> Whether you speak, what you say and how and when you say it can have a profound effect on your future when you find yourself involved in a white-collar criminal investigation. It is very disturbing that we live in a society with laws so obscure to the common person. Unless you know this "one weird trick to avoid indictment under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001", your life is held potentially at the whim of some random prosecutor. Such detachment of one's legal fate from one's actions has no place in modern lawful society. Information asymmetry is one of the primary sources of power disparity. Dividing those subject to whimsical prosecution into the "in-the-knows" and "know-nots" – whether through this law, civil forfeiture, the obscure tax code, or pay-to-play building codes – is a progenitor of the police state. Free society requires transparent law.
