U.S. TRUSTEE PROGRAM MEETS WITH FIRST ASSISTANT U.S. ATTORNEY SARCONE

ALBANY, NEW YORK – First Assistant U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III met with U.S. Trustee William K. Harrington and Assistant U.S. Trustee Erin Champion on August 25.

The meeting served as a forum for strengthening the partnership between the United States Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Trustee Program (USTP), with a shared focus on improving coordination and refining processes for handling criminal referrals. Participants discussed strategies to more effectively identify, investigate, and pursue instances of agency fraud, as well as other criminal conduct uncovered through individual and corporate bankruptcy filings. The conversation highlighted the mutual commitment to enhancing information‑sharing, streamlining referral procedures, and ensuring that potential criminal activity emerging from bankruptcy proceedings is addressed promptly, thoroughly, and in a manner that supports broader enforcement objectives.

“Under the leadership of President Trump and Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Justice Department has a renewed focus on fraud, this meeting was an important step in ensuring that all levels of government are closely collaborating to identify and pursue instances of fraud wherever they may exist,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarcone. “I look forward to a productive relationship and thank Trustee Harrington for his efforts on supporting our crackdown on fraud within the Northern District.” MORE AT Northern District of New York | U.S. Trustee Program Meets with First Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarcone | United States Department of Justice
