It is doubtful a compliance monitor would be more effective in changing corporate behavior than a sizable fine, and more importantly, firing the CEO and a couple others plus requiring a change of a third or half the board. Compliance monitors are simply expensive politically connected spanners in the works that hobble progress. Go to the heart of corporate governance: Money and ego. Neither CEOs nor Board members want things happening that could end their careers and social standing.

Hmm, DOJ backs out of criminal prosecution with additional 'fine'? From where is this money coming, to whom is this money going? Follow the money

So Boeing give the Department of Justice a big heap of money and the DOJ says "thanks very much, we won't prosecute you now".

DOJ drops charges against another client of AG Pam Bondi's brother Brad
A DOJ spokesperson says AG Pam Bondi "had no role" in the decision.

For the second time in less than a month, the Justice Department on Wednesday abruptly dropped charges against a client represented by Brad Bondi, the brother of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Federal prosecutors in Missouri this week agreed to voluntarily dismiss an indictment against Sid Chakraverty, a property developer who faced felony wire fraud charges. Prosecutors under the Biden administration accused Chakraverty in 2024 of lying about hiring women- and minority-owned subcontractors on a housing development in order to allegedly secure favorable tax incentives.

As recently as three weeks ago, career prosecutors held that Chakraverty should face criminal penalties for his alleged scheme.
