Subject Locate: Scheme to Defraud E-Newsletter Article
Just recently, three individuals – with seemingly no professional profiles – formed an international business consulting group and targeted a very profitable company to defraud.
While meeting with the shareholders over a period of months, the three fraudsters were able to obtain proprietary financial data under the ruse of using this data to entice venture capital groups to invest in the company.
Instead, the confidential data and financial privileges granted were used to detrimentally affect transactions within and outside of the company, and the monetary losses from this fraud exceeded eight figures.
TIN was hired to conduct a subject locate investigation to find these individuals.
