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.
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 figure out what happened. It was this complex criminal case, with hidden accounts, and tens of thousands of transactions, that convinced Tod that new tools were needed to tackle these crimes.
