Abuse Discovery Practices by the Government

In this episode of his "Clearly Conspicuous" podcast series, "Abuse Discovery Practices by the Government," consumer protection attorney Anthony DiResta reviews a district court's decision to sanction the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for its behavior during a case involving a fraudulent debt collection scheme. The CFPB brought actions against 18 defendants, and the court dismissed claims against five of those defendants based on the agency's tactics during deposition. Mr. DiResta explains why the case serves as a reminder to counsel to challenge misconduct.
