In response to two guilty pleas in two weeks relating to an
intricate conspiracy to steal biomedical research, U.S. Attorney
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, William M. McSwain
pledged his support for prosecution of trade secret theft and
economic espionage. Such prosecutions are viewed by McSwain as part
of white collar enforcement supported by the Justice Department.
McSwain also made clear that jail time is "absolutely on the
table." See "Philly's U.S. attorney pursuing
corporate espionage and white collar crime with '100 percent
support' from Jeff Sessions" in The Philadelphia
Inquirer for more.
