My second call was to David, a fraud investigations colleague at the company where I worked.

I explained that I was personally involved.

He arranged for the matter to be referred through the appropriate title review process rather than treating it as an ordinary file I could access because I worked there.

My own role would be to supply records and answer questions.

I would not supervise the investigation of my family.

That was uncomfortable.

It was also necessary.

David could help identify public records and coordinate with the authorized review staff.
