A sample week

Last week was an interesting one for DDC where we found:

– 3 CEOs of public companies that lied in their bios, and in their most recent company filings;

– a Director of a public company who lied about his bio;

– a CEO of a public company that has 2 investment firms that are not properly registered with the applicable states, despite one of those companies previously being properly registered;

– a CFO of a hedge fund who claimed to have a CPA but did not;

– a Director of a public company who claimed to have a current CPA license and did not;

– a private school security guard who did not disclose that he was terminated from his previous school position, and where he was found to be a “danger to children”, despite the current school’s completing a background check that included finger printing;

– a security supervisor for a wealthy family who had falsified almost 90% of his security related credentials, including references;

– a debtor who had been evading service of process for over two years by using different names and addresses in multiple states which he had no previous connection with;

– a fraudulent auto financing scheme;

amongst other assignments for our valued clients.

Who is taking care of your children?

We recently researched a person tasked with caring for the children of a prominent hedge fund manager.  The caregiver has been driving an unregistered vehicle for 2 years and has extremely poor credit, with multiple liens and judgements.  In addition, the caregiver was previously operating an unlicensed business, a felony offense in the state it had operated in.

Another CEO with issues

Finished a report yesterday on the CEO of a public company who has been operating a separate regulated business in violation of state and federal laws.  What’s interesting is that at one time he did comply, then inexplicably stopped.  In addition, there are material misstatements on historical proxy statements filed relating to his other principal employment.
