2019 FCPA/Anti-Corruption Year in Review
FCPA/Anti-Corruption Developments: 2019 Year in Review January 21, 2020 FCPA/Anti-Corruption Developments: 2019 Year in Review Lucinda A. Low and Brittany Prelogar (eds.)1 Introduction US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement authorities announced a steady stream of individual and corporate enforcement matters throughout 2019, some with eye-popping fines. Overall, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reported 50 FCPA-related actions (including 31 by the DOJ and 19 by the SEC) over the course of the year. The $2.9 billion in total fines, penalties, and disgorgement imposed in corporate FCPA settlements in 2019 nearly matched the record-breaking $2.91 billion imposed in 2018 in such matters. The DOJ also announced a slew of new charges against individuals and racked up a number of trial victories in existing cases. Mega settlements reached by two companies made up nearly two-thirds of the $2.9 billion total corporate penalties imposed in 2019. In the first quarter of the year, Mobile TeleSystems PJSC (MTS) agreed to pay $850 million in penalties and disgorgement to resolve charges against it, joining the ranks of fellow companies Telia and VimpelCom among the top FCPA fines to date for conduct relating to the Uzbek telecommunications sector. In a strong book-end to the year, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Ericsson) and its subsidiary, Ericsson Egypt Ltd. (Ericsson Egypt), agreed to pay more than $1 billion in penalties and disgorgement to resolve DOJ and SEC investigations for conduct in multiple countries. Enforcement against individuals, especially by the DOJ, was also particularly robust in 2019. -

Causes and Permanence of Corruption, the Role of Trust, and Social Dilemmas: the Case of Ecuador+
Causes and permanence of corruption, the role of trust, and social dilemmas: The case of Ecuador+ ENRIQUE CRESPO* The London School of Economics and Political Science [email protected] https://doi.org/10.18800/rcpg.201702.001 A The present study aims to discuss corruption, its causes, and its persistence using the research agenda proposed by Bo Rothstein. As a rule, studies and theories have analysed corruption using structural variables like the economy, social development, and democracy, among others. Nevertheless, little has been explained about the role of other—non-structural—variables in generating and sustaining corruption, such as interpersonal/institutional trust and social dilemmas. Therefore, this study will use data obtained from the Vanderbilt University project Americas Barometer in 2014 to analyse the case of Ecuador. The objective of this paper is twofold: first, to contrast the claims of major theories of structural causes of corruption with what is observed in Ecuador, and second, to use Rothstein’s framework to assess the links between trust, social dilemmas, and corruption in the selected case study. From this analysis, we can assert that the hypotheses constructed by Rothstein are confirmed in the case of Ecuador. On the one hand, there seems to be a positive correlation between vertical and horizontal trust in the country. On the other hand, looking at the fitted models, it is also possible to claim that there is a negative association between interpersonal trust and the perception and persistence of corruption in Ecuador. Keywords: corruption, trust, interpersonal, institutional, structural, social dilemmas, Ecuador, causes, persistence. + Recibido el 24 de mayo de 2017; aceptado el 13 de setiembre de 2017. -

Quid Pro Quo Redux, Part One: the Trump Tower Dangle
QUID PRO QUO REDUX, PART ONE: THE TRUMP TOWER DANGLE Last May, I wrote a series using the questions (as imagined by Jay Sekulow) Mueller had posed to Trump to lay out what theory of investigation Mueller might be pursuing — and what details we know about it. We’ve learned a lot more about the investigation and confirmed that the investigation focusing on Trump personally includes both a criminal and a counterintelligence component. I wanted to update the series. Because we know so much more about both sides of this quid pro quo, the organization of the series will be somewhat different. November 9, 2013: During a 2013 Trip To Russia, What Communication and Relationships Did You Have with the Agalarovs and Russian Government Officials? On November 9, 2013, Aras Agalorov helped Trump put on Miss Universe in Moscow; Trump Tower meeting attendees Rob Goldstone and Ike Kaveladze were both involved, as were Don Jr, Michael Cohen, and Keith Schiller. If the pee tape — or any kompromat involving “golden showers,” as Jim Comey claims Trump called it — exists, it was made on November 8, 2013. The prior trip set up the 2016 quid pro quo in several ways. First, it deepened Trump’s desire for a Moscow Trump Tower — an effort the Agalrovs and Trumps pursued for years after the meeting. It established Trump’s enthusiasm for Vladimir Putin — though Putin reportedly disappointed Trump’s desire for a meeting on that prior occasion. It also introduced Trump to a bunch of other oligarchs. Just after Trump kicked off his presidential bid, Emin invited Trump to his father’s birthday party in Moscow on November 8 (PDF 17), the first of a series of outreaches during Trump’s campaign which would continue through the election. -
There Are No “Statute of Limitations” on FRAUD!
