Proving Business Partner's Embezzling

I was in business with another individual who controlled all the finances. He has since claimed bankruptcy and the business went under. Looking back on bank statements, I see credit card deposits in small amounts, which seem very strange, since most deposits would normally be large, uneven amounts. How do I trace back where these deposits were generated from if I have no information on the credit card vendor? I only have an abbreviation of MVNT. My feeling is he was splitting deposits into another bank account not associated with our company.

You can ask the bank that accepted the deposits about the sources, the items themselves, if there are any images of them, or if they can have a forensic financial examination done. The first and last will likely bring an expense to you, so it may depend on how much you're willing to pay. You might also confront your ex-partner.
