Well-connected donors, highly placed officials, and popular public figures diverted tens of millions of dollars from the federal government's TANF — temporary assistance for needy families — program until a Republican auditor, his small team of dedicated investigators, and a Democratic prosecutor joined forces to hold them accountable in the face of intense obstruction and harassment. Peopled with unforgettable characters — from the perpetrators; to the impoverished citizens for whom the money was intended; to the investigators, prosecutors, and reporters who held them to account — Mississippi Swindle is a political and true crime drama that highlights larger crises while appealing to a broad nationwide audience. In his time as State Auditor, Shad White's team has stopped the largest public fraud in state history, made the largest civil recovery after an auditor's investigation in the history of the office, and concluded cases that, collectively, led to hundreds of years of prison sentences for fraudsters. White, a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), grew up in Sandersville, Mississippi, population 731, in a blue-collar family. His father and grandfather were oilfield pumpers, and his mother and grandmother were public school teachers. On the weekends, his father was music minister at their small country church, and his mother played the organ. Shad went on to earn degrees from the University of Mississippi, the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar, and Harvard Law School. White was appointed the 42nd State Auditor of Mississippi in July 2018 and won election to the office after establishing a tough, no-nonsense reputation. Prior to becoming Auditor, White served as a special prosecutor, won ethics cases against politicians who broke the law, and earned a certificate in forensic accounting (the use of accounting to discover fraud) from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He also serves in the military as a captain in the Mississippi National Guard. Today Shad, his wife Rina and their children live in Rankin County and are faithful members at St. Richard Church.

Ep 46 with Daniel GreenbergDaniel Greenberg is the founder, president, and lead investigator of Greenberg Corporate Intelligence, a Washington, DC-based boutique investigations firm that commenced operations in March 2023. The firm offers research and intelligence services for private-sector clients such as support attorneys, private equity firms, hedge funds, and compliance teams.  Dan has been working in the due diligence and corporate investigations field since 2010. Most recently, he was a managing director at Forward Risk, having previously worked at Kroll, Exiger and TD International. Beginning in 2018, Dan helped grow Forward Risk from a small, newly established company with a handful of employees to a premier firm with over 25 full-time investigators. Forward Risk was acquired in November 2022, and, after a transition period, Dan left to establish his own independent firm – GCI. He has a track record of uncovering hard-to-find facts, overcoming difficult challenges, and providing responsive service. His experience has mainly centered on investigative due diligence, shareholder activism support, litigation support, and competitive intelligence. Dan holds a B.A. in International Affairs from George Washington University and an M.A. in Middle Eastern History from Tel Aviv University. Dan is also Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE #: 869765). Dan is licensed as a Private Detective in the District of Columbia.  The term due diligence is so often overused that in present colloquial vernacular, it is used as a quick, easy, and often lazy shorthand way of describing a plethora of background checks – varying from basic, perfunctory desk research to full blown investigations. To tackle such misconceptions, Daniel chats with Regulatory Ramblings host Ajay Shamdasani to clarify what “due diligence” actually entails, while describing his own path as an entrepreneur. Daniel shares his recollections about going to college in the US capital and later pursuing further graduate study - delving into the past of a long-troubled region in Israel. The conversation goes on to delineate why investigative due diligence is (or should be) of paramount concern to the world's largest banking and financial institutions and multinational corporations, as well as whether traditional backgrounds such as law enforcement, military service or intelligence work are necessarily the best ways to get into such work in an age when many corporate investigators are ex-journalists or researchers. Daniel stresses that his firm's approach to such work is focused on using open sources, public records, and interviews to identify and understand fraudulent behaviour and other risk issue. The discussion concludes with a reflection on the tragic events following Hamas' incursion into Israel on October 7, 2023, and Daniel shares his expertise on how, with all the intelligence and technology Israel had at its disposal, even it was taken by surprise. HKU FinTech is the leading fintech research and education in Asia.

Marta Cadavid is co-founder and CEO at NoFraud, an organization dedicated to fighting fraud by using technology to anticipate criminal behavior. NoFraud specializes in forensic audit, cybersecurity, and investigations of economic crimes. As a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS), Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), AML Anti-Money Laundering Certified Associate (AMLCA), Marta possesses valuable experience that sets her a cut above the rest. She is also Consultant and International Coach of Auditool. Marta discusses how fraud triangle theory can be used to improve fraud detection. Fraud, corruption, waste, corporate abuse and other misbehaviors destroy an organization's value. They are the silent enemy that kills companies, Marta shares. This enemy was the driving force behind the conception of NoFraud; their goal was to be one step ahead of these misbehaviors. They now help corporations build value through the prediction, prevention, and detection of undesirable conduct at the workplace. According to Marta's research, 15-25% of people are never involved in unethical actions. Unfortunately, the larger percentage of people are prone to behaving according to the moment. NoFraud combines fraud triangle theory with artificial intelligence, data analytics and semantics to monitor patterns of keystrokes or communications from an individual.  Resources Marta Cadavid on LinkedIn Email: marta.cadavid.a@gmail.com  NoFraud.la | MartaCadavid.com To learn more, and contact Vincent Walden, please visit Alvarez and Marsal

In this show, Todd Orston and Leh Meriwether invited Laurie Dyke back onto the show to challenge her on how to calculate marital interests in situations involving separate property.     The show was packed full of great conversation, and more importantly, good information on how to work through tricky situations surrounding a fair division of a parties assets in a divorce when separate property is involved.  Here is a list of just some of the questions we answered during the show: What is the difference between marital and separate property? How do you break out the marital portion of a pre-marital retirement account? Is there any marital interest in a pre-marital IRA that is worth less at the time of divorce than it was at the time of marriage and if so, how would you calculate it? Is there a marital component to stock options that were granted before the marriage and if so, how would you calculate them? At what point is a pre-marital piece of real estate convert to marital property? If a spouse contributes blood, sweat and tears to a pre-marital home, does that create a marital interest in the property? If a husband enters the marriage with a business, how do you calculate the marital interest in the business if the business grows during the marriage?   Laurie is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) and a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE).  She testifies regularly as an expert witness in Court, but prefers to help lawyers and parties settle their cases by breaking down challenging financial issues in a divorce or similar family law matter.
