Where the Paper Trail Ends - Secret Weapon of Forensic Accountants, Consultants and others who need public record research to excel at their projects

"You hear people talk about the smell test or sixth sense or “after so many searches, I just know.” The truth is, you don’t. You just get better at figuring out accuracy, authority, legitimacy." managerisks.net/new-blog/2023/…

This was a fun and interesting read! Lots of great information. Thanks for the shoutout too!


The spark for this post came via ace investigator @MasonInvSol He wrote about data hierarchy. What makes the post even more valuable was that it drew in some disagreement. A commentator wrote, “I respectfully disagree with your take on OSINT…” managerisks.net/new-blog/2023/…

One time, a private investigator was looking for reverse-image tools on a discussion list. I answered citing three tools including Yandex. I was chastised and dismissed because Yandex is Russian. Today I'm at a conference full of #OSINT experts and looky here.

It’s not the legal writing that stood out to me

The new Complaint in Twitter v. Wachtell = a great example of how complaints look more like briefs these days. Persuasive headings, bold for emphasis, enumerating themes or points and not just paragraphs, etc. #legalwriting int.nyt.com/data/documentt…

Your phone isn't the enemy, your usage habits are. Your meals aren't the issue, your choices and portions are. Your surroundings aren't troublesome, your reactions to them are. The power to change is in your hands, not in anybody else's.



Amazing what you can do with public records

New database shows 1,500 lobbyists working for fossil-fuel firms while representing green groups. "It’s incredible that this has gone under the radar for so long, as these lobbyists help the fossil fuel industry wield extraordinary power." @guardiannews theguardian.com/us-news/2023/j…

‘Double agents’: fossil-fuel lobbyists work for US groups trying to fight climate crisis

Exclusive: new database shows 1,500 US lobbyists working for fossil-fuel firms while representing universities and green groups



This is a great lesson. Of course it’s also one that works better on paper than in reality

3. Your failures are successful: The person who failed the most and succeeded once is more valuable than the person who never failed but also never succeeded. The more failures you have, the more desirable lessons you have that people want.



How come nobody told me PACER was taking an extended summer holiday this weekend?
