Vertigrate Forensics Helps Widow Close Land Deal

2012-04-19T13:14:57Z

Often Vertigrate’s forensics work focuses on proving that “evil” exists somewhere on a suspect’s computer; usually in the form of intellectual property theft, improper Internet and/or email usage, or malicious file manipulation. In this case, however, Vertigrate used its forensics expertise to aid a new widow close a land deal that her recently departed attorney husband was putting together. The widow’s husband had identified an interested buyer on behalf of his client, but had yet to disclose the buyer to the seller or the terms the buyer was willing offer before he passed. By forensically imaging the departed husband’s computer, Vertigrate identified a large cache of email stored in a proprietary format. Vertigrate searched this cache with various keywords provided by the widow. Using the results of these keyword searches led Vertigrate to ultimately identify the interested party. The deal closed in early 2012 for an undisclosed amount.
