In this episode, Tom Fox cross posts an episode of Red Flag Rising, where co-hosts Mike Huneke and Brent Carlson visit with U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, David Metcalf.
David Metcalf, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, brings a practical, business-aware perspective to fraud enforcement and corporate compliance shaped by experience both inside government and as in-house counsel. He notes that white collar enforcement in his district is centered heavily on healthcare fraud, while also extending to cybercrime, narcotics trafficking, export controls, and other complex investigations. Metcalf strongly encourages companies to consider self-disclosure as a matter of self-interest, warning that DOJ will be especially aggressive toward those that do not come forward. At the same time, he stresses that the most effective approach is early engagement, because trust and candid discussion at the outset can create meaningful benefits, including even unpublicized declinations.
