Case Studies
Cyber Harassment
Our Client began to receive disparaging/threatening texts, phone calls and emails to their place of employment. The sender of the communications knew details about our client professionally and intimate details about our client’s personal life. The client feared that the sender was a member of their inner circle with access to the client’s home and family. The client requested G-TAC identify and isolate the individual.
G-TAC conducted an in-depth assessment of all communications to include texts, social media messages and emails. We also conducted a targeted sweep of our client’s Social Media “friends”, in an attempt to identify the sender, as we assessed the sender to be “friends” with our client within the realm of social media. G-TAC cyber analysts traced the IP address of the sender and attempted to track the sender’s email address.
G-TAC tracked the origin of the email to a specific location and cross referenced that specific profile with known associates of the client. The client confirmed one of the addresses as belonging to an associate. Armed with this information our client was able to remove this individual from their inner circle.
Background Investigation
Our Client has an estate that exceeds $100 million. Our client had structured their succession plan around a specific child. The trusted child was unmarried with one adult child, who was self-sufficient. As our client neared retirement and was in the early execution stages of their succession plan, the trusted child notified our client that they were engaged to be married to an unknown entity. Not only was our client unnerved by the thought of marriage after a brief courtship, the threat of a financial predator was real and could have catastrophic consequences. Our client requested G-TAC complete an in-depth background check and conduct thorough surveillance on the outsider.
G-TAC assigned its analytical team to conduct the in-depth background check. (G-TAC has state certified Private Investigators on staff) G-TAC deployed a team to the trusted child’s resident city and conducted on-ground surveillance and established sustained contact with the “outsider”.
G-TAC determined that the “outsider” was a career felon, living under the assumed identity of a childhood friend (who had died ). G-TAC provided the client with a mug shot, criminal history and true identity.
The G-TAC Field Unit conducted on-ground surveillance and were able to provide in-depth assessment of the trusted child/outsider relationship and report on daily activities of the “outsider”. We confirmed that the “outsider” was driving without a license, a drug abuser and was unemployed. G-TAC also assessed that there seemed to be a relatively normal relationship between trusted child and “outsider”.
We provided the client with a long term threat assessment of the risk the “outsider” posed to the client and their family.
Wedding Assignment
G-TAC provided an armed guard to accompany our client everywhere. We successfully located, tracked and established rapport with the individuals most likely to pose a threat to our client.
G-TAC assessed an attempt to assault and or rob our client was likely. Using proven tradecraft and proprietary techniques, we created an environment where the criminal element felt unsteady and unfocused. More importantly, G-TAC’s professionalism and presence muted any and all attempts to harm or manipulate the client.
Strategic Communication/Crisis Management Services
Client needed to address allegations of conflict of interest and possible misuse of public resources. G-TAC formulated a strategy to counter negative press, control the narrative, and maintain current client base. Moreover, we advised the client of potential future allegations and areas where they were vulnerable based on associations with individuals under criminal indictment. Our efforts enabled the client to provide plausible answers to difficult questions.
