Michael Khoo is a Co-Director for the Department of Justice’s Task Force KleptoCapture.  The task force was announced in President Biden’s March 2022 State of the Union address, in which the president committed to “going after the crimes of the Russian oligarchs” and to seizing “their yachts, their luxury apartments, their private jets,” and other “ill-begotten gains.”  As co-director, Michael helps to coordinate and manage the investigation and prosecution of U.S. sanctions violations and attempts to evade export controls.  He also supervises the task force’s efforts to seize and forfeit the assets of individuals and entities involved in such violations.
