LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES 

An investigation to determine whether Lucent Technologies inflated inventory, revealed that the company was choking its parking lots with empty trailers to present the appearance of a flourishing business.  A witness indicated that the warehouse parking lot was so full of trailers that the fire chief ordered Lucent to move them out because it created a fire code violation.

BANK DEBITS

In a consumer class action alleging that banks inappropriately reversed the order of customer debits from highest to lowest to maximize the number of overdrafts, a witness explained that a consulting firm devised the practice and took a cut of the fees. This type of evidence is critical to building cases to protect consumers from overreaching by financial institutions.
