WorldCom to Madoff | A History of Firsts
RFS has administered some of the largest and most complex asset distributions of the last 20 years. From WorldCom, to Enron, to Madoff; when accuracy, reliability, and ingenuity mattered, RFS was the choice.
Decades of Expertise | Our Team
Leveraging decades of experience RFS is uniquely suited to assist clients with navigating the challenges of administering complex claim programs. We’re a diverse team of seasoned lawyers, accountants, auditors, analysts, programmers, and professionals united in our mission to help victims of unlawful conduct.
Helping Victims Recover from Unlawful Conduct.
RFS was founded almost 20 years ago by Richard C. Breeden, former Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Since then, we have handled many of the largest and most complex asset distributions on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and various federal courts.
RFS has more experience than any firm in the world handling asset distributions on behalf of the U.S. Government. We do not divide our time between mass torts, employment cases, or other types of funds. Rather, we focus all of our efforts on distributions relating to illegal conduct involving securities.
Our team is uniquely familiar with securities markets, SEC Fair Funds and remission of forfeiture proceedings at DOJ. We handle all aspects of an administration from start to finish in house, enabling us to control the pace and quality of all of our processes.
Paying the Right People the Right Amounts.
