The 27-count indictment charges Denis Field, the former CEO and chairman of BDO; tax lawyer Paul M. Daugerdas, the former head of Jenkens & Gilchrist's Chicago office; former Jenkens & Gilchrist lawyers Erwin Mayer and Donna Guerin; Robert Greisman, a former tax partner in BDO Seidman's Chicago office; and Raymond Craig Brubaker and David Parse, former investment representatives at a foreign bank that wasn't named in the indictment. The Wall Street Journal, however, reported that a person familiar with the matter says it is Deutsche Bank AG.
