If you knew him, the guy code would obligate you to erase everything to save his face, but if you don't, just hand it back without saying anything, it's not really your bussiness.

Put some real sick shit on there too. It'll make that divorce go real quick.

Yeah. Tell the boss what's on it, and let her decide whether her cousin should know about it, or not. If she asks you to remove the nasty stuff, do that. You were asked for a favour, not to make decisions in place of people you don't know or save their feelings.

Sure, your boss will be faced with the same doubts, but at least she's her cousin...

> Yeah. Tell the boss what's on it, and let her decide whether her cousin

I would just leave to "there seems to be some nasty stuff in there", without going into details - just to show that you've respected the privacy. If she asks what you mean, "well there was some files on the desktop" (or something of the sort).

If she asks you to investigate, then you can pretend to go back into it and come the next day. If not, she may say she doesn't want to know and have you wipe out everything.

In both cases, you have your hands clean. You don't want the guy's lawyer accusing you of planting evidence.

I'd give it back, intact, and tell her. If the fuck was already cheating enough to get tossed out, it's added ammo to teach the fuck some manners with divorce court takes more than 1/2 his value for the cheating alone.

I'll just follow the mob.
