    Unless the OP's friend frequently changes email service providers, then you might be able to go back further by checking PayPal transaction emails.

    That's a great point regarding PayPal. I've just checked my own emails and PayPal emails are there.

    Just asked the bank and they do go back further than 7 years.  Only the online statements are 7 years.  I asked how far back they go, but they didn't seem to know.  "15 years" was mentioned, but I think he just randomly said that number.
