[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 525462, member: 2426"] Does anyone in your office's job description say they sell Girl Scout cookies, talk to a bank about a mortgage, or negotiate pricing for home repairs? If their job description does not specifically state that does that mean that they should go to jail if they sell Girl Scout cookies at the job place? I said "mutually beneficial to all parties involved" because in the article I read about it it stated that the coach received $13k and deposited $9k of that in accounts of the players. He kept $4k. The article does not state that the agency acted in malfeasance toward the players. It does not state that the financial advisor did anything illegal or unethical with the players money. It doesn't even state that the players signed contracts with either after receiving the money. I would guess that they did sign since they received money. With the way that the federal prosecutors have been spinning this whole series of cases, I am almost certain that if the players had been subject to unethical actions by either the agent or the advisor that it would have been highlighted and that those persons would be prosecuted also. Since they haven't pressed that, I tend to believe that they have acted as normal agents and financial advisors. As I asked above, does it benefit any employer if their employees sell Girl Scout cookies at the office? Also, I didn't read anywhere that this coach neglected duties and discussed the referrals while "on the clock". He might have, but even if he did the Girl Scout cookie question applies. Also, he pleaded guilty to accepting a bribe, not fraud. What I have said many times is that these are really scummy people. The FBI and the prosecutors are making the distinction very muddy between being scummy and breaking the law. I keep trying to look through all of the scummy slime to see what laws were violated. All I see are vague descriptions of scummy behaviour, not actual violations of law. [/QUOTE]
