Acerca de esta escucha

Journalist and bestselling author Michael Lewis explores the figures in American life who rely on the public's trust, whether in sports, in business, in the courtroom, or on TV. What happens when that trust erodes and we can no longer agree on what's fair and what's not?

In the latest season of his podcast, Michael takes on America’s newest form of legalized gambling, sports betting, and how it’s changing what it means to be a player…a teenager…and most of all, a fan.

On the Umpire series you discuss Finestien
I am sure he has done very well in many disputes for the most fair settlement. This is an exception.

I am a resident on the Gulf Coast but filed no claim since I was away over that period
Watched the compensation proceedings with interest since many friends were involved
1. BP in all it's horror did a fairer job of compensating victims before the government took over
2. Outside of the 5K payout the victims left waited, refiled, were told lies of how much and when they were paid. Some when bankrupt.
3. For a short time prior to the 2012 mid terms the compansation settlements were moving
After those elections they stopped again
4. Some people never got settled or they were denied after years of waiting.
Fienstein may have done very well elsewhere but we firmly believe politics and a greedy government was involved

Lesson. Get your own lawyer and if you win compensate him well.
The Podcast's overall premise of we need impartial umpires is extreemly true.

Fienstiem on the Coast is not universally loved
