About this episode
When the Securities and Exchange Commission announced earlier this year that it had disciplined workers for golfing on the job, investigative reporter Jason Leopold shot off a FOIA request. Co-host Matt Topic, who is an accomplished golfer, and Jason, who isn’t, pore over records he received about the SEC’s internal investigation. They learn how a few words overheard on a golf course launched a Caddyshack -worthy investigation into allegations of government waste and abuse – or, in this instance, “known golf activity.” Subscribe to the FOIA Files newsletter at https://www.bloomberg.com/account/newsletters/foia-files .
