Wire Fraud: An Emerging Field for Litigation Support Specialist Services



These days, a growing percentage of banking is done electronically. With the advent of the smartphone came new and exciting ways for people to keep track of their personal and business finances. As technology evolves, however, the opportunity for wire fraud grows. Wire fraud is becoming just as sophisticated as the banking technology it exploits, and since it is always changing, it can be extremely difficult to explain to a jury of people who probably aren’t familiar with this type of malicious technology.

In order to prove that wire fraud occurred, it takes someone who is well-versed in bank and credit statements and displays the attention to detail that can easily point out and explain any discrepancies. A litigation support specialist who knows how banking works can analyze a bank’s documents and, using experience and knowledge gained in the field, can explain why or why not the questionable transactions are legal. If the specialist sees something out of the ordinary that might not be initially apparent to the layperson, he or she can explain to the jury where the inconsistencies are and how they may indicate fraudulent wire transactions.

As people grow more and more dependent on state-of-the-art technology to perform banking tasks, banks need to be held accountable whenever the threat of wire fraud is accountable. Sound testimony from a litigation support specialist will absolutely help.
