Members of the CRA team lead the investigation into an alleged fraud involving a $300m take-private transaction. As part of our assignment, we researched the counterparties held out by the acquisition target as providing millions of dollars in customer revenue.

Our findings were presented to the DOJ, SEC, and FBI who continue to investigate.
