I\u2019ve speculated about this from time to time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\">I used to think that Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which makes it illegal for US companies to pay bribes abroad, was a way to ensure that US companies pay all their bribes locally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"CssComponent-sc-1oskqb9-0 QTextTwitterEmbed___StyledCssComponent-v3aijm-0 fueBRW\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=s_ketharaman&amp;dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3NwYWNlX2NhcmQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib2ZmIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd192aWRlb19wb3J0YWxzXzEyMzU2Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6ImNvbnRyb2wiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjo1fX0%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1356626113112457218&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.quora.com%2FWhy-does-it-appear-FBI-is-more-interested-in-fraud-outside-the-USA-while-it-appears-to-cover-up-avoid-or-ignore-fraud-by-judges-and-attorneys-especially-in-USA&amp;sessionId=21a3501c1d03acb93b4ef67d02c24f24a3ee30e0&amp;siteScreenName=Quora&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=f001879%3A1634581029404&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1356626113112457218\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\">Then I read a slightly different take by Matt Levine, which is around fines to paid locally: &#8220;&#8230; this is just the U.S. taking its cut. If you\u2019re a German bank bribing Saudi officials to win Middle Eastern business, you have to budget some money (by way of fines) to pay off the U.S. government too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\">I personally liked Levine\u2019s take more than mine but I leave it to you to decide which of the two you find more realistic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\">*: This is the original question I answered. I\u2019m repeating it to help me make sense of my answer in case it\u2019s moved to \/ merged with some other question that I didn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why does it appear FBI is more interested in fraud outside the USA, while it appears to cover up, avoid or ignore fraud by judges and attorneys (especially), in USA?*&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":3722,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5928","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sketharaman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sketharaman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sketharaman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sketharaman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sketharaman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5928"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sketharaman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5928\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5929,"href":"https:\/\/sketharaman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5928\/revisions\/5929"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sketharaman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sketharaman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
