Industrial Espionage
| The quest for the "truth", be it what
your staff say about you, whom you are about to deal with,
the identity of a wife's lover (especially with the fear of
catching Aids) or details of the private life or a prospective
employee, keeps private eyes in demand. The desire to hear
the conversations is too great for many. All manner of bugs
can be bought and installed, from a small $25 lithium battery
dot listening device that can be casually and inconspicuously
stuck to a desk or chair up to systems worth thousands of
dollars hidden in overhead light fittings. All of a sudden
Australian companies are terrified of being bugged. They want
their offices to be debugged regularly, just like politicians'
offices.
The expert, immaculately groomed Monte pulls a thick wad of $50 and $100 notes out of his brief case, amounting to $7,000 for the sale of a listening device to a managing director ("about 55 and a very rich man") who is "paranoid" about the closed-door meetings his partners are constantly holding. "I told him it wasn't necessary," Monte says, "but he has to know the game." The danger with bugged conversations, Monte warns, is that it is not necessarily he truth after all. It could be a setup or there may be another conversation that cancels out the one that has been overheard. Although it is illegal to bug someone, it is not illegal to sell listening devices. This makes it hard to choose a private investigator. It is not like selecting an accountant. It is part of the course of business to ask acquaintances the identity of their accountant or lawyer, but a private investigator is altogether a different ball game.
