Bill McMurray

Mr. William “Bill” McMurry is a career law enforcement and intelligence professional who serves as the CEO of W1 Global. Mr. McMurry is a retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent who served in the FBI’s New York Office for twenty-four years. In 2015, Mr. McMurry was selected as the FBI’s first Supervisory Special Agent for the newly created International Corruption Squad in the FBI’s New York Division. The squad was created to investigate violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), matters involving complex money laundering in connection to corrupt foreign officials and Anti-Trust matters. As a result of Mr. McMurry’s leadership, his team evolved into a global leader concerning foreign corruption, complex money laundering and corporate malfeasance investigations. In 2019, Mr. McMurry served as the FBI Headquarters Unit Chief for the International Corruption Unit (ICU). In that capacity Mr. McMurry oversaw the Foreign Corruption and Anti-Trust programs for the entire FBI. As the ICU Unit Chief, Mr. McMurry supervised hundreds of investigations, approximately sixty Special Agents, Analysts and Forensic Accountants. Among the several high-profile cases led by Mr. McMurry were two of the largest foreign corruption cases in history. The first investigation involved a $4.7 Billion-dollar scheme to embezzle funds from a Malaysian government fund known as 1MDB. The investigation is ongoing but to date, has resulted in the seizure of approximately $1.8 Billion dollars in money and assets by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) which represents the largest civil forfeiture actions to date by DOJ’s Kleptocracy Initiative. The investigation has also resulted in US indictments of several co-conspirators to include, high level bankers from Goldman Sachs, a corrupt DOJ official and lobbyists for senior US Government officials. Mr. McMurry was instrumental in fostering cooperation with multiple jurisdictions effected by the 1MDB criminal scheme. Mr. McMurry’s team has provided significant support to Malaysian investigative efforts which has led to the conviction of the former Prime Minister of Malaysia for his role in the scheme. The cooperation fostered with Swiss authorities on the 1MDB matter has been described as historic. Born : Unknown
