I cannot help but wonder what is going to happen as a result of the transactions afoot,

below. There are no specific details (that I have found) to review on this yet. How will the

ethically upright organization leverage these new opportunities versus the unethical, “built-to-

crash” organizations?

Background: “Company officers, managers, and professionals working within and/or

across industries may contribute to, and be influenced and affected by, specific business

practices in an industry. A recent example of unethical and illegal industry-wide business

practices is the 2007–2009 subprime mortgage lending crisis, in which some of the largest banks

in the United States and other countries bundled asset-backed securities with real estate,

including individuals' home mortgages, as collateral and then sold these to Wall Street investors.

Such financial products were highly popular and promised huge returns, but they were bogus,

and the result was a near global financial meltdown” [CITATION Wei14 \p 2.4 \l 1033 ].

“Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that would repeal parts

of the Dodd-Frank Act originally passed by Congress in 2010 in reaction to the financial crisis.

The Choice Act would allow businesses that meet certain capital requirements to undertake more

risk, institute a new bankruptcy code, allow the President to fire the Consumer Financial

Protection Bureau agency head at will and would remove the Department of Labor's fiduciary

rule. The bill was passed with a party line vote and now heads to the Senate where its fate will be

determined”[ CITATION 17Ju \l 1033 ].

Is this the same thing all over again?
