Jeff Bezos, Amazon's CEO and the world's richest man, received a total compensation of about $1.68 million last year -- or 59 times the median Amazon employee compensation.

College admissions scandal: How will their kids be affected? They're facing questions about the fates of students involved and whether they knew about their parents' alleged acts.
And, at a time of year when colleges are whittling down the mountain of applications and sending out acceptance letters, they're having to look for prospective students who might be connected to the scandal. William Rick Singer, the plot's accused mastermind, allegedly told prospective clients that he created a "side door" for wealthy families to get their children into top US colleges. Singer was paid roughly $25 million by parents to help their children get into the schools, the US attorney said.

When Money Gets in the Way of Corporate Ethics. The two-year Wells Fargo horror story just won't end. Wells Fargo can't wake up from the nightmare that began exactly two years ago.
What sounded at first like a run-of-the-mill bank settlement — a $185 million payment to atone for "sales practices" — has morphed into a cascade of scandals that has rocked one of America's most storied banks to its core. It started in September 2016, when Wells Fargo shocked the nation and announced it had fired 5,300 workers over several years for creating millions of fake accounts. Wells Fargo (WFC) has since replaced longtime CEO John Stumpf, discarded the wildly unrealistic sales goals that led to the bad behavior and apologized for mistreating workers. The bank hired the respected Elizabeth Duke to lead its board, installed fresh directors and pledged in a splashy marketing campaign to clean up its act. New CEO Tim Sloan vowed to uncover mistakes of the past. Yet America's third-largest bank remains in turmoil from the fake-account controversy — and other scandals keep emerging.

Each individual's set of ethics provides the fundamental principles or beliefs by which that person distinguishes, consciously after some thought or unconsciously and seemingly by instinct, between morally acceptable and morally unacceptable behavior in that person's eyes.
If every person's ethics sprang from the same principles or rested on the same source documents—perhaps the Bible or the Koran for ethical principles governing their personal lives, and the Uniform Commercial Code or a global code of business ethics promulgated by the United Nations—then there would be much wider consensus on what is ethically good and ethically bad conduct in any given specific situation. This commentary surveys—unfortunately but necessarily very briefly—each of these types of sources of ethics. Our survey of the ethical landscape is quite general—hopefully relevant to all, not specifically targeted to the many ethical challenges that often confront insurance or risk management practitioners.
