Discussion Questions
1. What kind of noncash asset misappropriation scheme was perpetrated by Mr. Kozlowski?
2. Why does the venue for the criminal prosecution matter? Given that Mr. Kozlowski was prosecuted in state court, how does he likely benefit and how is he likely to suffer in contrast to being prosecuted in the Federal system?
