He’s an M&A prof who brags in his Biden Foundation bio that he was “a leader of the transformation and consolidation of the printing industry.” https://archive.bidenfoundation.org/our-board/

      One of @JoeBiden’s bundlers is Joseph Falk of Akerman LLP, who does lobbying and “government affairs” for mortgage brokers. Biden might have promised “from day one” to reject lobbyist campaign contributions, but he’s apparently fine with lobbyists fundraising for him.
