HP Private Investigator Pleads Guilty to Identity Theft
HP Private Investigator Pleads Guilty to Identity Theft
Bryan Wagner takes a fall.
This guy is not even 30...a cautionary tale for P.I.s who put saying "yes" to a client above the client's best interest - and their own...
Wagner's actions were undoubtably pursuant to the request and at the direction of someone. And we'll find out the who, because Wagner seems to be cooperating. Federal prosecutors are not going to settle for busting the chops of some subcontractor when he can give them HP top brass and, perhaps, a few names from Wilson Sonsini too.
Check out the typical great collection of links on the story from The Jurist.
