KC corporate criminal to give lecture today at Union
A former chief financial officer of a Kansas City investment firm who pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy and income tax charges will discuss corporate crime at 4:45 p.m. today at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Richard Halford, 67, of Overland Park, will talk about the consequences of white collar crime. The program is directed to students enrolled in the School of Business' emerging markets class, but the lecture is open to the public.
The presentation is a community service requirement in Halford's sentence.
Halford, former CEO of Owl Securities and Investments Ltd., pleaded guilty in 2001 to one felony count of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and three misdemeanor counts of failure to pay federal income taxes. Prosecutors said Halford offered $1.5 million in bribes to Costa Rican officials and politicians to push the construction of a port and resort complex there.
