He said the question is whether or not the Fraud Section’s corporate cases will be impacted by the pandemic in the future.“We may see a down year this year or the year after, because those cases that were resolved in 2020, [the Fraud Section] had been working on those for years,” James said. “I do have a feeling that even the corporate side was eventually impacted by the pandemic, in terms of generating new corporate cases.”Read the <a href="https://media2.mofo.com/v3/assets/blt5775cc69c999c255/blt4da422f4f666f28f/627322194886af2aa2be1440/210301-despite-pandemic-dojs-fraud-section.pdf" target="_blank">full article</a>.
