The Standard Hotel has hired a top Hollywood lawyer and is desperately trying to track down the employee who leaked the security footage that showed Solange Knowles attacking Jay Z.
The tape is believed to have been sold to TMZ for $250,000 after a bidding war.
'This was being shopped for five days to the highest bidder,' an unnamed source told The New York Post's Page Six.
The investigation process is ongoing but has been limited to the handful of people who would have had access to the hotel's surveillance footage.
The hotel, which is known for hosting premiere parties and celebrity soirees, is anxious to track down whoever sold the tape because the footage is legally theirs and they do not want to be seen as breaking the trust of their wealthy patrons who crave privacy.
On the hunt: The Standard is a regular venue used for celebrity after parties but that is based on their dedication to their client's privacy

The Standard quickly put out a statement after the release of the tape, which said: 'We are shocked and disappointed that there was a clear breach of our security system and the confidentiality that we count on providing our guests. We are investigating with the utmost urgency the circumstances surrounding the situation and, as is our customary practice, will discipline and prosecute the individuals involved to our fullest capacity.'
