Description
This course will help you identify the key players in Ponzi schemes and what their roles are. In turn, the course is specifically designed to assist you in reducing and minimizing liability and exposure as the result of fraudulent activity. Taught by experienced national experts on Ponzi schemes, Judge Steven Rhodes and Kathy Bazoian-Phelps, the course will also focus on critical issues such as: (1) what due diligence efforts should be undertaken to detect fraud? (2) Identifying key warning signs and red flags indicating suspicious activity, and the importance of the response to those red flags – which may differ depending on who you are. (3) The potential for civil liability for involvement with a Ponzi Perpetrator, which often has to do with what did you know and when did you know it? (4) What defenses can be asserted to claims subsequently asserted against defendants in an effort to avoid liability?
