PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Vic currently works with clients to develop internal controls and best practices to lower their risk profile and exposure to fraud and corruption. When an investigation is needed, Vic applies his decades of experience to assess, investigate, and report findings. For example Vic has worked with C-Suite personnel of a large Canadian financial services organization to review and install best antifraud practices. His clients also include Fortune 500 Companies where he investigated and resolved large internal frauds and city and county governments in an investigative and advisory capacity.

While serving with the FBI, he played a leadership role in the early phases of the Enron and WorldCom investigations. These two massive corporate financial statement frauds led to the creation of the FBI’s corporate fraud response team (CFRT) of which Vic served as a member. While serving on the CFRT, Vic deployed as a forensic investigator and later as an attorney.

Vic led a public corruption squad in Houston, Texas that focused on local and statewide corruption. The investigations led to the convictions of a city councilman and an attorney general. The squad also focused on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act due to Houston’s nexus to international trade. Later, Vic led the Houston area health care fraud task force comprised of six agencies and 50 investigators and led teams investigating false claims against the government as well as qui tam matters.

Vic is the President of the Georgia Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
