Kenney, Becker, discerns the place and manner of holding of the "fructus sceleris" (the fruits of fraud) and seeks extraordinary, preemptive relief to, in part, (i) freeze assets that are hidden behind offshore protection devices and (ii) search for and seize evidence in jurisdictions favored by aberrant transactors.
