The Digital Shell Game
The theft of company funds

The auditor for a major corporation discovered some questionable loans made by the CFO and decided to dig deeper. It was determined that $10,000,000 in loans could not be clearly accounted for.

To complicate the matter, as soon as the investigation began the CFO, who was originally from another country, went missing and couldn’t be located. The auditor was able to confirm the deposit of the money into the account of what appeared to be a shell corporation, but the trail went cold there.

Forensics Consulting Solutions was asked to forensically analyze two computers used by the CFO to seek any additional information that might confirm the complicity of the CFO and shed light on the possible whereabouts of the funds.

The detailed analysis by our forensics consultants yielded electronic evidence substantiating that the CFO had indeed created the shell corporation and had transferred the embezzled funds through it to a bank account in a Greece. The evidence gathered helped the company freeze the funds in the Greek Bank and convinced authorities to bring criminal charges against the missing CFO.
