Episode Description

How did an employee inside Nike’s music licensing department siphon MILLIONS of dollars from the corporate giant without anyone noticing for over two years? In this episode of the FOX12 Oregon Podcast "Beyond the Broadcast," investigative reporters Spencer Schacht and Ward Jolles take you behind the headlines of a sophisticated white-collar kickback scheme happening right in Portland's backyard. Former Nike associate John Griffith and his co-conspirator, Brad Mosier, face more than two dozen serious felony counts, including money laundering and a rare grand jury indictment for racketeering. Beyond the counts, Spencer and Ward dig into the unanswered questions of the mysterious involvement of a third unnamed co-conspirator. This episode pulls back the curtain on the complex paper trails, active court cases, and the high-stakes accountability of local corporate giants.
