Case Study: Husband Hiding Assets and Private Investigator Finding Assets
)
Hidden assets are a common problem in both divorce and investment cases. Spouses may try to hide assets to avoid dividing them during a divorce, and investors may be defrauded by companies that are hiding their true financial condition.
Jane and John were married for 20+ years before deciding to get a divorce. Jane suspected that John was hiding assets from her, so she hired a private investigator to investigate.
The private investigator began by conducting a public record search. He found that John owned several properties in his name, but he also found that John had transferred ownership of one of his properties to a shell company. A shell company is a company that has no real business operations or assets. It is typically created for the purpose of hiding the identity of the beneficial owner or to engage in illegal activities.
The private investigator then conducted a financial statement analysis and found that John had been making large deposits into offshore accounts to a country that have lax regulations and secrecy laws.
The private investigator also interviewed witnesses and family members. He learned that John had been bragging about his hidden assets to his friends. He also learned that John had been meeting with a financial advisor to discuss how to hide his assets from Jane.
The private investigator gathered all of this evidence and presented it to Jane. Jane then used this evidence in her divorce case to negotiate a more favorable settlement.
