St. Louis, MO, July 24, 2026 —
Beaverton, OR – A former executive at athletic apparel giant Nike, John Griffith, faces multiple felony charges in an alleged scheme to defraud the company of over $1 million. Griffith, who previously held a position at Nike’s headquarters in Beaverton, is accused of collaborating with his associate, Brad Mosher, to execute the fraudulent plan.
According to the indictment, Griffith allegedly leveraged his executive role to inflate contracts awarded to Mosher’s company, Good Measure LLC. Investigators claim that Griffith then received kickbacks from these inflated contracts. These payments were reportedly funneled through a separate shell company established by Griffith himself.
The scheme, as detailed in legal documents, is alleged to have resulted in losses exceeding $1 million for Nike. Both Griffith and Mosher have been indicted on several felony counts. These charges include racketeering, theft, and money laundering, reflecting the seriousness and complexity of the alleged financial misconduct.
The indictment outlines a pattern of alleged illicit activity involving the manipulation of contractual agreements and the subsequent siphoning of company funds. Griffith’s position within Nike provided him the authority to influence contract decisions, which prosecutors allege he used for personal financial gain and to benefit his associate.
Mosher, as the owner of Good Measure LLC, was allegedly complicit in the contract inflation, allowing the scheme to proceed. The subsequent channeling of funds through a shell company created by Griffith further aimed to obscure the source of the illicit income and conceal the alleged theft.
The legal proceedings are now underway, with both individuals facing significant penalties if convicted on the multiple felony counts. The case highlights the internal controls and oversight challenges that large corporations face in preventing financial fraud by high-ranking employees.
