2010: Ushering in an Era of Personal Responsibility?

by Gary M. Brown, Dec 31, 2009

I predict that we are perhaps entering an era of greater personal responsibility. Look at Judge Rakoff’s comments in the B of A/Merrill case; the recent ACL Regulation FD enforcement case or how Goldman Sachs “blinked” on bonuses. Whether you agree with it or not, President Obama’s excoriation of the Wall Street “fat cats” will resonate – not only with the public at large but with companies and their boards attempting to present a particular public persona.
