Grimy Times has learned that Sung-Hee Suh, a seasoned white collar crime attorney, has been appointed to serve as Deputy Assistant Attorney General overseeing the Appellate, Capital Case and Fraud Sections in the Criminal Division at the Justice Department.
Suh’s appointment was announced by Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell, who praised her exceptional qualifications and experience in the field of white collar crime.
"Sung-Hee Suh is an exceptional attorney with a depth of experience across the spectrum of the department’s practice areas, from white collar to violent crime," Caldwell said. "The Criminal Division continues to attract extraordinary talent both from within government and from the private sector. I am confident that Sung-Hee will be an excellent addition to the Criminal Division."
Suh returns to the Justice Department after spending 15 years at the law firm of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, where she was a partner in the Litigation, Financial Institutions, Securities Enforcement and White Collar Crime, and Regulatory and Compliance practice groups.
During her time at the law firm, Suh handled numerous high-profile matters involving securities and commodities fraud, public corruption, health care fraud, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, and anti-money laundering and economic sanctions violations.
Suh previously served in the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York from 1994 to 1999, where she investigated and prosecuted a wide range of crimes, including murder, drug trafficking, extortion, money laundering and fraud.
Among her notable achievements, Suh successfully prosecuted the acting boss of the Gambino family and more than 60 other members and associates of organized crime families. She also obtained guilty verdicts against a former managing director of a major securities firm, an attorney and an accountant for operating a Ponzi scheme.
Suh’s impressive track record has earned her numerous awards and recognition, including the Director’s Award for Superior Performance as an Assistant United States Attorney, the Women of Power and Influence Award from the National Organization for Women, and a Top 250 Women in Litigation award from Benchmark Litigation.
