President Bush's Corporate Fraud Task Force is led by the Deputy Attorney General. The President's Corporate Fraud Task Force comprises both a Department of Justice group that focuses on enhancing the criminal enforcement activities within the Department, and an inter-agency group that focuses on maximizing cooperation and joint regulatory and enforcement efforts throughout the federal law enforcement community. Former Deputy Attorney General Thompson explained the goal of the President's Corporate Fraud Task Force, "As we establish with ever increasing certainty the prospect that corporate criminals will lose both their fortunes and their liberty, we will have gone a long way to restoring the integrity of the market and the confidence of the nation."
