Eric Fader was quoted in a January 27 article, "Trump DOJ
Likely to Keep Heat on Individuals for Health-Care Fraud," in
Bloomberg BNA's Health Care Daily Report and other
publications. The article discussed the U.S.
Department of Justice's so-called Yates memo which, among other
things, encouraged federal prosecutors to focus on individual
accountability in enforcement actions against corporations.
Although the Trump administration's priorities are unclear thus
far, Eric predicted that the DOJ's policy will remain basically
unchanged. "The issue of whether to hold individuals
accountable for corporate wrongdoing has not been a partisan issue
thus far," Eric said, "and Attorney General nominee [Sen.
Jeff] Sessions is a former prosecutor who has historically been
tough on white collar crime."
Eric also noted that the awkward transition between the Obama and
Trump administrations may cause a gap in enforcement activity.
