E15 - Shadows of Crypto Whistleblowers

Join us on our fifteenth episode with Daren Firestone, former federal prosecutor and white house attorney. During his time in the United States Department of Justice Tax Division, Daren led scores of white collar criminal tax prosecutions and investigations involving healthcare fraud, government procurement fraud, bankruptcy, and identity theft. He handled criminal cases involving off-shore accounts, tax shelters, Medicare coding, employment taxes, corporate and partnership taxes, and fraudulent tax preparation. After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard College, Daren became an actor, appearing in Off-Broadway shows, national commercials, and the feature film “Scenes from a Mall,” in which he played Woody Allen and Bette Midler’s son. He then went on to graduate magna cum laude from Northwestern Law School. Daren is the preeminent expert in keeping the identity of crypto whistleblowers confidential, even managing to hide them from the U.S. government during one of his cases.
