- Title
Corporate Corruption and the Complicity of Congress and the Supreme Court -- The Tortuous Path from Central Bank to Stoneridge Investment Partners.
- Authors
Murdock, Charles W.
- Abstract
This article asserts that Congress and the federal courts are complicit in the widespread corporate corruption that has come to light this past decade. It begins by exploring the notion of bias and then chronicles judicial developments which have protected corporate officials, who have engaged in securities fraud and other wrongful conduct, at the expense of innocent shareholders and investors. It also analyzes the public policy in favor of corruption embodied in the Private Litigation Securities Reform Act, and the actions of federal courts in expanding the protection of PLSRA even beyond that dictated by the language of the statute. It concludes with a strong criticism of the most recent decision of the Supreme Court in Stoneridge Inv. Partners, LLC v. Scientific-Atlanta, Inc., 128 S. Ct. 761 (2008), where the Supreme Court once again protected wrongdoers, who had engaged in unconscionable conduct, from judicial accountability.
