Today, Mr. Hennenhoefer says, he can do things like scan through thousands of emails in a matter of milliseconds to help find funds. In one recent case, he searched the email of his client’s husband, looking for the name of the husband’s girlfriend. The hard drive was on a computer in the house that was not password protected, which made the resultant data admissible, Mr. Hennenhoefer says.
The search turned up a note detailing the transfer of $100,000 to a Swiss bank account for the girlfriend’s benefit. “He thought we’d never find it,” says Mr. Hennenhoefer.
