping: The Corporate Crime of the Century
We read this at http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/1979/11/dowie.html
“News: It's called dumping:
“When the U.S. government forces a dangerous drug, pesticide or other product off the domestic market, the manufacturer then sells that same product–frequently with the direct support of the State Department–throughout the rest of the world.”
In an associated article at http://www.motherjones.com/news/update/1979/11/where.html Where Are They Now? we read:
"News: What ever happened to those dumped products–and their dumpers? Eighteen years later, the MoJo Wire investigates."
The bottom line is that the restrictions placed by our government to protect our people do not apply to other peoples of the world.
It’s okay if a person dies from faulty drugs or medical machinery in Podunktoo.

An insurance broker is a “go-between”—they go between the business or customer and the insurance company. An insurance agent works for only one insurance company while an insurance broker represents and works for many insurance companies. An insurance broker specializes in finding the best possible insurance for the best price with the insurance company that will best suit your needs. Often a broker will come back to you with several policy options for you to choose from, as well as their expert opinion on which policy and insurance company is your best bet.Insurance brokers usually have access to dozens, even hundreds, of insurance companies. Brokers do not charge their customers for their service; instead the insurance companies pay them a commission on the p

If one were to ask the average manufacturer to list some of the major difficulties faced in the industry today, his or her list would most likely include the effort to comply with customer requirements. And in today’s world, these requirements usually include a large number of rules designed to protect the environment and adhere to increasingly strict regulations set by both foreign and domestic governments.In recent years, powerhouse companies like Wal-Mart have begun to demand their suppliers adopt very rigorous environmental codes. Since mammoth companies like Wal-Mart have enough power to virtually make or break one’s business, it is essential that suppliers learn to comply, or face the possibility of extinction. As a result, businesses involved in any aspe

The one thing that everyone has in common is that we are all consumers; we all buy. Every day, from daily small purchases, like your morning coffee and newspaper, to big monthly or yearly purchases, like a television or a car. But what influences your decision on what and where to buy. Surely, you have tastes and preferences but with all the competition for your purchasing power it is often small differences in the product that ultimately influence your decision.Let's say you walk into a grocery store to buy a soda. Although there may be dozens of sodas to choose from you'll most likely reach for a familiar brand such as Coca-Cola or Pepsi. The reason? You are familiar with these brands and trust them. You recognize the company name and logo and you choose thes

Recognizing that the time had come to replace our hot water heater, my wife called our plumber to schedule an appointment. She placed the call at about 11 a.m. When the agent asked, “Would you be available between one and three?” Lori asked, “Which day?” The agent replied “Today of course.”Hearing a strange noise coming from our furnace, another call was placed. Again, the appointment was made and the problem was solved the same day. (Are you surprised that the furnace and the plumbing company have the same ownership?)Earlier this week my wife had a problem with her knee and after seeing our family doctor she was referred to a knee specialist - a specialist considered one of the best in Indianapolis. When she called for an appointment, I feared the w

Other crimes, especially those involving money, are intentional. Corporate Fat Cats full of greed want to pad their retirement funds.
These same Fat Cats were once good citizens who grew up in good homes, went to good Universities (where some say they learned how to cheat), and were Pillars of the Community. Now they are jailbirds or disgraced.

There is a rule once used by some in our country. It is Honesty is the Best Policy.
Have that framed and put on your wall.
Another one is Integrity is Doing the Right Thing when No One is Looking.
Frame that too.
