Fascinating, i think you are correct. This website at least suggests that there are some other laws regarding domestic bribes: https://www.globalcompliancenews.com/anti-corruption/anti-co...

But "Domestic Bribery Act" seems to be a hallucination. I have so far only encountered fake sources or links that don't exist, this kind of hallucination is new and unexpected.

Thanks for making me aware of this, quite scary how utterly convincing chatGPT was in this instance.



> this kind of hallucination is new and unexpected

I don’t think it’s new or unexpected at all. Remember the lawyers who used ChatGPT and it ended up fabricating case law?

ChatGPT is interesting and all but it’s seriously untrustworthy.


Also FWIW, I'm in the UK and was likely dealing with a UK subsidiary of Adobe, so the laws would likely be different anyway.


The SEC effectively has worldwide jurisdiction, for something that relates to a USA-listed company. The tip submission form seems relatively lightweight. https://www.sec.gov/whistleblower/submit-a-tip


The UK Bribery Act is, on paper, very strong and broad in application. Unfortunately prosecutions under it are exceptionally rare.


ChatGPT is trained to sound convincing, not to be correct.
