How I Went from Witness to Target in One Meeting
I walked into the meeting thinking I was just a witness. But seven minutes in, the FBI asked if I remembered a press release claiming my client's hedge fund returned 27% annually. I said no—twice. Then they showed me proof: an email I had written mocking that very claim. My lawyer ended the meeting on the spot. I wasn't under oath, but I had just obstructed a federal investigation. That moment changed everything.
