From InformationWeek:
Federal investigators executed a search warrant at Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)’s Mountain View, Calif., offices earlier this month as part of an investigation into a high-priced call girl ring similar to the one used by former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
Court records show that that an Internal Revenue Service agent carried out the search order at Building 4 of Microsoft’s Mountain View campus on March 4.
The investigator, IRS special agent Anthony Romero, was seeking the Microsoft Hotmail account records of a woman accused of involvement in a pricey escort service operating out of Denver, Colo. Records show that Romero seized from Microsoft more than 3,000 files of “preserved data” from the account of Kitty_Crimson@hotmail.com.
