Internal Investigation for Client in Fraud Scheme Relating to Status as Minority-Owned Business

Completed an internal investigation for a national communications company victimized by a fraud scheme related to service providers misrepresenting their status as city- and county-approved minority-owned businesses in order to secure certain work contracts. We assisted the U.S. Attorney’s Office in its preparation for trial, which resulted in a swift verdict of guilty on all counts. In addition to sentencing the defendants to prison, restitution was ordered for all of Loeb & Loeb’s fees.
