Former FBI Computer Scientist Creates Unique Tool for Litigators — Timestream
After 9/11, Teddy Lindsey decided to leave the private sector to join the FBI as a Computer Scientist, where he was trained as an investigator and deployed in the field. During his career in the Bureau, Teddy worked on a wide range of cases and operations including computer intrusions, drug trafficking, international intelligence, and counterterrorism operations. He distinguished himself and was recognized with a number of commendations, including the FBI Director's Award for Excellence and the DEA Administrator's Award. His last investigation to go to trial before he left the FBI resulted in a conviction on all counts and the longest sentence in U.S. history for a hacking (18 USC § 1030) case.
During Teddy's tenure with the FBI, he became increasingly frustrated with the cumbersome and antiquated case management and presentation protocols he was forced to navigate to do his job. Like many attorneys, he frequently found himself swamped with trivial, low-tech tasks that took valuable time away from case analysis. In addition, there were no tools available that organized and presented his data in the storyline fashion best suited to litigation. He knew there had to be a better way.
Two years after leaving the Bureau, Teddy set out to create that better way. As VP of Research and Development at Ntrepid Corporation, he had the engineers and resources to create the solution he had envisioned. Thus, Timestream was born.
