Corporate shell company investigation

Trace ownership, director history, and financial filings for suspected shell companies. Identify shared directors, registered agent patterns, and beneficial ownership across multiple entities.

Look up the UK Companies House and US Delaware registry records for these 4 entities. I suspect they are part of a layered ownership structure. Pull all directors past and present, shareholders, and cross-reference any shared individuals.

Cross-reference complete. Entities 1, 2, and 4 share Director A (resigned same day across all three in 2022). Entity 3 has Director B who is current director of Entity 1. All four use same registered agent in Delaware. Entity 2 has PSC filing showing an offshore holding company as beneficial owner. Ownership diagram generated.

Digital evidence and social media investigation

Research publicly available social media content, profile data, and digital footprints relevant to an investigation. Build timelines from public posts and identify connections between persons of interest.

Pull public profile data and recent posts for these 3 Instagram accounts linked to a fraud investigation. I need follower counts, bio information, posting location patterns, and any tagged accounts in posts.

Profile 1: 2.3K followers, business listed as "luxury travel consultant," 34 posts in past 3 months — location tags in Dubai, Monaco, Miami (consistent with funds movement timeline). Frequently tagged by Profile 2. Profile 3: private but bio lists same email domain as suspected fraudulent business. Full post archive and metadata extracted.

Legal standards and admissibility research

Research case law on warrantless searches, digital evidence admissibility, informant testimony, and evidence handling requirements. Ensure investigation procedures meet evidentiary standards before prosecution.

What is the current legal standard for obtaining social media account content through legal process? What do courts require for a search warrant versus a subpoena for private messages on Facebook and Instagram?

Under Carpenter v. US (2018) and subsequent decisions: private message content requires a warrant (probable cause). Subscriber information (name, IP, email) accessible via 18 USC 2703(d) order or subpoena (lower standard). Courts have diverged on whether stored vs real-time communications differ. Key cases: United States v. Warshak (6th Cir), In re Search of Information (DDC). Recent decisions tightening warrant specificity requirements noted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What public records can people search access?

People Search aggregates publicly available information from email, username, name, and phone number searches — including social media profiles, professional history, public court records mentions, and business registrations. The deep_search mode crosses multiple databases for the most comprehensive profile.

How does IP geolocation help in investigations?

IP Geolocation converts IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to location data including city, region, country, ISP, and ASN. Critically for investigations, it identifies whether an IP is associated with a VPN, proxy, or Tor exit node — which can indicate deliberate obfuscation of location in online criminal activity.

Can company lookup trace offshore entities?

Company Lookup covers UK Companies House, US state registries, and EU registries. For offshore jurisdictions (BVI, Cayman, Panama), coverage depends on available public data — PSC beneficial ownership filings in the UK and EU increasingly reveal offshore connections that were previously opaque.

Is social media research admissible as evidence?

Publicly available social media content gathered through open-source intelligence methods is generally admissible when properly documented. The key requirements are establishing authenticity of the content and its source. For private account content, appropriate legal process (warrant or legal hold) must be followed through the platform.

Which compliance databases cover Interpol notices?

Compliance Screening includes Interpol Red and Blue Notice data alongside OFAC, EU, UN, and other international sanctions and watchlists. This makes it useful for cross-border investigations where suspects may have international criminal designations or be known to other law enforcement agencies.
