- Twenty-Eight Words: Enforcing Corporate Fiduciary Duties Through Criminal Prosecution of Honest Services Fraud
This article examines the federal government's growing use of 18 USC § 1346 to prosecute public company executives for breaching their fiduciary duties. Section 1346 is a controversial but under-examined statute making it a felony to engage in a scheme "to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services." Although enacted by Congress over twenty years ago, the Supreme Court repeatedly declined to review the statute, until now. The questions before the Supreme Court are of particular interest to public company executives and their professional advisors. Traditionally, Delaware law has governed the content and enforcement of executives' legal duties, largely protecting public company fiduciaries from civil liability. Now, with the emergence of honest services fraud as a weapon ...

NEW YORK, July 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- While Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prosecutions in the United States continued apace, the first half of 2011 showed some signs that judicial decisions and congressional scrutiny were leading to more - or, in some cases, less - clarity concerning the scope of the statute and the government's enforcement policy, according to global law firm Shearman & Sterling's semiannual report, "Recent Trends and Patterns in FCPA Enforcement," part of the firm's widely distributed FCPA Digest. Although the US government continues to collect record and headline-making fines in some FCPA prosecutions, the average corporate penalty continues to be relatively moderate, the analysis found.
