The Invisible Shield: Why You Can’t Sue the CEO

Imagine you’re owed millions of dollars. You sue the man who lied to your face, only for a judge to tell you: 'Sorry, he wasn't a person when he did that—he was a corporation.'Most people think if you commit fraud, you’re on the hook. But in the recent case of Savoie v. Pritchard, the court just proved that the 'Fiduciary Shield' is back from the dead, and it's more powerful than ever. Today, we’re breaking down the case that just changed the rules for suing your boss.Thanks for joining me for this episode!
