Who is Gregory Millman?

Gregory J. Millman is a freelance journalist and author of books on financial markets and on homeschooling. Millman graduated in 1975 from the University of Missouri in St. Louis, with a B.A. degree in French. He worked as a factory laborer, then earned MBA and MA Degrees from Washington University in St. Louis and went to Taiwan where he continued studies in Chinese and began to work as a freelance writer for business publications. He returned to the United States in 1981, where he worked in banking, consulting, and project finance before returning to journalism in 1988.

Shortly after an article he wrote for the September 1991 issue of Corporate Finance Magazine cited non-public documents, agents from the U.S. Department of the Treasury showed up at the door of his home demanding that he reveal his source. When Millman refused, the Justice Department issued subpoenas for his telephone records and the records of people he had called.

The investigation extended to include the telephone records of the Alicia Patterson Foundation, which awarded Millman a fellowship for 1992.
