An American woman living overseas was contemplating divorce and wanted us to find out how much her husband was worth. His assets were spread internationally. We were able to conclude that he was worth at least double what his wife had suspected, based on U.S. securities filings and other public records.

Part of our findings included a share in a home previously unknown to the wife, as well as activity in an offshore corporation that had dealings with a publicly listed U.S. company.

Finally, we found that the husband had been the defendant in a recent law suit, and we were in a position to interview the plaintiff for information about the husband’s business practices, associates and other assets.
