Putting somebody in charge of a job, when they have a
conflict of interest. Often used to refer to industry "self-regulation" or to putting an industry insider
on the board that regulates that industry, e.g., appointing an executive of Comcast as chairman of the FCC.
Can also refer to a similar problem in private industry, e.g., putting the manager of a failed project in charge of the
investigation into why the project failed.
