The FBI will pay for and take over more than 100 boxes of documents that Tampa-based Creative Recycling Systems abandoned in a storage facility as part of the e-waste recycler's chapter 7 bankruptcy case, the Tampa Bay Business Journal reported yesterday. In a bankruptcy court hearing yesterday, attorney Terri Thomas from Fisher & Sauls, representing storage company Stevens & Stevens Inc., said that the FBI subpoenaed the documents on Friday. Bankruptcy Judge K. Rodney May authorized Thomas, on behalf of the storage company, to release the documents to the FBI. An earlier filing by Michael Markham, the attorney representing Creative Recycling's bankruptcy trustee, indicated sensitive documents abandoned by the company at the storage facility could be of use to "governmental agencies with open investigations of the debtors."
