Miriam Baer argues in her book that U.S. white collar crime statutes are doing a disservice to us all. She gives Caleb and Greg lots of examples of how this is, but before that she also tells the guys about her early law career working in Wilmington, Delaware, her time as a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, why some frauds get prosecuted while others don’t, and a memorable story about her former classmate, Ted Cruz.
