John
A. Grossman (Massachusetts Attorney General's Office)
Two Case Studies |
| |
| John Grossman
is Chief of Attorney General Tom Reilly’s Corruption,
Fraud and Computer Crime Division (“CFCC”).
CFCC is an integrated team of lawyers and investigators
that is
made up of ten prosecutors, thirteen Massachusetts State
Troopers, seven financial investigators, a computer forensics
expert,
victim witness advocates and support staff. Our mission is
to assure that law enforcement works for businesses and
individuals
who play by the rules, and so we focus on (a) “corporate
community prosecution” – responding to the priorities
of the corporate community: insider theft, computer security
and theft of intellectual property; (b) high priority consumer
protection cases - – fiduciary embezzlement, internet
crimes - - particularly those targeting children, and
immigration
cons and other multi-victim swindles; and (c) public corruption
cases, whether they involve officials betraying the public
trust or companies and individuals stealing from the government.
We believe that in order to accomplish our goals, we cannot
just prosecute cases. We must be involved in corporate associations
and public education efforts that promote the prevention
of
and failing that, efficient response to, white collar and
computer crime, we must work with other law enforcement
agencies
to leverage the expertise that we have developed by offering
training and informal consultation, and we must draft
and
promote legislation where the current statutes fall short.
Mr.
Grossman also serves as the President of Infragard -- Boston
and is a member of the Commonwealth’s Enterprise Security
Board. Mr. Grossman has been an Assistant Attorney General
since 1995 and prior to his current position, was a prosecutor
in the Special Investigations and Narcotics Division and Public
Integrity Division of the Attorney General's Office and ran
that office’s High Tech and Computer Crimes Division.
Before joining the A.G.'s Office, Mr. Grossman was a litigation
associate at the New York City law firm of Debevoise &
Plimpton and a law clerk to Judge Bailey Aldrich of the First
Circuit Court of Appeals. He is a summa cum laude graduate
of Boston University School of Law. |
