Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Alert Latin America Anti-Bribery Year-In-Review: 2019 Developments and Predictions for 2020
February 28, 2020 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Alert Latin America Anti-Bribery Year-in-Review: 2019 Developments and Predictions for 2020 By Tico Almeida, Lillian Howard Potter, and John F. Walsh1 I. INTRODUCTION Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement activity reached new heights in 2019. Corporate penalties paid to US enforcement agencies topped last year’s record levels, and individuals were charged at a pace matching last year’s near-record level.2 As discussed in detail below, Latin American citizens from Ecuador to Venezuela have recently found themselves facing criminal anti-corruption charges in federal courts in the US. These trends are critically important both to Latin American companies and to US companies doing business in Latin America. As recent enforcement trends show, foreign companies are a perennial target of US enforcement agencies. Nine of the top 10 all-time largest FCPA enforcement actions have been brought against companies based outside the US, including several Brazilian companies. Similarly, US companies with operations in Latin America have good reason to ensure that they have strong anti-corruption controls in place because, as discussed below, US enforcement agencies are investigating corruption by US companies operating across the region, from Mexico to Peru. This alert summarizes key Latin America 2019 anti-bribery enforcement developments and concludes with predictions for 2020. For a comprehensive global review of enforcement and policy developments, please refer to WilmerHale’s FCPA Alert: Global Anti-Bribery Year-in-Review for 2019. II. KEY INVESTIGATION-RELATED DEVELOPMENTS IN LATIN AMERICA A. Notable Features of 2019 Corporate Resolutions in Latin American Cases 1.

This Sunday's Scripture Readings
Sunday, March 1, 2015 This Sunday’s Scripture Readings 2nd Sunday of Lent http://new.usccb.org/bible/readings/030115.cfm A Spirit of Surrender Genesis 22:1-2, 9a, 10-13, 15-18 Romans 8:31b-34 Mark 9:2-10 A couple weeks ago, one of the most esteemed media writers in American journalism died: David Carr, of The New York Times. He was fifty-eight. Carr had been battling lung cancer. It wasn’t the only battle he’d waged in his life; Carr was also a recovering drug addict, who wrote of his journey from crack houses and into rehab and a new life in a memoir, Night of the Gun. Carr was eloquent and disarmingly honest about his problems and his recovery. He was also deeply spiritual, and a committed Catholic. In a 2011 interview with NPR’s Terry Gross, he opened up about that side of his life: “CARR: Am I, underneath all things, just a really wonderful, giving person? Or is there a force greater than myself that is leading me to act in ways that are altruistic and not self-interested and lead to the greater good? And so that’s - that’s sort of as far as I’ve gotten with a higher power thing, is I’m - you know, I’m kind of a pirate, kind of a thug. I mean, I’ve done a bunch of terrible things, and yet I’m able to, for the most part, be a decent person. How is that? Do I have some inner strength of character? I think not.

Case 1:17-cv-02958-GBD Document 5 Filed 04/25/17 Page 1 of 34 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ----------------------------------------------------------------)( ANDREA TANTAROS, Plaintiff, -- against- Docket No. ------ FO)( NEWS NETWORK, LLC, ROGER AILES, WILLIAM SHINE, IRENA BRIGANTI, PETER COMPLAINT A. SNYDER, DISRUPTOR, INC., and JOHN DOES 1-50. JURY DEMAND Defendants. ---------------------------------------------------------------)( Plaintiff ANDREA T ANTAROS ("Plaintiff or "Ms. Tantaros"), by her attorneys, Judd Burstein, P.C., complaining of the Defendants herein, alleges as follows: INTRODUCTION 1. The criminal conduct described in this Complaint is both highly complex and extremely high-tech - utilizing digital tools and computer/telephony 'hacking', allied media, social media and surreptitious surveillance as replacements for and enhancements to traditional work-place retaliation, extortion, physical threats, and professional/career assassination. Interestingly, this type of professional digital character-assassination (well-known in the political and movie/entertainment industries) is portrayed in a recent episode of the highly popular Showtime Network series, "Homeland." In this episode - entitled "Sock-Puppets" - the techniques described in this Complaint were used to destroy the reputation and public support of a new President-elect. 1 See http://www .newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/lindsay-kornickl20 17 /03/19/homeland-introduces-right- wing-fake-news-accounts Case 1:17-cv-02958-GBD Document 5 Filed 04/25/17 Page 2 of 34 2. For the uninitiated, such criminal activity will seem both bizarre and shocking. But, as shown by the many exhibits annexed to this Complaint, these activities have been long underway at Defendant Fox News, LLC ("Fox News"), and have continued unabated since the departure of Defendant Roger Ailes ("Ailes") from the network.

