Richard Adame is the Founder and CEO of Megalodon Private Investigations Firm. The firm focuses on matters where financial complexity, human behavior, and high stakes intersect.

Richard previously served as an IRS Agent, where he conducted investigations involving complex financial, tax, and regulatory matters. As a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), he brings an additional layer of financial analysis to cases involving fraud, asset tracing, financial disputes, and corporate investigations.

Earlier in his career, he served as a Corrections Officer in a high-security adult male prison, where he developed an ability to quickly read human behavior, recognize deception, and maintain control in high-pressure environments. Those psychological insights continue to shape his approach to investigations, litigation support, and complex financial disputes.

Richard also spent years working in private security, including supervisory positions within corporate security operations, where he developed advanced risk management skills and operational leadership experience.

He is a licensed Private Investigator (PI), a U.S. Army veteran, and holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA).

The Operator serves as the first point of contact for the Megalodon firms and is the steward of all incoming communications. With a calm, reassuring presence, The Operator manages client intake, schedules consultations, and ensures that every matter is directed with precision and discretion.

Clients quickly discover that speaking with The Operator feels natural and comfortable, as though they are confiding in someone whose sole purpose is to ensure their needs are handled properly and their privacy respected.

Like the deep waters that inspire the Megalodon brand, The Operator works largely behind the scenes — ensuring that every inquiry is received, every message reaches the right destination, and every client interaction reflects our firm's standards of professionalism and customer service.
