This article questions the legality of issues that fall into the gray-area of the law in regards to misrepresentation as exemplified by the distortion of results from a lack of publishers and researchers willing to publish negative results, ineffectual disclaimers in social media content, the fine line between what is legally permissible and legally questionable advertising, and more. This article will be focusing on the many ways that misrepresentation exists in a myriad of fields and the...

This article will be focusing on the many ways that misrepresentation exists in a myriad of fields and the methods by which they are currently being addressed, or not addressed. The article will also discuss the historical background, current situation, and future implications of these methods.

The separation of church and state was passed under the First Amendment in 1791. However, Since its inception the United States has not followed through with this philosophy. Since colonial times, churches have been privileged with tax exemptions. Nine out of the thirteen colonies had some form of tax relief to aid their churches. This right was granted to all religious organizations with the expectation that they would contribute to their communities by providing aid to the poor. Through...
Show moreThe separation of church and state was passed under the First Amendment in 1791. However, Since its inception the United States has not followed through with this philosophy. Since colonial times, churches have been privileged with tax exemptions. Nine out of the thirteen colonies had some form of tax relief to aid their churches. This right was granted to all religious organizations with the expectation that they would contribute to their communities by providing aid to the poor. Through their constant reformation, tax laws have achieved a more rigorous stance on religious tax exemptions, yet lack the integrity needed to prevent religious organizations from taking advantage of the current tax laws. The objective of this project is to analyze how the church went from being humble, to a corporation that exploits the current tax exemptions law, and how we need reconstruct the current tax exemptions on religious organization.

- Legal and Ethical Aspects of Death Spiral Financing.
- Creator
- Marian, Alina, Arflin, Cheryl, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
- Abstract/Description
-
“Death Spiral Financing” refers to a certain type of Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE), generally used by companies in financial trouble. I will show how these “toxic” PIPEs usually lead to the devaluation and even destruction of companies. While not illegal, these transactions take advantage of loopholes within the SEC regulations regarding disclosure of securities purchases. I will present how the SEC has raised claims (mainly unsuccessfully) against such practices in at least one...
Show more“Death Spiral Financing” refers to a certain type of Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE), generally used by companies in financial trouble. I will show how these “toxic” PIPEs usually lead to the devaluation and even destruction of companies. While not illegal, these transactions take advantage of loopholes within the SEC regulations regarding disclosure of securities purchases. I will present how the SEC has raised claims (mainly unsuccessfully) against such practices in at least one of two categories: sale of an unregistered security, or insider trading. I will conclude by arguing that such transactions need to be more carefully scrutinized in order to protect and better inform the “unsuspecting public”.

On November 4th, 2013, global health care giant Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries reached a settlement amount of $2.2 billion dollars. Johnson & Johnson settled to pay this amount to resolve the civil and criminal allegations of promotions not approved as safe and effective, kickbacks to physicians, and violations based on the False claim act. This type of offense has been common with pharmaceutical companies for the past ten years, but the federal government still gives pharmaceutical...

Johnson & Johnson settled to pay this amount to resolve the civil and criminal allegations of promotions not approved as safe and effective, kickbacks to physicians, and violations based on the False claim act. This type of offense has been common with pharmaceutical companies for the past ten years, but the federal government still gives pharmaceutical companies tax breaks which represent billions of dollars in lost revenue for the federal government. With this type of exemption, pharmaceutical companies are given an incentive to commit fraud for corporate greed while neglecting to put funds towards research and development.
