Abstract
An introductory essay explains the differences between grand-jury secrecy rules and investigative secrecy in general, as well as the implications of grand jury secrecy for the prosecution of white-collar crime. The discussion highlights the handling of white-collar defendants and explores some of the reasons for and against this disparate handling. Additional papers focus on antitrust violations, computer crimes, corporate criminal liability, employment-related crimes, environmental crimes, false claims, and false statements. Further papers examine Federal criminal conflict of interest, Federal criminal conspiracy, Federal Food and Drug Act violations, financial institutions fraud, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Other papers discuss health care fraud, independent counsel investigations, intellectual property crimes, mail and wire fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, perjury, procedural issues, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law, securities fraud, and tax violations.
