that, while falling short of what the law terms ‘positive knowledge; nevertheless evidence a conscious disregard or deliberate ignorance
of known circumstances that should reasonably alert one to the high probability of violations of the Act.” H.R. Rep. No. 100-576, at 920; see also Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, Pub. L. No. 100- 418, § 5003, 102 Stat. 1107, 1423-24 (1988).

143 See United States v. Kozeny, 582 FE Supp. 2d 535, 537-40 (S.D.NY. 2008). Likewise, the court found that a provision under Azeri law that relieved bribe payors of criminal iability if they were extorted did
not make the bribe payments legal. Azeri extortion law precludes the prosecution of the payor of the bribes for the illegal payments, but it does not make the payments legal. Jd. at 540-41.
