Investigation Forms 2003-2026

A couple things would ensue if you just walked into a bank ready to deposit $1 million into your account.First, the teller would probably need a couple seconds to realize you legit just brought a million bucks to a bank. Second, after he/she got themselves together and stopped dreaming about all the things they could do with all that money, their suspicion level would go way, way up. Normal businessmen or rich people don't usually just deposit a whole million into their account. Most people with that much money on hand have separate banks, so you already look like a guilty amateur.However, if you provide a reasonable explanation on why you have so much money and why you want to deposit it in the bank, 9/10 times (granted you plan on doing this 10 times) the banker will just laugh while he/she deposits the money, and when you leave the bank will file a suspicion report to the U.S. Treasury. From there, the treasurey will ever so silently start tracking your every dollar and see where it goes to. Now that your money is under 24/7 surveillance, any illegal transaction will result in a manhunt to have you tracked down and arrested, and then the FBI/Treasury would seize the money from the bank. BUT, if it's all LEGAL money that you saved since you were a wee-boy up to where you are now, and simply just feel like depositing the entire million into your account, that's 100% fine and nothing will occur other than a raised eyebrow.However, there is the slight chance that the banker/teller decides not to allow the deposit. Two things will happen here:1. They will call the police. Then the police will literally arrest the money, not you but actually the money, until you can prove the money is yours. While this is not common protocol in any means, it can happen.2. The teller or banker will simply "delay" the deposit until a "higher-up" can verify it being legit. From a former high-end bank teller:"I have personally been delayed awaiting manager approval for (non-cash) transactions in the 200K range -- on such occasions, the teller used a particular subtle phrasing which seemed to connote 'This is not an illegal or questionable transaction, it's okay for you (manager) to approve.'"You see, the bank only really gets suspicious if you aren't paying in cash. If you pay such a high amount through check and it bounces, the bank very well could go bankrupt.So if you want to deposit a million bucks, to avoid most suspicion, deposit in CASH, make sure you have documentation proving its your cash and you obtained it legally (i.e. taxes are documented as paid, etc.) and you aren't wearing torn pants and a dirty shirt when you go to make the deposit.In conclusion, the most likely thing to happen is just some raised eyebrows and a report the Treasury ... If you look the part and pay with cash. But really, everything stated above could happen.

I was working as a Systems Engineer for a major computer company (3-letter name) and our marketing team had sold a very expensive mainframe computer to an oil refinery. The “MIS Manager” at that plant was someone wholly unqualified for the job, lacking even basic computing skills, and with zero understanding of how computers work in the first place. A few weeks after the installation, I received a call from him, telling me their computer was broken, and that I had to get it fixed immediately. Repeated attempts to get him to tell me what was wrong got me nowhere, so I drove the 60 miles to the refinery to figure out what was wrong.Upon arriving at the plant, I was ushered into the General Manager’s office, where the MIS Manager actually accused us (the 3-letter major computer company) of intentionally sabotaging the performance of the computer so that he (the customer) would have to buy a larger computer to get the work done. I learned that the computer itself was fine, but one of their programs was taking roughly 14 hours to print out a shipping label. This did seem to be totally unacceptable performance, but his claims that the computer was broken were clearly bogus.Maintaining my professionalism, I asked if I could view the program in question – the one that printed the labels. He loudly proclaimed that the program could not possibly be the issue, because they had hired someone away from NASA to do the programming, and had paid him over $100,000 for the program. Therefore, the problem had to be the computer itself. Eventually, the GM ordered the MIS guy to give me a couple of hours access to the software, after which we would re-convene the meeting in the GM’s office to hear my assessment.The application was actually a good bit more involved than just printing labels. It was printing hazardous materials handling instructions (several pages long) for HazMat shipments originating from the plant. This involved various database lookups to obtain the ingredients, their chemical formulae, and finally the handling instructions each for those components. The application itself was written in a very high-level scripting language (REXX, for those of you who know what that is), which I found very surprising, since this type of application would typically be written in a compiled language of some kind, for performance reasons. Then, after looking at the code for only a few minutes, I realized the programmer who wrote it knew very little about programming in general, or about mainframe programming in particular. (I eventually learned that the “NASA contractor” was not actually a computer programmer when he worked there – he was actually a project manager.)After a half-hour reviewing the code, I spent the next 1.5 hours re-writing it, removing obvious performance bottlenecks, and then we tested it. My “quick hack” version took 90 seconds to print a label (vs 14 hours previously). At the follow-up meeting in the GM’s office, I explained what I had done, demonstrated the performance improvement, and stated that I was still extremely dissatisfied with the performance, but it would take more than a 2-hour quick and dirty re-write of the existing code to truly optimize it. The GM was blown away by the results, and was clearly looking at his MIS Manager in a new light.PS - After returning to our office, another gentleman and I re-wrote the application in PL/1 (a compiled language used by the customer’s IT group), and the time to print a label went to under 3 seconds. That’s the version I delivered back to them, with the explanation that a really good programmer could probably achieve even better performance, but this was the best I could do without charging them for the service. The GM was quite happy with the results, whereas the MIS Manager was still claiming that we had rigged the computer to perform poorly so they would have to upgrade to a bigger, more expensive model.By the way, the next time I visited the refinery, the GM introduced me to their new MIS Manager…

