After reading the David and Goliath at the WTO story, I felt Jay Cohen’s conviction was not justified. Jay Cohen was a citizen of the United States and was being charged with U.S. laws. However, he was operating the business in Antigua and Barbuda and followed all the rules and regulations to do so. He paid $100,000 for a business license, which was all a gambling entrepreneur needed. The Wire Wage Act of 1961 prohibited the use of, “’…a wire communication facility for the transmissions in interstate or foreign commerce of bets or wagers or information assisting in the placing of bets or wagers on any sporting event or contest,…
In a similar case Kerry F. Khan was a program manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that was charged with conspiracy, bribery, unlawful kickbacks, conspiracy to launder monetary instruments and criminal forfeiture. According to the U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen (2013), “Kerry Khan was the ringleader of the largest bribery and bid-rigging scheme in the history of federal contracting,” said U.S. Attorney Machen. “His corrupt network of public officials and private contractors looted the U.S. Treasury for years” (para. 8). For the act committed by Khan he was sentenced to 19 years in prison.…

Don Pedro is a friend to all and a beloved prince, but on the other hand, his evil brother Don John is a lying trickster. How are the brothers so different, and why do they contrast each other so much. The brothers are in a royal family, but Don John is the bastard child so he had no right to be the prince and is treated unfairly by most of society. Don Pedro acts nice and caring to all because of his happy life and right to the throne. In “Much ado about nothing” by William Shakespeare, Don John is a character foil for Don Pedro because of their contrasting actions, morals, and dialogue.…
I believe that the court reached the decision by the substantial evidence. There were documented evidence that shows the money laundering, stock options, and wire transfer to foreign officials. I think that the court was correct that the defendant did indeed conspire to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Travel Act.…
This comic above which was taken from The Fulano Files, (Reference: https://fulanofiles.blogspot.co.nz/2011/03/from-another-mexico-message-board.html) this represents the Mexican police force, which is already known for their corruption; whether it means they let illegal acts happen in the streets for a price (bribery), or if they say they will throw you in prison unless you pay them for “compensation”, this also happens vice-versa, gang members will tell them to accept the bribe or risk being killed. They have been known for their corruption all over the world and this comic sends a message, this message being bribery. The money in his right hand represents bribery from the illegal acts which happen from gang members and drug cartels; this…

In 2013, the founder of Peregrine Financial Group Inc. sentenced 50 years jail for stealing $250 million from investors and hiding his theft around 20 years. The U.S. Attorney Sean R. Berry of the Northern District of Iowa states that, for years seemed Russell Wasendorf, Sr. was a successful CEO of his own brokerage and respected member of his company, supporting local charity, and creating jobs. But in reality, “he was a con man who built a building on smoke and mirrors”. Russell Wasendorf, Sr. sentenced on variety of factors, such as financial loss, sophistically executed the fraud, and stole money of large number of victims and so on.…
During the fiscal years 2006-2009, Tyco Inc. was found to be involved in several illicit payment schemes. The company filed misstated financial statements with the SEC, failed to place and maintain efficient internal controls, paid false commissions and payments through a third party, and violated anti-bribery provisions set by the FCPA. By using Tyco’s international business, illegal acts were easily hidden within the financial statements and the company was able to earn $10.5 million in profits by employees’ commissions and promises with third party contracts.…
The term money laundering can be interpreted in different ways, however it is generally defined as the integration of criminal funds into the legitimate financial system with the aim of disguising their illegal origin (FATF, 2012b). It incentivises crime in that it allows criminals to realise the profits from their illegal activity, and allows them to use these to commit further unlawful acts. It undermines the integrity and stability of legitimate financial institutions, and it has detrimental impacts on both domestic and international economies (IMF, 2013: 1). As a result, it 's identification and prevention is in the public interest, and it is a focus of the financial community, governments and law-making bodies (Crown Prosecution Service, 2010: 2).…
The new deal would make Dugas Incorporated stock price go from his current $3.14 to maybe $10 or $15 up. Without thinking about the consequences, Roger accessed SP’s operating account and used every last dollar to purchase 470,000 shares in Dugas Incorporated. Roger’s conduct was in violation of Part A of SP’s Code of Ethics, as he engaged in insider trading, by illegally making profit by trading on the basis of nonpublic information.…

It all started with reasonable suspicion and then led to a woman on an operating table. A woman arrived in Spain on a suspicious flight with blood oozing out the bottom of her breast. So they brought her to the operating table where authorities said they found two bags of cocaine stashed within her breast. This woman departed from Bogota, Columbia on a hot flight, a flight that comes from a destination known for drug trafficking. I bet you didn’t know that 90% of the cocaine comes from within Columbia Says the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. What got her caught was her inability to sell the story as to why she was in town. And when asked why she was bleeding from her breast she quickly blurted implants that didn’t heal right. So they order her to see a medical team where they removed the implants and found nearly 1.4 kilos (3 lbs.) of pure Columbian Cocaine the street value of all of this goes upward from $35,000 a pound. She had three pounds on her so you can estimate she was worth roughing $115,000.…
