Episode Details

The offshore payment network was visible in the correspondent banking data. Three red flags. Available before the DOJ indictment. Not acted on by the institutional lenders with the largest exposure. This episode dissects the Odebrecht regulatory arbitrage mechanism, the FCPA jurisdictional exposure architecture, and the three institutional due diligence signals that indicated systematic bribery before the formal investigation surfaced it. GP/LP analysis. FCPA compliance. Infrastructure investment risk.
