Overview

This course shows how undisciplined decisions in business can lead to government investigations and prison terms. We profile three entrepreneurs from three separate industries who built billion-dollar enterprises. Despite well-developed infrastructures, simple business decisions led to their being wrapped into government investigations, criminal indictments, and collateral consequences that accompany felony convictions for white-collar crime related to federal election laws, tax fraud, and securities fraud.
