Governmental authorities employ link charts to discover associations or patterns in voluminous data. Depending on the kind of investigation, a governmental authority may use a link chart to analyze: telephone toll records, medical prescriptions, cash deposits, border crossings, etc. Software with link charting features can even be used to help a government search for and forfeit illicit assets. GoAML/goATR is asset tracking software with this charting ability and it is mentioned at “Asset Forfeiture Goes Global.”
