Jeffrey Lloyd Grayson (May 4, 1942 - November 27, 2009) was an American businessman and criminal. A native of Oregon, he co-founded and later served as Chief executive officer (CEO) of Capital Consultants. Grayson made legally questionable loans to Wilshire Credit Corporation and its CEO Andrew Wiederhorn. Grayson was convicted of mail fraud along with his son Barclay Grayson.

Early life Jeffrey Grayson was born on May 4, 1942, in Salem, Oregon. He and his twin sister Janet were born to N. Philip and Blossom Grayson, though the parents divorced in the 1950s.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued the company and Grayson in September 2000. On September 21, 2000, the district court placed CCL into receivership and appointed appellee Thomas F. Lennon as receiver. A judge later removed Grayson from control of the company, and federal prosecutors filed a charges for 22 separate counts in October 2001.
