HOUSTON, TX, October 01, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Ronald Oliver has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who, biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Drawing from over 36 years of professional financial investigative expertise, in 2019, Mr. Oliver founded BCR Investigations & Consulting Solutions, offering investigative and forensic accounting, as well as expert witness services to small businesses, corporations, high net-worth individuals, municipalities and law firms. Mr. Oliver's trusted partners hold a variety of investigative disciplines to augment BCR's investigative needs. His 10 years in the private sector, includes the roles of Director of Financial Investigations for a British firm; and Managing Director of Financial Investigations at an e-Discovery firm. His employment consisted of examination, investigating, and writing numerous multi-million dollar referrals for civil litigation and criminal prosecution. As a federal agent who thoroughly investigated criminal cases, he became highly adept with the "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" standard of proof required in criminal cases which requires deeper investigation than the "preponderance of evidence" required for civil cases. As a result, Mr. Oliver "Digs Deeper" to find evidence that links financial transactions to direct and sometimes indirect evidence that wins the day for his clients, as was the case when he had consulted on a Civil RICO matter targeting a number of professionals and a financial institution.
Mr. Oliver earned an Accounting Degree from the University of Kentucky and began his career in 1988 as a Special Agent with IRS Criminal Investigation, where he gained valuable expertise as a forensic accountant. IRS Special Agents are often referred to as the best financial investigators in the world, often called upon by many federal law enforcement agencies to assist with complex financial cases. Having worked with many different agencies, he was recruited by the FBI and ATF, and later transferred to ATF in 2000 where he retired as an ATF Special Agent / Intelligence Officer in 2014.
Driven to remain abreast of changes in his field, Mr. Oliver holds a Texas Private Investigations Business license; is a Certified Fraud Examiner; and Certified Financial Crimes Specialist, which annually requires 20 – 30 hours of continuing professional education. He is a member of both IRS and ATF Special Agent Associations. He was ordained as a Deacon in 1995 and volunteers in his church and community.
As an IRS Special Agent, Mr. Oliver was recognized for his work through accommodations by the US Attorney's Office, FBI Director, DEA Administrator, IRS Commissioner, and US Department of Justice, Assistant US Attorney General Tax Division. He received a Director's Award from the Executive Office for US Attorney's, presented in Washington DC by US Attorney General, Janet Reno. Mr. Oliver was the lead investigator responsible for financial investigative case work as well as the 1996 trial preparation on the Juan Garcia Abrego case. Following that case, he was asked by US DOJ, Asset Forfeiture & Money Laundering Section to present a case summary and financial investigative techniques to local and state task force officers, special agents and federal prosecutors. Juan Garcia Abrego was the founder of the Gulf Coast Drug Cartel and the first drug trafficker to be placed on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives. He was prosecuted under the federal Drug King Pin statutes, receiving 11 life sentences, with the jury awarding asset forfeiture in the amount of $350,000,000.
As a Special Agent with ATF, Mr. Oliver worked many types of criminal cases across ATF's jurisdiction, including violent crimes. He chose to use his financial investigative "toolbox" to disrupt and dismantle International Firearms Traffickers, Illicit Cigarette Traffickers, and Arson for Profit cases requiring the utilization of financial investigative techniques. One example was a 4 year undercover investigation utilizing DOJ Money Laundering Sting provisions to stop the flow of gray market, stolen, and counterfeit cigarettes, enriching organized criminal organizations. The International investigation determined containers of cigarettes were purchased under a contractual fraud scheme involving evasion of Federal Excise Tax, and a Money Laundering scheme. The cornerstone of his success stems from his enthusiasm and passion for justice.
