Compliance into the Weeds: Mixed Messages: The DOJ’s Inconsistent Stance on White Collar Crime and FCPA Enforcement

The award winning, 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. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly look at the mixed and muddled messages coming out of the DOJ on FCPA and white collar enforcement.

We discuss recent signals from the DOJ suggesting a reinvigorated stance on corporate malfeasance, juxtaposed with actions like the pardoning of convicted offenders which muddle the overall message. The conversation covers Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s inflammatory speech on the seriousness of FCPA actions, the controversial pardons by President Trump, and the apparent selective enforcement against foreign versus U.S. companies. The episode examines the ramifications of these mixed signals for compliance professionals, companies, and whistleblowers, emphasizing the need for clearer guidance and consistency from the DOJ.

Key Highlights

  • Mixed Messages from the Justice Department on FCPA and White Collar Enforcement
  • Deputy Attorney General’s Angry Speech
  • Controversial Pardons and Their Implications
  • ZTE and FCPA Charges
  • Inconsistencies and Compliance Challenges
  • The Impact of Presidential Pardons on Compliance
