In this episode I visit with Benjamin Britz, a partner at Hughes Hubbard & Reed. We review the current state of the Varsity Blues prosecutions, including the guilty pleas and those still maintaining their innocence. We consider the evidence presented and where the case may be heading.

He has represented clients before all manner of domestic and international enforcement agencies, including the Department of Justice, Securities and Exchange Commission, UK Serious Fraud Office and the enforcement offices of the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and African Development Bank, among others.