It happens, but not all that often. I work with professionals and executives who are rarely in any kind of trouble with the law, but it does happen from time to time. The failures that I run across are usually in the form of dishonesty when writing a resume — omitting a short-term job that didn’t work out, claiming a college degree that wasn’t earned, inflating accomplishments, or claiming someone else’s accomplishments as their own, or covering employment gaps with “consulting” work (OK, fine. Give me references from a few of your clients). It’s just way too easy to check these things, and there are lots of third-party reference checking firms that are really, really good at it.There have been a couple of times when someone who claimed to be a member of Mensa turned out not to have ever been a member at all. It was pretty easy to check since all I have to do is check the member directory, then ask the person to explain why he wasn’t listed there. One even tried to tell me that he “was asked to join” (no, Mensa doesn’t do that), and he “turned them down”.Criminal records, and even driving records, are also sometimes important. One of the strangest was a candidate who was about to be offered a six-figure position that would include a lot of travel and would require the use of a company vehicle. He didn’t think it was important to mention losing his driver’s license due to several DUIs. An he also didn’t think it was important to tell me that his “current” job had ended with his firing several months earlier due to — you guessed it — being involved in a serious accident driving a company vehicle while intoxicated, driving without a license, and leaving the scene of an accident. Sorry. No offer for you.Now and then we see a credit check derail a promising candidate. Whenever access to company funds is a part of the job, it’s important to not have a lot of charge-offs and court judgements on your record. Some otherwise really good candidates have been shot down over just that kind of thing.When it comes to background checks, just remember that honesty is the best policy. Employers can sometimes forgive a mistake or two, but they won’t forgive you trying to lie. If you’re not honest with them from the start, how can they ever trust you on the job?

Thank you for asking.As I am not a member of the appropriate legal/accounting/investigative teams, any opinion I offered as to "seriousness" would be not helpful.There are four possible outcomes as to how same may impact the election:1) Nothing is released prior to election day2) A scathingly bad outcome prior to election day3) A "neutral/wishy-washy (a la "email scandal")" outcome prior to election day4) A "non-event" outcome75% odds that the impact is neutral or positive.25% odds that the outcome may impact some undecided voters come election day.Best wishes.

“What are some ways to trick people into giving you their name?”As I licensed private investigator, these are some things I have actually done, that have worked:1. Invite them to fill out a sweepstakes form.2. Follow them somewhere and claim they have to show I.D. in order to legitimately get in or stay.3. “I think I have in my possession something valuable that you lost. What is your name? I cannot say what the lost item is until I have your name. But I believe it belongs to you.” (After they reveal their name, you can always say, “Oh, sorry! That’s not the name.”)4. Ask them to sign a petition. (Go up to them with a petition for a good cause, ready to sign; make sure other names are already on the petition.)5. “I think I went to high school with you. What is your name?”6. “I think we used to work together. What is your name?”7. Excuse for how it is spelled, like “The desk clerk told me to ask you . . . “8. Tell them you want to swap business cards with them. Present yours first.9. (The easiest) “Hey dude! What is your name?” (just kidding on that one!) :)

Even before the series of embarrassing incidents that have since come to light in the news, the morale in the U.S. Secret Service agent corps was very low.  The management rarely led by example;  Supervisors were authorized to stand post, to assist with protection assignments and conduct investigations... They never would.  In addition, the bureaucratic paperwork was overwhelming;  form after form after form was expected to be filled out for the most mundane things.... I had a fellow agent who printed up the "TPS Cover Sheet" PDF Form that he found online (the one popularized in the film "Office Space") and would turn it in with every document that was required.  That's what it felt like... Documents that were sent in were required to have three, sometimes four, copies.  If you had receipts for something, those were required to be taped down onto a clean piece of paper individually, and then have additional copies made.... You can imagine how long this would take when an agent who was out on the road for two or three weeks during the campaign (which was a very normal rotation) had returned with three straight weeks of hours worked.....  Keep in mind, agents weren't billing by the hour;  they were already paid.  This was just monotonous documentation to see how many hours were being used in an agents life.  Ultimately, that information would go to management and they would use it to squeeze more work time out of an already-exhausted employee.  After Colombia, the agency started to "crack down".  More paperwork, more documentation.  Agents I know have told me that the agency has since started an "Office of Integrity" to police employees who are staying out too late on a road trip or filling out their paperwork improperly.... So you can add "paranoia" to the other issues, I suppose.

This is going to vary by state. Florida, for instance, has one of the nation's toughest public records laws. FS 119 and the state's constitution presume everything is public record unless a statutory exception exists. A demand for production of police records is made to the custodian of those records, defined as anyone in possession. An exception can be claimed for an "open" case. Police, however, can be required to demonstrate the existence of "an ongoing investigation which is continuing with a reasonable, good faith anticipation of securing an arrest or prosecution in the foreseeable future." Section 119.011(3)(d)2. Referencing Rick Bruno's answer, in Florida there are no "requests" for public records. They are demands for production. And if a cop happens to have that record in his desk drawer, it's mine. No written form is required. Demands may be made verbally, and most often are. Police may not ask your name or question your purpose  for demanding the record. It's fair to say cops aren't all that fond of the law as contained in FS 119. But that's what it is. The law. Under Florida's statutory definition of "ongoing investigation," police would likely have a difficult time convincing a judge that "a reasonable, good faith anticipation of securing an arrest or prosecution in the foreseeable future" suddenly exists in a murder case that has otherwise languished for five years. Which doesn't mean they won't try. Before making your demand for production, research your state's open records laws. Know where you stand, what the law requires and allows, and all available remedies.
