On this month's episode of Emphasis Added, I spoke with University of Houston Law Center Professor Douglas Moll about fraud and closely held corporations in the context of Theranos, a biotech company that was once valued at $10 billion, and is now worth nothing. Professor Moll teaches multiple business law courses at the University of Houston Law Center and has written multiple articles and books on civil fraud and closely held corporations. We discussed Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes's conduct as portrayed by the ABC News podcast and Hulu Series, "The Dropout," and analyzed different instances of Theranos's fraud exploring questions like when Silicon Valley's culture of "fake it till you make it" really becomes fraudulent and how investors in a private closely held corporation are disadvantaged when things go wrong.

In the second episode of Season 6, we sit down with University of Houston Law Center Professor Maikieta Brantley. Emphasis Added hosts, Graysen Mechler and Geoffrey Okolo, begin the episode by exploring Professor Brantley’s journey to becoming a lawyer and eventually transitioning into academia.

A significant portion of the conversation focuses on Professor Brantley’s large social media following and her dual role as a law professor and an influence. She discusses how she became involved in social media, its impact on modern law, and the balance between her online presence and academic responsibilities. The episode also delves into Professor Brantley’s research revolving around the intersection of the law and social media. She then offers insight into how brands and platforms handle FTC disclosure requirements, and whether guidelines are enforceable.
