Return to Case Studies

Corporations have unique security and investigative needs. The following summaries are examples of how we have helped companies protect and defend assets.

CASE STUDY#1
A corporate client was in the process of selling their chain of convenience stores to a father and son investment group from another state. The client had accepted a check for $500,000.00 opened on a new account. The client had already allowed the group to take over the operations of the stores. Several weeks had passed without the check clearing. Client proceeded to contact an attorney who retained our services. Immediately our investigators conducted a comprehensive background search of the investment group. Our findings revealed that the father and son team had ran several scams in some southern states and had reestablished themselves in the Midwest. The findings were reported to the attorney and our investigators proceeded to coordinate with local law enforcement and the states attorney office to conduct a raid on the corporate offices and to apprehend the principals. Our team established around the clock surveillance to ensure that no company assets were being removed and helped coordinate the raid on the group. After the successful raid was conducted it was ascertained that the group had already been in negotiations to liquidate the entire company as soon as the client left for an extended vacation. The client was able to save his chain of stores and recover his losses from the father and son as well as testify in their criminal proceedings.

CASE STUDY #2
A financial institution had a corporate client that had filed bankruptcy. The financial institution was concerned that numerous items of equipment totaling over $100,000.00 were unaccounted for. The financial institution retained our services and we proceeded to conduct an in depth investigation into the background of the subject as well as their company. Our team of investigators discovered that the subject had disbursed different items of equipment in three different states in an attempt to hide them from his creditors. We were able to locate and recover all the equipment for the financial institution.

CASE STUDY #3
A financial institution had contacted our office to ascertain information on a potential business client that had recently applied for a business loan for several millions of dollars. The president of the financial institution had indicated that they were suspicious and wanted to have us verify the applicant’s background. A comprehensive background check revealed that the applicant had three other social security numbers associated with their name as well as fourteen other civil judgments from another state. By being diligent the financial institution was able to avoid a potential costly loan.
