In 2013, Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided 14 7-Eleven stores that subjected about 50 undocumented immigrants to negligent human rights violations. In 2018, ICE conducted a raid of separately owned franchises that resulted in 21 additional arrests. The franchises were held liable.

On September 26, 2017, the FBI announced the arrest of 10 men in connection with “fraud and corruption in college basketball.” The announcement shook the intercollegiate athletics world to its core. Three of ten individuals implicated in the investigation were employees or representatives of sportswear manufacturer, Adidas AG. This case delves thoroughly into the FBI’s investigation of the bribery and money laundering that took place over a two-year period and Adidas’s response. This case also offers an overview of the company’s history, highlights the history of endorsements, introduces another key player in the NCAA, and provides a framework for further analysis.
Case #19-10. (16 pp.)
Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the American Red Cross collects so many donations for
victims that it creates a special fund called the Liberty Fund to handle more than $564 million.
When the public discovers significant portions of the fund will not be used for the families of
those who died in the bombing, Congress intervenes and begins investigating Red Cross’
activities. The charity is also under fire for not cooperating with other charities in the distribution
of monies or using proper screening to determine genuine requests for relief. In the midst of the
largest scandal ever for the Red Cross, its CEO and president Dr. Bernadine Healy resigns and
the Board of the Red Cross, specifically Chairman David McLaughlin, must find a way to rebuild
trust in the Red Cross and ensure the public that the funds collected are distributed properly. (A)
