The DOJ wants to close Antitrust Offices. The closing of four regional Antitrust Offices in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Dallas and Atlanta will significantly impact white collar crime prosecution in the United States. To save 8 million dollars a year the government wants to lose millions of dollars in fines a year. The Atlanta office alone collects over 20 million dollars a year in fines from white collar criminals.
The public is not aware that if we don't act immediately these offices can be closed within 3 weeks. Act now and tell Congress that this is a mistake that will impact our economic security for years to come. Keep the regional Antitrust offices open or the next fraud case that isn't prosecuted might be yours.
We are the 1% that prosecute the 1%. Please help us, go to www.saveantitrust.com and sign our petition, get information and share with your friends. Let people know what's going on. Thank You
Thank you.
The Cleveland Office alone obtained over $141 million in fines in 2010. Its trial attorneys also prosecuted individuals in the air cargo and municipal derivatives markets.
