Back in my DOJ days, former FBI Special Agent Jim Titcombe and I (and many other very talented people) had the wild experience of investigating and prosecuting a massive money laundering and bank fraud case against a man named Helmut Kiener, also known as the German "mini-Madoff." Mr. Kiener was charged with committing over $400,000,000 in hedge fund fraud. The case took more twists and turns, on more continents, than you would believe. And I'll never forget the challenge of pulling together the exceedingly complex financial facts into an understandable prosecution. This week, Jim and I enjoyed a reunion, as we were given the opportunity to share our Kiener experience with folks at the Wharton Executive Education's Advanced Risk Management Program. After recounting the almost-too-crazy-to-be-true details with the executives in attendance, we engaged in a very practical nuts-and-bolts discussion about Anti Money Laundering programs, hedge fund fraud red flags, the importance of compliance assessments, and tips to mitigate the risk of becoming a DOJ target. It was a fun and interesting afternoon, talking about a most memorable case.
