The TBA Federal Law Section will host a one-hour live virtual CLE on Dec. 8 from noon to 1 p.m. CST on the federal Economic Espionage Act. The program will look at the difficulties of prosecuting under the act and how prosecutors are turning to classic wire fraud and false statements criminal statutes to obtain convictions. The CLE will use the recent case of United States v. Anming Hu from the Eastern District of Tennessee as a case study. In that matter, the defendant’s motion for a judgment of acquittal was granted after a mistrial, and the defendant was acquitted on all counts.
