The Challenge
The founder of a company had invested USD 1 Billion of his own capital. The company subsequently raised another USD 1.5 Billion and went public. The founder was accused of involvement in a decade-long money laundering scheme perpetrated by senior executives. The executives had created an intricate network of 70 shell companies to siphon funds. The founder faced criminal charges and needed to prove they had no knowledge or involvement in the fraud.
