SEC Charges Oracle a Second Time for Violations of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
Why is it that if I bribe government officials for myself I get jail time but if I do it for my business I just get a small fine?Edit: This is an honest question. I understand that there can be prosecutorial discretion and that most 'crimes' go un-prosecuted -- I'm not likely to be "caught" for personal bribes. But given that this reached the threshold of administrative attention I'm curious why the DOJ doesn't coordinate efforts with SEC in cases like this.
