Black was allegedly laundered millions of dollars for a Detroit drug trafficking ring through an offshore account in the Cayman Islands, with connections in Colombia, for which he made a 25 percent commission (Covell & Walker, 2013, p. 222). A person like Tank Black is a person you want to be very protected from and don’t want to encounter, which the bureaucracy structure helps really prevent. In a bureaucracy structure, decisions are made through an organized process and a strict command and control structure is present at all time (Kermit, 2016). Everyone in a bureaucratic organization is expected to behave according to company policy (Kermit, 2016). The things that an agent can do can also have an effect on you such as when Tank Black lost his $3.6 million signing bonus, which Black had invested in a pyramid scheme that promised a 36 percent annual return on loans made to people who used their car titles as collateral (Covell & Walker, 2013, p.222), but the bureaucratic structure will take action on an agent for using these type of tactics, which is why the bureaucratic structure is on your side to protect you and cause many agents to operate by the

The FBI, under Director James Comey, seems to have wilted under the pressure of the Clinton super-powers by refusing to recommend prosecution for all the explicit ways Hillary violated 18 U.S. Code § 793(e) and (f). What normally requires a prima facie determination making "gathering, transmitting or losing defense information" a felony based on “gross misconduct” alone, has been complicated by adding the burden of proving intent, in this case, to excuse Comey’s decision.

If section 42 is not chilling enough, consider the definition of "corrupt conduct". It includes conduct by an employee or contractor or consultant that is judged to be "abusing his or her position".

There has been suggestions that the recurrent use of DPAs and NPAs shows laziness on the part of the DoJ and also functions as a source of cash flow for the government. First, laziness is an inaccurate perception from those that are not familiar with the dynamics of these cases. Anti-corruption investigations are complex and extensive in nature (S. Lynch, personal communication, February 11, 2015). Prosecutors must also ensure that the proof beyond a reasonable doubt is met. Richman (2014) found that the use of these agreements are alternative resolutions prosecutors have practiced rather than taking the risk of organization escaping criminal liability altogether (p. 227). Therefore, the use of these agreements is effective in theory.

In particular, Cheng has failed to perform a performance audit for the District Attorney. Executives at the District Attorney’s Office would not cooperate with the audit the Cheng was required to perform. Instead of executing his authority, he complied with the District Attorney and allowed an independent auditor to perform the audit. The District Attorney advised Cheng that the audit would be complete by February 2015 but that was not the case. The Board of Supervisor was disappointed with Cheng ability to execute his job efficiently (Gerda,

This issue is widely covered by the media and is a major concern of our citizens. Recently, the competent and professional service that federal law enforcement officials provide has been overshadowed by unsavory incidents. These incidents remain in the collective memory of the people, thereby, harming the reputation and potential effectiveness of these agencies. The harmful decisions of a few officials in agencies, such as the FBI, DEA, Border Patrol, and Secret Service, are absolutely damaging to the careers of effective, dedicated law enforcement professionals who protect and serve our communities. The Judiciary Committee is pursuing improvement in the review and enforcement of rules in the aforementioned agencies. The allegations made against law enforcement officials are to be further investigated and disciplinary procedures will be readjusted to allow the integrity of the agencies to not be harmfully represented again.

In the long run the congressional report built up that Solyndra case had abused vitality demonstration of 2005, particularly bureau of vitality affirmed advance certification by neglecting to take after due procedure. The panel additionally assessed how division of vitality oversaw government credit ensures (Weiner, 2012). The examinations unveiled that there was an irreconcilable circumstance in honoring Solyndra credit ensure subsequent to the real shareholder of the organization had political alliance with white house (Upton, 2012). In this manner, they inferred this may have impacted the rapid endorsement of credit surety to Solyndra (McNeil, 2013). This situation demonstrated unscrupulous behavior by the white house authorities and Solyndra chiefs on the grounds that they knew about irreconcilable circumstance. Solyndra directors likewise professedly damaged expense avoidance laws by petitioning for chapter 11 with the goal that they can keep a huge number of government advance as working misfortunes. This was a reasonable deviation from their ethical commitment to take after organization principles and regulations and also ensuring the enthusiasm of specialists. Solyndra slighted the procurements of Laborer Conformities and Retraining Notice (Caution) act, which expresses that specialists must be given sixty days cautioning before release. Nonetheless, the administration declined to recognize these procurements and laid-off all laborers when it petitioned for chapter 11. Couple of months after the fact, specialists sued the organization and recouped $3.5 million as a remuneration for wrong lay-offs (Bathon,

A whistleblower is someone usually an employee in a government agency who takes upon himself to report or disclose information on a threat or harm to the public interest and authority.

Director Robert Mueller was challenged with the response to 9/11 as well as realigning the mission of the FBI and relocating decision making abilities. As Gulati, Raffaelli and Rivkin noted, “the senior team also realized…that it could not decentralize decision rights until the systems, processes, and –crucially-, identity were in place to allow individuals spread widely throughout the organization to make the right choices” (2016, pg. 32). This leads directly into the question of formality within law enforcement organizations. Without the formality of rules, standards, or a defined mission statement, these large organizations would not see success. Giblin notes the pitfalls of formalized structures as well, which agencies have to be aware of and avoid making those mistakes, such as “excessive formalization” (2014, pg. 27). This exact reliance on structure over critical thinking can have negative consequences on employee morale, who will feel undervalued in their roles (Giblin,

Organizational Issues and the Criminal Justice System- The manner in which the criminal justice system is organized is vital in understanding the system, as well as building consensus and improved performance. Since the early 1970s, there has been a robust movement towards reorganizing the system. One of the primary paradigms in the scholarly literature surrounding the organizational efficacy of the system is the issue of whether the elements of the organization are autonomous or cooperative units of a larger organization.

In-house attorneys face a dynamic workplace environment as protections for whistleblowers continue to expand. One way courts may expand these protections is by relaxing the requisite specificity of whistleblower claims. In Sylvester v. Parexel Int’l, Inc., the Administrative Review Board (ARB) reversed a line of decisions requiring the allegation in a SOX whistleblower claim to “definitively and specifically” relate to shareholder fraud. The ARB noted that the heightened pleading standards for complaints filed in federal court, as established by the Supreme Court’s holdings in Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly and Ashcroft v. Iqbal, do not apply to SOX whistleblowing complaints. Instead, SOX complaints begin with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and are not subject to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The board determined that the implementing regulations of SOX
