ACI’s 13th West Coast Forum on FCPA Enforcement and Compliance Conference

Partner Justin Weitz will speak during the American Conference Institute’s (ACI’s) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Enforcement and Compliance conference on the panel Cryptocurrency and the Lesser-Known Corruption Risks: Increased Regulatory Scrutiny of Crypto and Digital Currency.

As the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) begin to crack down on cryptocurrency, there is a sense that intensified FCPA scrutiny is looming. During this session, panelists will address unfamiliar compliance risks and best practices to reduce them amid regulatory grey areas. Justin will be joined by Melissa Lafierre, anti-bribery, corruption, and compliance counsel at Coinbase.

Topics will include:

• The scope of DOJ and SEC scrutiny of digital assets-and what it reveals for the future of FCPA compliance
• Understanding emerging risks and hidden corruption
• Evaluating how virtual assets are uniquely suited for bribery schemes
• Managing the challenges of crypto compliance as virtual assets
