Comments on: DOJ To Beef Up Corporate Fraud Enforcement? Oh Happy Day! http://christyhardinsmith.firedoglake.com/2009/08/12/doj-to-beef-up-corporate-fraud-enforcement-oh-happy-day/ Dip your toe in the legal waters and change politics as you know it. http://christyhardinsmith.firedoglake.com Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:06:02 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Hugh http://christyhardinsmith.firedoglake.com/2009/08/12/doj-to-beef-up-corporate-fraud-enforcement-oh-happy-day/#comment-17670 Hugh Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:55:23 +0000 http://christyhardinsmith.firedoglake.com/2009/08/12/doj-to-beef-up-corporate-fraud-enforcement-oh-happy-day/#comment-17670 <p>The number of cases of fraud is in the millions. What we need to look out for is if corporations will be pursued criminally or not. We need to see too how many CEOs, CFOs, and board heads are taken down. While this is one piece of potentially good news, it won’t do much if broader reform and re-regulation are not enacted and enforced.</p> The number of cases of fraud is in the millions.
