Hank Asher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hank Asher (born c. 1955) is a millionaire businessman and the founder of several companies that retrieve huge amounts of electronic information about individuals. In 2003, he was hired by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to help them identify potential terrorists. This has been highly controversial, largely because of Asher's alleged past links to drug smuggling.
In 1992, Asher founded Database Technologies, which later merged with ChoicePoint. In 1999, he founded Seisint, Inc. by merging two companies. Seisint was later sold to Anglo-Dutch publishing giant Reed Elsevier, which owns LexisNexis.
