valid8's crime fighting origin
A $150 Million ponzi scheme
What started out as a liquidity issue for a mortgage security fund managed by Darren Berg turned into a $150 million Ponzi Scheme, ultimately the Pacific Northwestern United States largest ever.
where did the money go?
Valid8’s founder Tod McDonald worked on the forensic accounting team appointed by the court to take control of Berg’s assets and attempt to unravel his web of deception. It was this complex criminal case, with hidden accounts, tens of thousands of transactions and an active effort by to continue the deception, that convinced Tod that new tools were needed to tackle these crimes.
