COVID-19 will continue to disrupt the global economy. Fraud and other types of financial crimes are expected to spike – and a broader base of dishonest taxpayers are expected to attempt to evade taxes at alarming rates. This means Revenue Agents and CID Special Agents who investigate criminal tax, money laundering, public corruption, cyber, ID theft, narcotics, terrorist-financing, and Bank Secrecy Act related crime will be busier than ever.
In a 2019 interview with IRS-CI’s Director of Operations, Policy and Support, Kathy Enstrom, we found a quote that continues to inspire the work Pipl does in context with helping law enforcement investigate general public information.
“A computer cannot compare to the mind and experience of an IRS-CI financial investigator, and we rely on that more than the algorithm results.”
While high performance identity resolution algorithms are at the core of our business, we couldn’t agree more with the suggestion that there is nothing like the highly trained human eye and mind when it comes to getting to the bottom of things.
As one of the largest sources of public identity information, Pipl is hyper-focused on how information about people’s family, friends, co-workers, employees, business associates among others can be legally and ethically obtained to acquire evidence in the event of tax evasion or tax fraud.
