Andrew Caspersen
former managing principal at Park Hill Group
Andrew W.W. Caspersen is an American financier and formerly a partner and managing director at PJT Partners Inc.'s Park Hill Group.
In March 2016, Caspersen was charged by federal prosecutors with securities fraud and wire fraud. The government alleged that Caspersen engaged in a $95 million fraud scheme, including over $20 million actually received, and the rest in solicited investments. In June 2016, the government filed additional charges, alleging a larger scheme in which Caspersen actually received $63 million, including money from family and friends. The government alleges that Caspersen lost $108 million in stock or options trading between February 11 and March 9, 2016.
On July 6, 2016 Caspersen pleaded guilty to fraud involving $38 million, one count of securities fraud and one count of wire fraud, as part of a plea agreement. Caspersen agreed with prosecutors to a sentence of 12 to 16 years in prison, but Judge Jed S. Rakoff, who has been a critic of Federal sentencing guidelines, departed downward from the plea agreement and sentenced Caspersen to only four years in prison. Caspersen was Federal inmate #75827-054 and was held in USP Lewisburg in Pennsylvania; he was released on 26 June 2019.
Caspersen was 39 years old when he was sentenced in 2016.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Andrew Caspersen” as former managing principal at Park Hill Group. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as former managing principal at Park Hill Group. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q23657280. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016 and 2019.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
