As we wrote earlier this month, the Department of Justice (DOJ) made significant news at the recent American Bar Association White Collar Conference. But the Department didn’t stop at announcing its pilot whistleblower incentive program — Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division Nicole Argentieri and Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew Olsen, highlighted several other areas on which the Department is focused:
- Stiffer penalties for Artificial Intelligence (AI) facilitated violations
- Stiffer penalties for recidivism
- Clarification of the Foreign Extortion Prevention Act (FEPA)
- Sale of US citizens’ data to certain foreign parties
