complianceChickA must-have for compliance professionalsNo one has their finger on the pulse of the compliance world like the host of this podcast, Alexandra Wrage. If you're looking for the inside scoop on the biggest option scandals, this is it!
-
bastew2Blockbuster guestsI have listened to this podcast for a little while now and am really impressed by the guests (from Bill Browder to Peter Humphrey) that Ms. Wrage books and the quality of the interviews that she conducts. Not only are her guests big names in the compliance field, but they often open my eyes to new issues that I dig deeper on after I listen to the episode (e.g. the human trafficking and outlaw ocean episodes). Thank you for making this podcast.
-
JJRainyThe best of its kind!Each story is unique, intriguing and thought-provoking. The world of financial crime unveils as the stories are told and interpreted in different perspectives. It’s really difficult to name a favorite episode since I enjoyed every single one! (If I have to choose one, I’ll go with the “Fat Leonard” story-I was hooked after listening to this one!)
-

-
TRSummerGreat Podcast!Wow! I learned SOOO much from this podcast. The Fifa scandal still boggles my mind.
-
BEAS2017Enlightening!This series is so eye-opening--knowing that scandals like this still occur all over the world--is shocking. Thanks to the details and insight of this podcast, it helps to spread the word and hold more people accountable for their actions.
-
MScompliance57VolkswagenThis Podcast was really informative - not only the VW scandal and its continuing development - but with excellent lessons learned (or should I say lessons that should have been learned when it comes to VW) for industry leaders facing similar situations. Great to hear that the European community is coming to view this scandal for what it was - NOT a US anti-competitive move!
-
whoneeds O2Bribe Swindle Steal Volkswagon Emissions ScandalThis was a highly informative discussion about the Volkswagon emissions fraud. As a case study, there were numerouse compliance issues that came into play with disasterous consequences for the company. I look forward to the next update on this case.

-
Zion Zion 85Excellent contentThe FIFA Swamp along with the Unaoil story are my favorite episodes thus far. I just learned that listeners can suggest topics for future discussions.

-
LeDocsterBest place to learn the compliance businessAnyone hoping to make a career in the control of bribery, money laundering, corruption and all forms of financial crime should listen to these podcasts. Alexandra Wrage is at the top of this profession and she has used her knowledge and reputation to assemble an amazing set of sources and experts, then gotten them to talk candidly. These podcasts are a graduate level course on compliance practice.
-
Hapster!Valuable contentBribe, Swindle or Steal is a captivating series of conversations. There is a variety of hot topics covered in these podcasts, but my favorite so far have been episodes about individuals who found themselves in difficult situations while dealing with the governments of different countries. It is a great way to learn about a particular country and the way its government operates from the speaker's first hand experience that you would simply not find anywhere else. I highly recommend Bribe, Swindle or Steal to everyone, even if you are not involved in the compliance industry. There is something for everyone, and the quality of the recordings is undeniable.
-
jbashir2Fascinating and informative.The time and effort that went in both on Alexandra Wrage's part and that of her guests shows in the impressive lineup of guests and the quality content of interviews. Great, significant work.
-
T. LittlemanOutstanding!The conversation with Peter Elkind tells a great story about ENRON. This is the way podcasts should work: lots of information, an interesting person and a fine plot line. This is where to learn how corruption really works.
-
Swim-chick:)!!!!!!!Amazing seriesThis type of content can't be found elsewhere. These are all excellent discussions.
