Mine was walking into the client's site. This was many years ago. They had Novell Server issues, that's how long ago this was.

I walked in, cops everywhere. Man in a suit waves an FBI badge at me and asks why I'm there. I explained the ongoing work and he said, "Not today" and forced me off the premises.

The next day I was called back by the client to "rebuild their network". When I got there, every single piece of hardware that contained anything remotely like storage had been disassembled and the drives imaged, then just left in pieces. lol

I spent that day rebuilding it all, did get the Novell server working again.

A week later, they were closed forever and I believe the owner and CFO got nailed for healthcare fraud.

I was asked to testify in a deposition. My stuff was pretty basic and mostly what I knew about how they used the tech. What I saw around there and if I saw any big red signs declaring FRAUD COMMITTED HERE!