There Are No “Statute of Limitations” On FRAUD! Part 5 I suggested in Part 4 that “Q” might not be what many have been led to believe. In my article “God Promised to Expose Evil in the Last Days – Part 7” it was revealed that Donald Trump was recruited by high-ranking generals and admirals in the U.S. military to run for the office of President in 2016. He was given assurance for his family’s safety as well as his own safety. At least 14 attempts have been made to date on his life and they were thwarted by the Marine Corp security, the Secret Service, and his private personally paid security. The most recent attempt on the President’s life was just before Christmas, 2018 when a U.S. Marine from the White House Marine Detail was shot and killed by Marine Corp security, as the President was hurried down an elevator to the White House command center several floors below. As interest has grown in the “Q” posts and drops, there have been rebuttals on the Internet, claiming something to the effect that “Q” is a psyop scam. I’m not surprised by the sudden interest in refuting “Q” and the “Q” posts and drops. Neither am I surprised by the efforts to refute or dismiss any of “Q” posts. In line with this attack, certain sites are posting alleged statements by Hillary Rodham Clinton, giving the appearance that she is still active. At Christmas, 2018, both the Clinton’s and the Obama’s posted strange posts with older images that had been taken when they were in the White House. -
The Sater and Cohen Deal Gets Handed Off to Millian and Papadopoulos?
JULY 22, 2016: THE SATER AND COHEN DEAL GETS HANDED OFF TO MILLIAN AND PAPADOPOULOS? Last night on TV, Anthony Cormier said that the negotiations between Michael Cohen and Felix Sater actually continued into July, but that the later discussions were on encrypted chats that got deleted. We know that Sater was at Trump Tower on July 21, 2016, because he bought some campaign swag that showed up in FEC filings. (h/t Andrew Rice on Twitter) Sater told POLITICO he was unaware he had exceeded the maximum contribution. Informed that purchases of campaign paraphernalia count as contributions, Sater said he had bought campaign merchandise in the basement of Trump Tower last month. He said he made two $2,700 contributions to the Trump campaign online through his iPad. The purchase of campaign merchandise and two contributions for $2,700 each are all dated July 21 in the FEC filing. That same day, George Papadopoulos signaled something to Ivan Timofeev about Trump’s RNC speech. “How are things [Timofeev]? Keep an eye on the speech tonight. Should be good.” The next day is almost certainly when Sergei Millian first started cultivating Papadopoulos. Millian’s cultivation of Papadopoulos likely explains this reference in the affidavit supporting Papadopoulos’ arrest, showing Papadopoulos asking Ivan Timofeev over Facebook on July 22, 2016 for any information he had on someone he was about to meet for the first time (see my timeline here). “If you know any background of him that is noteworthy before I see him, kindly send my way.” That would say that, on the same day WikiLeaks released the DNC emails — which itself took place a day after Papadopoulos signaled something about Trump’s RNC speech to Timofeev — Millian started cultivating Papadopoulos, who apparently had started spending more time in NYC. -
