Hearing on the small operators in direct mail and sweepstakes that use highly deceptive and shady business practices, including in some cases possible fraud. Many of these smaller companies tend to be fly-by-night operations that use multiple trade names to hide their identities to confuse consumers. These companies profit not only from their extremely deceptive mailings, but also by reselling the names of customers to other operators who then inundate the unlucky consumer with new mailings all over again. This business has been shown to be quite lucrative. These small operators work in the shadows and underneath the radar of State and Fed. regulators.

At a time when Congressional investigations have taken on added importance and urgency in American politics, this book offers readers a rare, insider’s portrait of the world of US Congressional oversight. It examines specific oversight investigations into multiple financial and offshore tax scandals over fifteen years, from 1999 to 2014, when Senator Levin served in a leadership role on the US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), the Senate’s premier investigative body. Despite mounting levels of partisanship, dysfunction, and cynicism swirling through Congress during those years, this book describes how Congressional oversight investigations can be a powerful tool for uncovering facts, building bipartisan consensus, and fostering change, offering detailed case histories as proof. Grounded in fact, and written as only an insider could tell it, this book will be of interest to financial and tax practitioners, policymakers, academics, students, and the general public.
