Largest FCPA Settlements

Reposted from fcpablog.com (there really is a blog for everything I guess) below is a list of the 10 largest settlements under the foreign corrupt practices act.  The largest settlement was $800m and the average of the 10 largest settlements is $317m.  Based on worries about an FCPA violation, WMT's stock has lost almost $10B worth of market cap today, 12.5x the largest settlement.

2. KBR / Halliburton (USA): $579 million in 2009.
