The next day, his cell phone went off. With just a few clicks of his office computer, he pulled up the video.
There was his wife and another man "making whoopie" on the couple's bed, Myers said.
The husband copied the feed and sent it off to his attorney, who drew up the divorce papers. The video saved the man millions in alimony, he later told Myers.
"I'd much rather have given it to him for free and taken a percentage of his savings," Myers said.
Bender spent the last few weeks on assignment for a prominent Florida-based distribution company.
The owner called him in because of a recurring problem with a 70-gallon diesel tractor trailer. It would leave the facility at night with a full tank, and return just three-quarters full-despite only a handful of miles difference on the odometer. At $4.20 or so a gallon, diesel is a valuable commodity, and the owner didn't like getting ripped off. So, he brought in Bender to sort out who was stealing from the company, and who was buying the stolen fuel.
