I don't understand this.
Do I automatically have a conflict of interest forever with everyone I have ever received payment from, for myself, for a charity, for my law firm, or otherwise? Is this just me, or my firm or company?
If so, how does the rule apply to CEOs of large companies, or lawyers at law firms, or college presidents, or non-profit board members?
I'm a big fan of disclosure (something the Berners never really got - we still don't have that joker's tax returns - something that keeps him from beating up on Trump on the issue). I'm not a big fan of treating every interaction with the world as a disqualifying event. We want people who do stuff, not who sit in the corner proud of their purity.
