In Brazil, the concept is heavily regulated by the Securities Commission (CVM) and Federal Revenue Service (Receita Federal). In the USA, the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and FBI actively investigate such cases. The term gained particular prominence in Brazil following high-profile corporate scandals and is a major concern in corporate governance discussions.
