(Dec. 16, 2013) --If there is a familiar refrain when federal compliance issues are being discussed, it usually goes something like this, "We’re too small for the regulators to pay any attention to us.” Sometimes business owners will also say, like a very well-known Ohio retailer said in a private meeting, “I’m doing the right thing and I have all the local judges in my pocket, so I don’t have to worry about all this compliance stuff."
