Jason Blair is a CPA who has been asked to serve as an expert witness in a civil case involving theft of employee secrets. His client, Rexmem, has filed suit against its for¬mer IT director, alleging that the former employee stole proprietary information relat¬ing to Rexmem's products, product strategies, and marketing plans and conveyed the stolen information to her new employer.

Rexmem intends to make its case by showing that the former IT director had access to the information in question. Furthermore, as soon as the IT director started working for her new employer, the employer began announcing new products that were identi¬cal to products that Rexmem had been planning to announce.
