The ring of the phone at her Laguna Beach house, near Los Angeles, woke Denise DeMan-Williams at 7:30 on the Saturday of the July 4th long weekend in 2003. It was her lawyer, telling her that five policemen from East Whiteland Township, Pa. had just raided the home of one of her employees, Dr. John Goldener. The cops searched for four hours and left with armfuls of documents, electronic equipment and CDs. DeMan-Williams, who runs a personnel recruiting firm, Bench International Search, out of Beverly Hills, was shocked and angered at the news of the police raid, but assumed it was nothing more than a thuggish tactic from a courthouse opponent. Goldener was being sued by his former employer, James Young, owner of Young International Group in Malvern, Pa. Young accused him of steal- ing trade secrets by downloading client contact lists from the company's computer network. Goldener had long maintained that he had taken nothing with him when he left. DeMan-Williams believed him.
