Abstract

Centers on the company's plea of guilty to 2,000 counts of mail and wire fraud in response to the U.S. government's challenge to its cash management practices. Describes the Justice Department's investigations as well as the findings and recommendations of former Attorney General Griffin Bell, who was asked to determine responsibility for the questionable practices and to recommend organizational changes, if needed. A rewritten version of an earlier case.
