This is a summary of my work and trials as a Special Agent and Computer Investigative Specialist for
Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division.
Special Agent (March 1987 – January 2, 2015): I became a special agent with the Criminal Investigation
Division of the IRS in 1987. As a S/A I have been responsible for investigating individuals, and businesses for
violations of various criminal charges including money laundering, RICO, tax evasion, mail fraud and
defrauding the government, multi-agency Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force cases
(OCDETF), multi-million dollar bankruptcy cases and multi-million dollar boiler room investigations and identity
theft cases. On January 2, 2015, I retired from my law enforcement position.
Computer Investigative Specialist – In 1990 I attended Seized Computer and Evidence Recovery. In 1995
I attended Computer Investigative Specialist training at the University of North Texas. As a CIS I am tasked to
recover evidence from electronic media such as computers, cell phones, tablets, floppy disks, CD’s, DVD’s,
and GPS’. I have testified dozens of times in federal court concerning evidence obtained during search
warrants. I have been qualified twice as an expert in computer forensics in federal court. As a CIS I have
processed tens of thousands of computers and other electronic devices. I have received training in various
forensic software packages, including XWays, ILook, Encase, and Access Data’s Forensic Tool Kit. I also had
the unique assignment of being a Macintosh or Apple specialist and I have received training in the Black Bag
Forensic package specifically used for Apple products. I have completed and instructed multiple classes on
data recovery and Microsoft products.
Significant Cases:
US vs. Salvatore Magluta – Miami: Narcotics King Pin who transported and distributed tens of thousands of
pounds of cocaine into the US. I testified in the trial against Mr. Magluta where he received 240 years in a
maximum security prison.
US vs. Compubras – Miami: Computer assembler charged with tax evasion. Testified concerning important
documents retrieved from computers. I was qualified as a computer forensic expert.
US Vs. Bernardo Davis – Atlanta: Identity theft case involving roughly 60 million in fraudulent tax refunds
claimed. Testified concerning documents retrieved off computers and text messages off of cell phones.
US Vs. Govereh - Atlanta: Testified concerning tax returns, pictures, internet artifacts, and documents
recovered from various computers seized during a search warrant.
Gregory Harrison (NC): Mr. Harrison ran multiple temporary labor companies which were located all over
the Southeastern United States. Mr. Harrison failed to file employment tax returns and used the withholdings
from his thousands of employees for personal gain. I was called into the case to assist in the recovery of the
accounting software that was stored on tape drives. Using the tape drives and tapes recovered during a
search warrant that had been executed years before I recovered the data and then analyzed it to determine
the amount of the loss. The accounting program was one that was obsolete and was out of production. I
conducted a large amount of research into the accounting program in order to get it operational. I located and
interviewed the original owners of the software and also the programmer but due to licensing issues I got very
little information. Through trial and error I eventually got the accounting software to run. I generated hundreds
of reports showing a loss of $60,000,000.00. During the trial I summarized my reports and presented the loss.
One of the prosecutors said “Mike is the best government witness I’ve ever worked with.” My testimony
resulted in guilty verdicts on all 69 counts. Mr. Harrison was sentenced to forty plus years.
American Rights Litigators-In 2004 I was the lead CIS on the execution of a search warrant at the offices of
American Rights Litigators (ARL). ARL was an organization with close to 5000 clients who assisted the
obstruction of collection of income taxes for their clients. At the search warrant there were 33 computers
including a Linux Email Server, Fax Server, and a Windows 2000 Server containing an access database of all

2. of ARL’s clients and their activities. I secured, imaged and analyzed the computers and the servers. Using
the Access Database I identified potential targets for the IRS.
• Specific ARL Trials: Wesley Snipes – Ocala: Spent one month in Ocala during the trial assisting with
prep and witness interviews. Testified for 4 plus hours concerning electronic evidence recovered by me
during the investigation.
• Eddie Kahn Et. Al.– Ocala and Washington DC: Mr. Kahn was the founder of ARL. I testified in two
trials concerning Mr. Kahn and most of the employees of ARL. During the trial in DC I prepped for over a
month and stayed in the courthouse for a month assisting with the trial. I was the first government
witness who introduced over 80% of the evidence. I was on the witness stand for 4 ½ days mostly under
direct examination.
• US Vs. Mahoney – Boston: I testified concerning the electronic evidence and physical evidence
obtained concerning the defendant during the ARL warrant.
• US Vs. Brown – Boston: I testified concerning the electronic evidence and physical evidence obtained
concerning the defendant during the ARL warrant.
• US Vs. Dr. Rodney Justin – North Carolina: I testified concerning the electronic evidence and physical
evidence obtained concerning the defendant during the ARL warrant.
• US Vs. Cote – Hartford: I testified concerning the electronic evidence and physical evidence obtained
concerning the defendant during the ARL warrant. I recovered and presented to the jury Skype
messages between the defendant and his wife that aided in his conviction.
• US Vs. Beiter – Ft. Lauderdale: I testified concerning the electronic evidence and physical evidence
obtained concerning the defendant during the ARL warrant.
• US Vs. Brent Gross – Detroit: I testified concerning the electronic evidence and physical evidence
obtained concerning the defendant during the ARL warrant.
These are only a few of the trials I testified in relative to the search warrant at ARL. Each of these defendants
was a client of ARL. These trials were separate and distinct from the two trials concerning Mr. Kahn and his
employees. Over a 10 year period, I testified in approximately 16 trials concerning the clients of ARL. In each
of the case the defendants were convicted and received lengthy sentences. Mr. Kahn is currently in prison for
20 years and each of the employees received 10 years each. The attempted fraud that was perpetrated by
ARL totaled well in excess of 1.5 billion dollars. I acted as the evidentiary and summary witness in DC.
