What Percentage of DOJ FCPA Losses is Acceptable? — The Criminal Law Reporter

By Securities Docket on March 23, 2012, 2:14 pm

While it is unrealistic (and probably not desirable from a policy perspective) to expect the Justice Department to win 100 percent of its Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prosecutions against individuals when put to its burden of proof, given the above referenced dynamics, it is realistic (and desirable from a policy perspective) to expect the department to win a very high percentage of its FCPA prosecution against individuals….

This raises the question – what percentage of DOJ FCPA losses is acceptable? To borrow from Justice Potter Stewart’s classic reasoning in Jacobellis v. Ohio, I don’t know what level of DOJ FCPA losses is acceptable and the answer may be indefinable. But I know it when I see it, and the number and magnitude of DOJ’s recent FCPA losses is unacceptable.
