"After every scandal we learn that there were employees who tried to alert the public but were silenced and retaliated against. Whistleblowers are the key to holding their governments and corporations accountable. Empower yourself! Tune in to Honesty Without Fear on Tuesdays at 1:00pm."
We invited candidates from one of the most hotly-contested House races, incumbent Michael Grimm and Mark Murphy, to come on the show to discuss the Grimm Act (H.R. 2483) with host Steve Kohn. The Grimm Act would reverse the corporate whistleblower protections passed in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act. Congressman Grimm did not respond to the interview request, but candidate Murphy discusses his position on the Grimm Act and whistleblower protections.
Additionally, whistleblower Eugene Ross and attorney Jordan Thomas will join Steve to weigh in on how the Grimm Act will impact corporate culture. Eugene Ross blew the whistle on corporate fraud at Bear Stearns, and Jordan Thomas is partner at Labaton Sucharow and former SEC official who worked on drafting the SEC rules for Dodd-Frank.
