Richard Grime

In this episode, Richard Grime (Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and former Assistant Director of SEC Enforcement) discusses: (i) reasons for the general increase in FCPA enforcement (among the reasons mentioned is "the government has realized this is a money-winner"; (ii) whether FCPA enforcement, including the internal control's provisions, has been pushed beyond the breaking point (in Grime's words yes it has and "almost any conduct becomes subject to an enforcement vehicle"); and (iii) whether long, drawn-out FCPA investigations can be avoided. The episode is a must listen if you want to hear informed and candid commentary about the current FCPA enforcement landscape from someone who used to enforce the FCPA.
