The investigators traced the money to a Florida company, and with these details in hand the accountants unearthed a complex scheme of fraudulent shares, options and warrants issues that had effectively moved control of the company into the hands of the wrong doers behind the Florida corporation. Further spade work revealed that the mastermind behind the scheme was a high profile felon who had been notorious in the previous decade for a major scam and had spent time in jail on that case. When his links to insiders at our clients company were confirmed, a series of lawsuits were considered, including one against the auditors who appeared to have turned a blind eye to the scheme. As the strength of our case became clear the matter was settled to the satisfaction of our client and the mastermind was forced to abandon the spoils and seeks greener pastures elsewhere.
