Three years ago, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul, made Hillary Rodham Clinton's success with cattle futures look like a child's lemonade stand. The credit card giant Visa was holding an initial public offering, among the most lucrative ever seen. The Pelosis were granted early access to the IPO as "special customers" who received their shares at the opening price, $44. The lucky investors turned in a 50 percent profit in just two days. Starting on March 18, the speaker and her husband made the first of three Visa stock buys, totaling between $1 million and $5 million. "Mere mortals would have to wait until March 19, when the stock would be publicly traded, to get their shares," writes Peter Schweizer of the Hoover Institution in his new book. On the surface, it app...

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Joe Epps and Tim Tribe, forensic accountants (www.eppscpa.com), are seeing signs that fraud cases are on the rise during our current economic recovery. In fact, according to a recent report published by the Better Business Bureau, the number of scams in the U.S. continues to rise everyday. Our natural tendency as consumers in a recovery is to increase spending. We begin looking to make purchases that we would have avoided during the uncertainty of a recession as we feel more confident in the stability of our employment and in the economy in general," notes Joe Epps, President of Epps CPA Consulting PLLC.

The credit card industry has been in an uproar for years complaining that they're losing billions of dollars because of the debtor's ability to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, thus avoiding making payments on unsecured debt. Unsecured debts are primarily credit cards and medical bills. Interesting to note that the top two reasons people file for bankruptcy protection is because of medical bills and credit card debt. Given the fact that lawmakers were unwilling to make sweeping changes to the bankruptcy law in prior years, many of the major creditors created relationships with the consumer credit counseling type of companies. In fact, to this day, many of the major creditors contribute up to 85 percent of the funding generated by consumer credit counseling type of companies. Consumer credit...
