The Odysseus Project came into being as the alter-ego of its executive director, JP Nixon. Mr. Nixon is an attorney by trade but also spent several years at the helm of a joint Federal-State task force, based out of Miami, Florida, that conducted complex international money laundering investigations, focused on the activities of Colombian and Mexican drug cartels. His accomplishments, as they are, include orchestrating an operation that resulted in the largest cash seizure in US history, totaling approximately 25 million dollars hidden in a trafficker’s residence and helping the US government sting terrorist financiers working for Hezbollah in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. He holds degrees from the University of California at Berkeley (BA), Quinnipiac University (JD), and the University of Pennsylvania (MPA).
