Spectrum Gaming Group, a consultancy specialising in the economics, regulation and policy of legalised gambling, has appointed Dean DiPietro (pictured), a retired special agent of the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as a senior advisor – investigations.
Mr DiPietro, a 27-year veteran of the FBI, will work with Spectrum Gaming Group’s investigative teams worldwide on “financial crime risk, regulatory compliance, investigations, integrity issues, and emerging threats affecting the gaming industry,” according to the announcement.
Fredric Gushin, president and chief executive of Spectrum Gaming Group, was cited as saying: “Regulators, operators, and policymakers are confronting increasingly sophisticated risks, and Dean’s background will further strengthen Spectrum’s ability to deliver practical, independent guidance to clients around the world.”
The statement noted Mr DiPietro’s appointment came at a time of particular industry challenges relating to “financial crime, illicit finance, cyber-enabled fraud, and regulatory oversight”.
As well as his law-enforcement experience, Mr DiPietro has a master of business administration and a bachelor of science in business administration from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the U.S.
