John A. Grossman (Massachusetts Attorney General's Office)
What You Need Before Giving Data To the Cops (or Anyone Else) and Other Legal Pitfalls
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.
