It's a very difficult task to determine if a transaction is legal or not, sometimes impossible. Regulations differ not only on the country and state level, but sometimes the city level. For example, can you buy alcohol in Delaware? Wel

No matter who you are and how much "security" you have, you're not beyond the reach of hacks or inexcusable exploits. Microsoft, Google, Facebook all spend billions on security and have all been pwned to varying degrees. Micr

I'd also strongly recommend this book, which had multiple moments of utter disbelief. Keefe was able to obtain inside information from the Sackler family itself and from collaborators and Purdue employees. It's a great read.
