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 ...

As the price of oil continues its climb, a potential catastrophe looms on the horizon. While the countless effects of surging oil prices have been discussed at length, one possibility has received far less attention -- the revival of International Monetary Fund (IMF) Article VIII(2)(b) as a defense to financing contracts. If the recent surge in oil price accelerates, countries may be forced to adopt new monetary policies to protect their own faltering currencies. Article VIII(2)(b) completely bars the enforcement of an illegal exchange contract in any IMF member state. This note attempts to show how this diminutive IMF article, if not treated with its deserved respect, has the potential to destroy financing contracts, especially in these times of global economic uncertainty. An IMF amen...
