为什么值得读
- 解释为何检察官极难给大公司高管定罪
- 剖析司法为何倾向监管罚款而非实际判刑
- 探讨学术界蓄意视而不见等法律概念
“为什么2008年金融危机爆发后没有银行家锒铛入狱？为什么企业CEO们肆意妄为却似乎总能逃脱惩处？”这一问题不仅局限于那些被视作“Too Big to Fail”的金融巨头，还蔓延至美国几乎每一家大型企业——涵盖制药跨国公司、汽车制造商等各领域。The Chickenshit Club（圈内以此暗讽那些因恐惧败诉和畏惧法律阻碍而不敢履行职责的检察官）为这一现象揭示了深层原由。全书以人物为主线展开深度叙事，从Department of Justice内部视角揭露真相，抽丝剥茧地记述了过去十余年

……“明知故犯”（willful blindness）这一概念目前在法学学术圈死灰复燃，并成为以铁腕手段、毫不手软打击白领犯罪的基础，具体可以参考杰西·艾辛格（Jesse Eisinger）的《胆小鬼俱乐部》。《美国历史的循环》（The Cycles of American History）https://www.amazon.com/dp/0395957931/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0ea9... 《世代：美国未来的历史，1584至2069》（Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069）https://www.amazon.com/dp/0688119123/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kfa9...…

……合规监管），而不是让作恶者去坐牢。当然了，如果案子是个微不足道的小骗子犯下的，那美国司法部（DOJ）抓人坐牢可是毫不手软。https://www.amazon.com/Chickenshit-Club-Justice-Department-C...
