22. Key Pieces Of Evidence
Sometimes what's in the trash is a breakthrough in some important cases. For example, a discarded laptop found among other rubbish belongs to former Goldman Sachs trader Fabrice Tourre.
The laptop is what prosecutors need for their lawsuits against Tourre. It contains confidential emails and other information related to the controversial mortgage sale. He also calls himself Fab Fab great in emails. Because of this discovery, Tourre was convicted of mortgage fraud. Goldman Sachs was sued and eventually settled $ 550 million.
