Book excerpt: Recent cases of corp. fraud and mis-management heighten the Dept. of Justice's (DoJ) need to appropriately punish and deter corp. crime. Recently, DoJ has made more use of deferred prosecution and non-prosecution agreements (DPAs and NPAs), in which prosecutors may require co. reform, among other things, in exchange for deferring prosecution, and may also require co. to hire an independent monitor to oversee compliance. This testimony provides observations on: (1) factors DoJ considers when deciding whether to enter into a DPA or NPA and setting the terms of the agreements; (2) methods DoJ uses to oversee co. compliance; (3) processes by which monitors are selected; and (4) co. perspectives re: the costs and role of the monitor.

Book excerpt: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has added another weapon to its enforcement arsenal in its ongoing battle against corporate corruption, generally referred to as the pretrial diversion process. With increased frequency, especially in the health care arena with respect to both domestic and international fraud allegations, DOJ agrees to defer or not pursue a criminal prosecution, in exchange for the subject company paying significant fines, entering into a deferred or non-prosecution agreement, expanding its ethical and legal compliance programming, and, in some cases, agreeing to the appointment of a corporate monitor. Considered a less onerous alternative to a federal criminal indictment, this enforcement approach has been adopted with the aim of punishing and eliminating corporate corruption and reforming corporate ethos. While having the immediate benefit of avoiding a potentially fatal corporate criminal indictment and trial with the attendant exclusion from Federal Health Care Programs, this approach is not without considerable financial and operational consequences for the subject companies. Further, the effectiveness of this enforcement approach in achieving the DOJ's ultimate goal of eliminating corporate corruption, whether within a company or an entire industry, is wholly unknown. More to the point, there are no established metrics by which to measure the respective costs and benefits of this enforcement approach. Of additional concern to the reform effort is the lack of transparency in an area with vague statutory requirements and little case law. This article examines the DOJ's enforcement approach to corporate corruption and whether it's working and suggests that, given the tremendous costs involved, a measured analysis of respective costs and benefits is warranted. It also concludes that reform efforts are likely to be enhanced by greater transparency at all stages of the enforcement process, beginning with pre-settlement and continuing through an actual monitorship.
Download or read book Too Big to Jail written by Brandon L. Garrett and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American courts routinely hand down harsh sentences to individual convicts, but a very different standard of justice applies to corporations. Too Big to Jail takes readers into a complex, compromised world of backroom deals, for an unprecedented look at what happens when criminal charges are brought against a major company in the United States. Federal prosecutors benefit from expansive statutes that allow an entire firm to be held liable for a crime by a single employee. But when prosecutors target the Goliaths of the corporate world, they find themselves at a huge disadvantage. The government that bailed out corporations considered too economically important to fail also negotiates settlements permitting giant firms to avoid the consequences of criminal convictions. Presenting detailed data from more than a decade of federal cases, Brandon Garrett reveals a pattern of negotiation and settlement in which prosecutors demand admissions of wrongdoing, impose penalties, and require structural reforms. However, those reforms are usually vaguely defined. Many companies pay no criminal fine, and even the biggest blockbuster payments are often greatly reduced. While companies must cooperate in the investigations, high-level employees tend to get off scot-free. The practical reality is that when prosecutors face Hydra-headed corporate defendants prepared to spend hundreds of millions on lawyers, such agreements may be the only way to get any result at all. Too Big to Jail describes concrete ways to improve corporate law enforcement by insisting on more stringent prosecution agreements, ongoing judicial review, and greater transparency.

Corporate Criminal Investigations and Prosecutions provides readers a comprehensive understanding of the process behind the investigation, prosecution, and resolution of criminal charges against organizations. Over the past two decades, corporate criminal liability has developed into one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic areas of legal practice. The growth of corporate criminal enforcement has correlated with a broad shift in how the government investigates and resolves corporate criminal violations. As a result of these developments, the practice of investigating, prosecuting, and resolving corporate criminal cases has many significant differences from other areas of criminal or civil law. Notably, one of the most significant aspects that distinguishes corporate criminal practice is that much of it occurs outside of the formal judicial system; nearly all DOJ corporate criminal matters are resolved through negotiated settlements, and very few cases involve court proceedings or go to trial. As a result, many parts of this practice remain relatively unknown to students and practitioners. Until now. With the publication of this book, authors Leo Tsao, Daniel Kahn, and Eugene Soltes, whose resumes collectively reflect the highest levels of practice and expertise in this field, open a window into all aspects of corporate criminal investigations and prosecutions. Professors and students will benefit from: The authors bring a unique perspective and unparalleled qualifications to the subject of corporate criminal liability. Daniel Kahn is the former acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division and former Chief of the Fraud Section and FCPA Unit. Leo Tsao is the former Principal Deputy Chief of the Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section and has held supervisory positions in the Bank Integrity Unit and FCPA Unit within the DOJ’s Criminal Division. Eugene Soltes is a professor at Harvard Business School, and regularly teaches and advises companies on corporate integrity, organizational cultures, and compliance systems. Comprehensive coverage: Part One addresses topics that are generally applicable to all corporate criminal cases, such as the legal principles underlying corporate criminal liability; the individual liability of corporate officers for corporate crimes; and the constitutional rights of criminal corporate defendants—to name a few. Part Two addresses specific categories of federal crimes commonly used to charge corporate defendants, such as conspiracy, the FCPA, the Bank Secrecy Act, antitrust laws, and RICO. Part Two also provides insights into criminal activity and law enforcement within the technology sector as it pertains to virtual currency (e.g., Bitcoin). Extensive online resources include discussion questions, and relevant case material for key chapters
