Case Study 10
Diligence conducted a year-long international inquiry into the counterfeiting, diversion and distribution of a major consumable product. The project included targeted investigations of illegal distributors, obtaining usable evidence in cooperation with U.S. and local law enforcement, and conducting strategic and link analysis of various distribution networks. Our methodology included an Internet buy program active across the United States, purchasing from international websites, interviews, background checks, evidence screening, database management and surveillances. Diligence also established an on-going monitoring program to watch for new trends and identify potential new “hot spots." The client was thus able to avoid revenue loss and serious reputational damage.
