The Case of the $300M Sneaker King
Description
In May 2023, a forensic accountant was asked by a prominent Portland defense attorney to review what appeared to be a straightforward case. The investigation soon led to a warehouse tied to Michael Malekzadeh’s secondary-market Nike shoe business where red flags began to surface. What started as a simple question became the gateway to uncovering a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme.
In this webinar, you will learn how this case unfolded from Tiffany Couch, CFE, CPA, who led the investigation.
