DOJ/SEC DevelopmentsKOKESH UPDATE

12

• In the year since the Kokesh decision, the Division of Enforcement has had to

forego over $800 million of disgorgement in both litigated and settled actions.

• “We are redoubling our efforts to uncover, investigate, and bring cases as

quickly as possible . . . . But no matter how quickly we work, it is likely that

Kokesh will have a significant impact on our ability to enforce the federal

securities laws and obtain recovery for harmed investors in long-running frauds.”

Spotlight on Latin AmericaMEXICO’S PRESIDENT-ELECT’S EFFECT ON ANTI-CORRUPTION EFFORTS

15

““Eradicating corruption and impunity will

be the mission of the new government.

Under no circumstances will the next

president of the Republic permit

impunity or corruption. Be warned that

whoever may be involved shall be

punished, no matter who they are,

including accomplices that are friends

and relatives.

- Andrés Manuel López Obrador

Areas to WatchPROLIFERATION OF DPA AUTHORITY

16

Canada

No DPAs have occurred under

the new regime at this time.

Unclear whether the

agreements, which have to be

approved by a court, will

receive significant judicial

scrutiny.

Singapore

The regime came into effect

on March 19, 2018, but no

DPA use yet.

The substantive corporate

criminal statute only allows

for recovery up to $100,000.

Switzerland, Poland, and

Australia

Considering adopting a DPA scheme

for enforcement.

Thank you!
