- mc32 3y agoAny celebrity or person whos is willing to endorse products and services for large money money should have a counsel whose business is to know how to do these things.
- wilg 3y agoI think they should not.
- mc32 3y agoWe disagree.

- s1artibartfast 3y agoYou are expecting celebrities and their agents to have more investigative power and discretion than the SEC and the DOJ. You have a public company, licensed to operate by a government regulator, and you want to hold paid actors accountable?
- richbell 3y ago> You are expecting celebrities and their agents to have more investigative power and discretion than the SEC and the DOJ. FTX did not have a CFO. It would not have taken much due diligence to figure out that something seemed fishy. The SEC and DOJ make prosecutorial decisions and therefore need to meet a high burden of evidence. All a celebrity (& their team) needs is a feeling that something doesn't seem right.
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoNot at all. They only have to investigate the specific statementss that are coming out of their own mouth. The SEC and DOJ are responsible for investigating statements coming out of all 330 million mouths in the US, in addition to other responsibilities.
- bogomipz 3y agoThat actor is not a celebrity though. In fact she is practically anonymous. She was not hired to raise the visibility of the product or lend it credibility via her celebrity. A large majority of people in the US would be quite familiar with Tom Brady, Giselle Bundchen, Shaquille O'Neal etc. Almost nobody could name who the actor is that plays the woman in the Progressive ads without Googling it.
