The prosecutor said the lawyers had made “inaccurate and disingenuous” statements to a Bermudian judge about Tamine, whom he described as “no longer a target” but instead a cooperating witness. The prosecutor went on to say that he had previously told a partner at the firm that the investigators’ targets were “Mr. Tamine’s former employer, and the entities that this individual controls,” including the Brockman family charitable trust and three other entities.
Asked to comment on that exchange, Miller & Chevalier said in a statement: “We do not speak to confidential communications between the DOJ and our lawyers in any matter.”
Brockman’s lawyer said that neither Brockman nor his legal team had any role in those proceedings. “Contentions that Mr. Brockman and his counsel have taken any steps to hinder any ongoing investigation are baseless and flatly denied,” according to Keneally.
Begun with fanfare, Brockman’s private equity push appears to have stalled. Falcata announced its first acquisition in August 2018 with a press release that it was buying Xpressdocs, a company owned by Reynolds & Reynolds. Brockman has been identified on corporate databases as a co-founder of Falcata, which didn’t respond to requests for comment.
On the day of the Xpressdocs announcement, authorities raided the Texas lawyer who’d done tax work on Brockman trust structures. Since then, Falcata has made no public announcements or deals.
