Apple Not Falling Far From Tree In Case of Andrew Caspersen Fraud Charges

The apple doesn’t often fall far from the tree, as evidenced by the recent fall of Andrew Caspersen, 39, charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with securities and wire fraud in connection with a scheme to defraud investors, many of them charitable foundations. The Harvard law school grad effortlessly floated in societal circles along the Eastern seaboard, as did his billionaire father, Finn M. W. Caspersen, who committed suicide September 7, 2009 near the Rhode Island country club he helped build as authorities were closing in on tax evasion charges.
