Graphic reading "Press Release: Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco Delivers Keynote Remarks at the American Bar Association’s 39th National Institute on White Collar Crime. March 7, 2024."
“Our first priority has been - & will continue to be - individual accountability. Companies can only act through individuals. The rule of law demands that those most culpable for a company’s misconduct are the ones being charged, prosecuted, & convicted.” – Deputy AG Monaco
On consequences for corporate recidivists: “Penalties exist to deter future misconduct. They’re not the cost of doing business. So, when a company breaks the law again - & it’s clear the message wasn’t received - we need to ratchet up the sanctions.” – Deputy AG Monaco

“We have directed our prosecutors to look across their investigations and at every single time ask can I take a disruptive action? Can I prevent the next victim? Can I help use our tools in ways that are new and creative?" - Deputy AG Monaco
"For instance, follow that money, track it through the blockchain, get it back and provide it to the victims as we did in the Colonial pipeline case. Think in new ways about how we can use very traditional tools, like warrants, as we did in the HIVE operation." - Deputy AG Monaco
