Professional Experience

• Fraud Detection. John participated in the investigation of the largest not-for-profit bankruptcy in U.S. history, a collapse marked by fraudulent financial reporting and improper revenue recognition. The complex case included managing over 200 depositions.
  
  
• Internal Investigations. One of John’s internal investigations, at a health care organization, revealed a web of employee misconduct ranging from price collusion with vendors to falsifying expense accounts. Ultimately, 10 employees were terminated.
