The “CFO ” Matter

The request seemed routine enough:
The client was looking to acquire a prestigious beverage company and requested background checks on six executives managing the company. Internal and external investigative checks had already been conducted by another provider – “no records found” – LexPRO was asked to confirm the findings. Five were clean. The CFO of eight years was…suspicious.

Chief Fake Officer?

This CFO was careful and clever. Decades of fraud, embezzlement, obstructing the IRS, even prison time, and still she was able to evade authorities and not trigger red flags on background checks. Why was LexPRO able to expose the truth?

While other background check providers found nothing, LexPRO found three name changes, two Social Security numbers,

two bankruptcies,

money laundering, reckless driving, and five years of prison time.
