Question 2

In U.S. v. King, King was a major investor in OSI, which was working on a land project in Costa Rica. He was accused by the U.S. government of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) by bribing government officials in Costa Rica, in an effort to make the land deal work. The U.S. courts held that:
a. no reasonable person could have inferred that the actions undertaken by King would result in the paying of a bribe, so he was not guilty of violating the FCPA
b. the recordings showed that King did not knowingly participate in offering bribes, so he could not be convicted under the FCPA
c. there was not sufficient evidence that King knowingly participated in and approved of offering a bribe so he could not be convicted under the FCPA
d. the case was unclear and should be reevaluated by the World Trade Organization e. none of the other choices are correct
