Jordan Khammar, Wire Fraud and Money Laundering, New York 2025

⏱ 2 min read

For over a decade, Jordan Khammar, the finance director of a multinational media and consulting company, orchestrated a massive $7.9 million scam from his office in New York. Between January 2015 and May 2025, Khammar exploited his access to the company’s financial systems to embezzle millions, using the funds for personal gain and side projects. The scheme was eventually uncovered by the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), leading to Khammar’s guilty plea in Brooklyn federal court.

Khammar’s role as finance director granted him control over the company’s financial accounts and systems, which he abused to initiate fraudulent transactions and launder the stolen money. The former finance director now faces a maximum sentence of 20 years’ imprisonment, as well as restitution and criminal forfeiture totaling $7.9 million.

The investigation and prosecution of Khammar’s case demonstrate the relentless pursuit of justice by the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and the IRS-CI. As stated by US Attorney Joseph Nocella, the office will continue to hold accountable those who commit economic crimes, and IRS-CI Special Agent in Charge Harry T. Chavis, Jr. emphasized that his agency will unwind every transaction to bring perpetrators to justice.

The guilty plea is a significant outcome in the case, marking a major victory for the authorities in their efforts to combat white-collar crime. As Khammar awaits sentencing, the case serves as a reminder of the severe consequences of engaging in fraudulent activities and the importance of corporate accountability.