Name Brand: the Rise of the Independent Reporter Through Social Media Dr
Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies Volume: 2 – Issue: 3 – July - 2012 Name Brand: The Rise of the Independent Reporter through Social Media Dr. Brad Schultz, University of Mississippi Dr. Mary Lou Sheffer, University of Southern Mississippi, USA Abstract A theory of branding was applied to news reporters to assess if conditions are right for them to create a personal brand, as opposed to the news brand of their outlet. Attitudinal data were collected through a purposive survey of television and newspaper reporters across the U.S. Results suggested that while reporters are not actively trying to brand themselves, the conditions are ripe for personal branding to take place. Several environmental factors would need to change before such change could occur. © Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies 93 Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies Volume: 2 – Issue: 3 – July - 2012 One of the hallmarks of modern society is the concept of celebrity, which has become “an omnipresent feature of contemporary society, blazing lasting impressions in the memories of all who cross its path” (Kurzman, Anderson, Key, Lee, Moloney, Silver & Van Ryn, 2007, 347). Celebrity includes the concepts of privilege and status, but goes beyond them. Sociologists argue that today, “Celebrity is status on speed. It confers honor in days, not generations; it decays over time, rather than accumulating; and it demands a constant supply of new recruits, rather than erecting barriers to entry” (Kurzman, et al., 2007, 347). The emphasis on speed, supply and low barriers to entry have made the social media ideal for the celebrity culture.

Citizenfour Discussion Guide
www.influencefilmclub.com Citizenfour Discussion Guide Director: Laura Poitras Year: 2015 Time: 114 min You might know this director from: The Oath (2010) My Country, My Country (2006) Flag Wars (2003) FILM SUMMARY Director Laura Poitras was in the middle of her third documentary on post-9/11 America when she received an email from “Citizenfour,” an individual claiming to possess insider information on the wide-scale surveillance schemes of the U.S. government. Rather than brushing the message off as bogus, she pursued this mysterious mailer, embroiling herself in one of the greatest global shockwaves of this millennium thus far. Teaming up with journalist Glenn Greenwald of “The Guardian,” Poitras began her journey. The two travel to Hong Kong, where they meet “Citizenfour,” an infrastructure analyst named Edward Snowden working inside the National Security Agency. Joined by fellow Guardian colleague Ewen MacAskill, the four set up camp in Snowden’s hotel room, where over the course of the following eight days he reveals a shocking protocol in effect that will uproot the way citizens across the world view their leaders in the days to come. Snowden does not wish to remain anonymous, and yet he insists “I’m not the story.” In his mind the issues of liberty, justice, freedom, and democracy are at stake, and who he is has very little bearing on the intense implications of the mass surveillance in effect worldwide. Snowden reminds us, “It’s not science fiction. This is happening right now,” and at times the extent of information is just too massive to grasp, especially for the journalists involved.

Secret Brazil Archive Part 1
How and Why The Intercept Is Reporting on a Vast Trove of Materials About Brazil’s Operation Car Wash and Justice Minister Sergio Moro Glenn Greenwald, Leandro Demori, Betsy Reed June 9 2019, 3:57 p.m. Secret Brazil Archive Part 1 A massive archive of previously undisclosed materials reveals systematic wrongdoing among powerful officials — and the public has a right to know. The Intercept Brasil today published three explosive exposés showing highly controversial, politicized, and legally dubious internal discussions and secret actions by the Operation Car Wash anti-corruption task force of prosecutors, led by the chief prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol, along with then-Judge Sergio Moro, now the powerful and internationally celebrated justice minister for Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. These stories are based on a massive archive of previously undisclosed materials — including private chats, audio recordings, videos, photos, court proceedings, and other documentation — provided to us by an anonymous source. They reveal serious wrongdoing, unethical behavior, and systematic deceit about which the public, both in Brazil and internationally, has the right to know. Read Our Complete CoverageSecret Brazil Archive These three articles were published today in The Intercept Brasil in Portuguese, and we have synthesized them into two English-language articles for The Intercept. Given the size and global influence of Brazil under the new Bolsonaro government, these stories are of great significance to an international audience. This is merely the beginning of what we intend to be an ongoing journalistic investigation, using this massive archive of material, into the Car Wash corruption probe; Moro’s actions when he was a judge and those of the prosecutor Dallagnol; and the conduct of numerous individuals who continue to wield great political and economic power both inside Brazil and in other countries.

Influence on Journalism
Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series A Symbiotic Relationship Between Journalists and Bloggers By Richard Davis Fellow, Shorenstein Center, Spring 2008 Professor of Political Science, Brigham Young University #D-47 © 2008 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. On March 22, 2007, John Edwards’ presidential campaign announced that the candidate and his wife would hold an important press conference that afternoon. Shortly before the press conference, CNN, Fox News, and other cable networks began broadcasting stories that Edwards’ wife, Elizabeth, would announce that her breast cancer was no longer in remission and that her husband would suspend his presidential campaign. While the story spread across the Internet, the campaign told journalists the rumor was not true. However, the campaign’s denial failed to halt the spread of the story. The problem was that the story really was false. When the news conference occurred, the Edwards family announced they would continue their campaign despite the cancer news. Journalists struggled to explain how and why they had given out false information. The source for the news media accounts turned out to be a recently-created blog called Politico.com. In contravention of traditional journalistic standards, the blogger, a former Washington Post reporter, had reported the rumor after hearing it from only one source. The source turned out to be uninformed. The journalist justified his use of only one source, saying that blogs “share information in real time.”1 The Edwards’ campaign story highlights a problem for journalists sharing information “in real time.” While a reporter is seeking confirmation, he or she may find the initial source to be wrong.
