About Rob
For nearly two decades, Rob has helped guide clients in industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, financial services, retail, real estate, and government agencies through complex fraud and financial crime investigations and litigation analyses. He has served as an expert or consulting witness in a range of litigation matters, including shareholder disputes, breach of contract claims, wage and hour disputes, ability to pay, and the analysis of economic damages.
His engagements typically involve working closely with attorneys and clients to evaluate allegations of fraud or financial crimes, quantify economic damages, and craft effective presentations of findings to the end user. He also works with other parties (e.g., management teams, lenders, outside investors) to strengthen internal control environments to reduce the risk of losses associated with fraud or other impermissible activities.
Throughout his career, Rob has:
- Assisted multiple federal law enforcement and regulatory agencies with financial analyses in support of investigations and trial preparation for various alleged financial crimes, such as securities fraud, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations, Medicare fraud, and other violations.
- Conducted a forensic investigation into allegations of campaign finance violations by a regional healthcare provider and presented the investigation findings to federal regulators.
- Been retained as an expert witness by defense counsel to conduct a detailed asset tracing investigation in a multimillion-dollar “bust-out” scheme, which resulted in a significant decrease in the government’s loss calculation.
- On behalf of the Chapter 7 trustee, investigated a multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme perpetrated by the principal of multiple debtor entities. The investigation led to the recovery of millions of dollars in investor funds and a subsequent guilty plea by the principal.
