Sales Suppression As A Service (Ssaas) & The Apple Store Solution, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Sales Suppression As A Service (Ssaas) & The Apple Store Solution, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Faculty Scholarship
The problem of sales suppression fraud is estimated to cost state and local governments $20 billion annually ($2 billion in New York restaurants alone). Modern sales suppression (skimming) is carried out with technology (Zappers and Phantom-ware). Nine undercover sting operations in and around Manhattan and the Bronx by investigators working for New York’s Department of Taxation and Finance (NY-DT&F) have identified the SSaaS variant of modern skimming.
A striking example of SSaaS may be unfolding in the $1 million sales suppression case against Congressman Michael Grimm (R-NY). It is alleged that Grimm skimmed sales from his Healthalicious restaurant in Manhattan, …

The Case For Public Pension Reform: Early Evidence From Kentucky, Maria O'Brien
Faculty Scholarship

An Empirical Method For Materiality: Would Conflict Of Interest Disclosures Change Patient Decisions?, Christopher Robertson
Faculty Scholarship
The law has long been concerned with the agency problems that arise when advisors, such as attorneys or physicians, put themselves in financial relationships that create conflicts of interest. If the financial relationship is “material” to the transactions proposed by the advisor, then non-disclosure of that information may be pertinent to claims of malpractice, informed consent, and even fraud, as well as to professional discipline. In these sorts of cases, materiality is closely related to the question of causation, roughly turning on whether the withheld information might have changed the decision of a reasonable advisee (i.e., patient). The injured plaintiff …
