Project 1
A district attorney in northern California indicted the former CEO of a mortgage brokerage and nine other defendants in connection with a fraudulent mortgage-elimination scheme. The prosecution brought in an FBI accountant as an expert witness to present circumstantial evidence that the CEO had misappropriated loan proceeds by filing forged reconveyances. JPHI audited the same bank records and interviewed the same witnesses as the prosecution and provided the defense with evidence that the FBI accountant and a D.A. investigator had made multiple erroneous statements in their testimony. |
Project 2
An employee at a major university filed a workers' compensation claim stating that he had suffered psychological trauma related to a workplace injury. During nearly five years of litigating his case, he repeatedly denied any outside stress factors in his life. An investigation by JPHI revealed that, concurrent with his claim, the employee had paid nearly $400,000 in legal fees on behalf of his son, who was convicted and incarcerated in connection with the largest seizure of MDMA (commonly known as ecstasy) in U.S. history. During the same period, the employee's nephew, who participated in the MDMA scheme, was shot and killed. |
Project 3
A Bay Area financial services firm wanted to help its start-up company clients establish and obtain business credit. The firm sourced a local broker on the Internet who was offering seasoned credit trade lines. The broker demanded advanced fees of nearly $100,000, which the firm and its clients paid. Then the broker disappeared without delivering what he had promised. JPHI was retained to locate the broker and the misappropriated funds. After tracing multiple businesses, people, and illicit transactions across the U.S., JPHI discovered that the broker and his partner in North Carolina had been defrauded by a third perpetrator in Las Vegas, who had promised to supply them with cheap trade lines but instead absconded with their ill-gotten cash. |
