Boy, email is one cheap detective!
Anyway, that seems the full scoop.

********** end excerpt from 'Corruption at Salomon Brothers' **********
Notice my 'Boy, email is one cheap detective!' observation; Legal had talked
about hiring a private investigator prior to that.
The "perp" not only named his new job, he gave his full job description,
pay rates, and his personal thoughts on matters.
The case was accepted by NYC Assistant US Prosecutor Jeremy Temkin - the
person assigned the Citibank wire-transfer theft. He said they never figured
out who the inside person was.
The interesting thing was that it turns out the people who investigate for the
US attorneys are FBI agents. Every meeting we had included a couple FBI agents
taking notes and turns questioning.
The nice FBI personnel I dealt with were from the New York Computer Crime
Squad. Special Agents Steven N. Garfinkel and David P. Marziliano.
This posting isn't about the many good FBI and other law enforcement people.
Sorry.
The other FBI case involved transfer of Salomon technology to the ISP account
of an employee who had accepted another job, but hadn't yet notified Salomon.

* "In addition to providing increased driver license security, the new
* license system will help insure more efficient and reliable customer
* service," said Col. L.N. Hagan, DPS director. The new system offers
* faster production of the license as applicants receive them within one
* week, rather than three to four weeks required by the current system.

* The new system also features simplicity of operation at work stations
* and enhanced on-line help for probate judge/license commissioner issuing

Digitized signatures? I've started signed 'X' for UPS, since they'll post
your signature to the Internet.
Well, at least there's no biometric information!
