In God We Trust

It's always after the fact. Can you imagine spending 25 years working for, and enabling, the person who committed the largest financial fraud ever perpetrated (for now), and not even being aware of it?

Premiering at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival on April 17-28, In God We Trust follows Bernard Madoff's personal secretary, Eleanor Squillari, in the days after the world discovered his dark secret.

Reframing the conversation around Madoff’s case through the story of one woman’s insatiable search for the truth, directors Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek present Squillari’s findings, and Squillari herself, in this highly personal take on the financial crisis. Here's the trailer -

Go Along To Get Along

Have you seen unethical behavior or corrupt business practices where you work but looked the other way because you were afraid of losing your job, or worse?

Have you ever had a supervisor tell you "That's the way we do it here. If you want to get along in this job, you'd better shut up and go along." I think some of us have probably experienced this bullying behavior at some point in our careers.

But, it's just that "go along to get along" attitude that's prolonging this recession and causing all of us to lose faith in our system of government.

When no one is held accountable for their crimes, and allowed to (or even encouraged to) continue their crimes without any concerns about being criminally prosecuted for their actions, where's the incentive for everyone else to do the right thing? It's a slippery-slope my friends.

And that's why the world needs is more heroes like Harry Markopolos.
