 	The FBI will not take the case unless you can provide concrete 
evidence that your customer suffered more than $10,000 in losses due to 
the intrusion.  Failing that, there's nothing the FBI will do unless your 
customer is very well-connected politically.

 	I recommend using this this incident as an object lesson in 
developing and implementing policies and procedures for intrusion 
forensics for your customer.  That way, when (not if) the day comes that 
you qualify to haul in the FBI, the evidence chain will be unassailable.
