Some human beings are wonderful. Some are middle of the road and some are truly terrible. Terrible human beings are frequently indistinguishable from wonderful ones. How can we tell them apart?

Successor liability under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act has been a risk for companies since the statute was first enacted. But until recently, the DOJ and SEC have been deliberately vague in terms of the guidance offered and their expectations about FCPA due diligence and the time imperatives surrounding post-merger integration as it relates to combining compliance programs.
