Bank Allegedly Finances Domestic Terrorist Attack

This case involves the victims of a domestic terrorist attack that was funded by an international bank. The bank in question allegedly evaded domestic economic sanctions, conducted illicit trade-finance transactions, and disguised financial payments in order to support and finance the terrorist group that committed the attack. An expert in the Anti-Terrorism Act was sought to calculate the economic loss occasioned by the deaths of the attack victims.

Question(s) For Expert Witness

1. Please describe experience calculating economic loss as it relates to this case.

Expert Witness Response E-175388

I have 30+ years of experience calculating economic loss and have testified before state and federal court. I was one of the principal testifying experts before the Federal 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. Of the 9/11 victims I testified for, several were also military personnel. I have also calculated loss for multiple military personnel over my career. I would look into earnings, fringe benefits (retirement plans, etc), post-attack job options, among other factors to calculate loss.
