    When the FBI seized several of his cell phones in April 2021 in a now-closed investigation, much of Giuliani’s electronic records were held on a database operated by a company called Trustpoint.One. But they were archived, and running searches on files the company held for more recent litigation isn’t cheap. Even  hosting his records with the company costs $20,000 a month, according to a recent court filing.

    No sympathy at all to the drunk fool, but why is it so expensive?

      The price is set at what the market will bear, and they’re a “Cadillac” service (e.g. aimed at high-income, white-glove-style clientele) per their “About Us” page

      In his case it doesn’t seem like the best choice.

        And often it’s the same as the regular version, except issues get bumped in priority and maybe a extra tech support person.

          And your manager freaks out when one of them calls and demands anything. I used to work in a vaguely similar support role, though probably with fewer zeros attached.
