Paper Trail Detective Agency

The paper trail is on the case!
It's going to solve this thing itself 
if anybody takes a look.

It all links up like spiderwebs
in sticky sells and buys and deals
through bank accounts, too many
cooks of books. Short order or 
gourmet, the paper trail spots recipes 
by wire transfer traceries of frauds
and steals and faked-death bankruptcies.

It's mostly digital these days.
The paper trail has sidekicks staunch
for all the blips to dot and cross
and index crooked searches launched.

They've just about got this case solved.
It all depends on hunches, now. Some 
stupid human has to look, and say

"Hm, hey 

that's all a bit too perfect. Wow."
