                                3. Sarah Hadden takes things a different direction by reading the eBook Trump and Compliance which was published in late 2016 and was based on the Everything Compliance gang’s predictions of how compliance would fare under the Trump Administration. Hadden shouts out to a new section of CCI which will focus on those persons early in their compliance careers. It is certainly a welcome addition to the compliance discussion.
                                4.  Matt Kelly provides breaking news by discussing the SEC proposed changes to its Whistleblower Program. Kelly shouts out to Boston Celtic Enes Kantor for calling out the NBA on its hypocrisy on China.
