Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. In this episode Matt and Tom go into the weeds to look at the recent FCPA enforcement action involving the Brazilian megalith, J&F Investments. Some of the issues we consider are:

• It was one of the most bold, audacious bribery schemes ever.
• Follow on from Brazil’s largest anti-corruption enforcement action, JBS.
• What happens when an acquirer of a US listed company is the corrupt entity?
• Is a target required to perform due diligence on the source of the money used in a M&A deal?
• Did Pilgrim’s Pride have any responsibility?
• Are there any US individuals involved?
• Is Pilgrim’s Pride a victim, entitled to compensation?
