Guilt by association???
I had a report recently where we went to confirm employment. When searching for company contact information, I realized that my subject had worked at two of the same companies at the same time as a fraudster. The fraudster had worked at one company, then went on to found his own firm in the 1980s. In the early 1980s, he was indicted. At the time he was out of the country and never came back.
There was no connection to my subject, other than they worked at the same seemingly small company, and then my subject went on to work at the company that the fraudster had started. He also appears to have worked at this company during the time that the fraudster committed the crimes that the US Govt accused him of.
I had a hard time deciding how to report that information. Ultimately I decided that the best thing to do was to provide details on the criminal activity and simply report that my subject had worked at the same companies during the same time as the fraudster.
