From Boardroom To Courtroom: Episode 3: Current State of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

In this special public service episode, Judge Elizabeth Gunn is joined by Rebecca A. Earl and Dana McWay to explore a growing and often overlooked corner of bankruptcy fraud: the exploitation of unclaimed funds. With over half a billion dollars currently held in unclaimed distributions, the system has become a target for fraudsters employing everything from falsified assignments to identity theft and wire fraud to steal from legitimate creditors.

The episode unpacks the legitimate process for recovering unclaimed funds and how bad actors have learned to exploit it. From fund locators—some legitimate, some not—to individuals impersonating creditors or creating companies with identical names to the true payees, the guests reveal just how elaborate these schemes have become. 

This cautionary tale doesn’t follow one fraudster—it shines a spotlight on a systemic vulnerability, offering insight into what courts and clerks are doing to protect the system. 

Tune in to hear how the courts are fighting back against this wave of bankruptcy fraud.

VC Law: Episode 37: The Legal Terms That Matter Most to Angel Investors with Christopher Mirabile

Ponzi schemes have persisted around the world even before the eponymous investment scheme of Charles Ponzi in the early 1920s. This case concerns a Ponzi scheme based on the purported sale of music that nobody really wanted, which was engineered by Ukrainian-American Volodimyr Pigida and his wife, Marinia Bondarenko. The scheme resulted in roughly $22 million in fraudulent proceeds. Pigida was ultimately convicted of 26 counts in a federal indictment, including conspiracy, wire fraud, mail fraud, and bankruptcy fraud, and was sentenced to 14 years in prison.  In this episode, Judge Gunn discusses the bankruptcy case filed by Trend Sound Promoter, the company the couple used to perpetrate their fraudulent scheme, with attorneys Mark Stern and Rory C. Livesey.  Issues discussed include how language barriers presented issues in the bankruptcy proceedings, how the trustee located assets to liquidate for the benefit of creditors (including victims of the scheme), and how the owners of Trend Sound Promoter were ultimately brought to justice.
