    the cost of satisfying a legal discovery order
    using nothing but backup tapes faces potentially
    major costs

    availability access to emails when as disaster
    occurs. No need to restore back-up tapes.

What If You Dont Comply?
  • Ronald Perelman sued Morgan Stanley
  • Morgan Stanley did not uncover fraud at appliance
    maker Sunbeam.
  • Because Morgan Stanley did not provide to the
    court emails that it was ordered to produce, the
    judge in the case told the jury that Morgan
    Stanleys failure to produce the emails was an
    act of bad faith
  • Perelman won a 1.7 billion judgment.
  • Further, in February 2006, the SEC fined Morgan
    Stanley 15 million because of their inability to
    produce the required emails in this case.

13
What If You Dont Comply?
  • In March of 2004, Bank of America was fined 10
    million by the SEC for failure to
  • a) continue to retain email records regarding a
    recent merger and
  • b) for taking too long to comply with regulatory
    requests.
  • The SEC charged that Bank of America misled
    regulators and took too long to produce evidence
    in an investigation of improper trading by
    employees at its securities brokerage.
  • The bank complained that it would be too much
    work to produce certain archived emails
  • It took the bank nearly two years to produce all
    of the emails

14
What If You Dont Comply?
  • In December 2002, Salomon Smith Barney, Morgan
    Stanley, Piper Jaffrey Hopwood, Deutsche Bank
    and Goldman Sachs were fined a total of 8.25
    million
  • Failure to adhere to SEC Rule 17a-4 which
    requires broker-dealers to preserve electronic
    data on non-rewritable, non-erasable storage.

15
Important Facts to Know About Email
  • Email constitutes a written communication that
    carries the same formality and weight of a
    certified letter
  • Email is increasingly included in legal discovery
    orders. Courts are increasingly finding that
    email contains valuable content that can be of
    value in legal discovery proceedings
  • Deleted email is never completely deleted
  • Deleting email on a regular basis is no guarantee
    an organization will not be held liable for
    producing email

    storing data by backing it up, removing it from
    its native environment, and storing it elsewhere

    e-mail retention or archival strategy
