The Fifth HOPE (2004),
July 10, 2004, 3 p.m.
(60 minutes).
Steve has been at every one of our conferences and each time he's outdone himself with tales and demonstrations on how much data is stored on each and every last one of us. We all hear the news reports about how government and industry want to expand their databases and share all kinds of information. We hear how people try to protect their privacy and how various organizations attempt to quash the legislation that would broaden these databases. But what we don't hear is how much of our info is already out there and how much of it is being shared between law enforcement, private industry, and many more. Steve will share some of his vast knowledge on the subject and leave you feeling terrified and helpless. And as a special treat, a selected "victim" will learn firsthand just how much personal data can be uncovered on them.

as Steve Rambam
Steven Rambam is a licensed private investigator and the owner and CEO of Pallorium, Inc., an investigative agency with offices and affiliates throughout the world. During the past 23 years, he has conducted and coordinated investigations in more than 50 countries and in nearly every U.S. state and Canadian province. For the past 13 years, he has also been the owner and director of PallTech, an online service which provides database and investigative support services to investigative agencies, special investigative units (SIUs), and law enforcement. PallTech offers interactive and non-interactive access to nearly 600 data sources, including five major proprietary databases such as Skiptrace America and BusinessFinder America. The Skiptrace America database, which currently contains more than 5.3 billion unique records, is believed to be the largest individual reference database in the United States, excluding those databases maintained by the three U.S. credit bureaus. More than a decade ago Rambam forced the tightening of airport security in Texas airports by publicly exposing those airports' security flaws. In 1997 he exposed the presence in Canada of 162 Nazi war criminals and also conducted investigations which resulted in the prosecution and conviction of war criminals on murder charges. He is also the inspiration for "Rambam the detective" in Kinky Friedman's series of murder mysteries.
