In conjunction with the publication of STICKY FINGERS: Managing the Global Risk of Economic Espionage, this website will endeavor to publish timely updates of current Economic Espionage cases covered in the book. Other notable Economic Espionage cases that come along may be included here, too, even if they weren't covered in the book.
Also, due to the space limitations of book publishing, some of the abbreviated case studies highlighted in the chapter, "Do You Want Fries With That Secret?" are published in their entirety here. Click on the corresponding links below. However, please note that the text carries the same notice of copyright protection as if published in the original book.
But first, one global update concerning the Justice Department's stringent oversight provision dealing with the Economic Espionage Act that prevented U.S. Attorneys from filing any Section 1831 (international) or Section 1832 (domestic) economic espionage charges against defendants without first obtaining approval from the Attorney General and other select powers-that-be in the DOJ. Originally, the oversight provision was to last five years, scheduled to end in October 2001, which it did. However, without offering any explanation, on March 1, 2002, Attorney General John Ashcroft extended the oversight for Section 1831 charges only. A copy of that memorandum may be viewed by clicking http://www.cybercrime.gov/eea1996.htm.
