Investment Fraud Recovery
Victims of investment fraud — Ponzi schemes, fake trading platforms, fraudulent brokers, and misappropriated portfolios — turn to us to trace where the money went, identify who benefited, and coordinate recovery strategies.
What is investment fraud recovery?
Investment fraud recovery involves tracing funds that were solicited under false pretenses for purported investment opportunities. The fraudster typically dissipates the money through shell companies, personal accounts, and further schemes. Recovery requires tracing the dissipation and linking it to identifiable beneficiaries.
How we help
- 01Tracing misappropriated investment funds through shell entities
- 02Identifying beneficial owners behind fraudulent investment platforms
- 03Uncovering hidden assets dissipated from investor capital
- 04Evidence collection for civil fraud and breach of contract claims
- 05Coordination with forensic accountants and legal counsel
What can realistically be done
Recovery is realistic when the misappropriated funds can be traced to identifiable assets — bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, or other holdings — in a jurisdiction that permits civil or criminal recovery. HUMINT operations can uncover concealed assets and beneficial ownership that financial records do not reveal. Where the fraudster has dissipated all funds on personal expenditure, recovery depends on locating remaining assets or pursuing third-party recipients. We provide an honest assessment of whether identifiable assets exist before recommending engagement.
Evidence required
The stronger the evidence package, the more precise the investigation. Gather what you can before contacting us.
- 01Investment agreements, contracts, or offering documents
- 02Proof of all payments made (bank transfers, wire confirmations, receipts)
- 03Account statements or platform screenshots showing purported balances
- 04Communications with the fraudster (emails, messages, call records)
- 05Corporate registration details of the investment vehicle
- 06Names of individuals who solicited or managed the investment
Typical obstacles
Every case faces friction. Understanding the obstacles upfront sets realistic expectations for what recovery can achieve.
- —Funds dissipated on personal expenditure with no remaining assets
- —Complex shell company structures across multiple jurisdictions
- —Fraudsters operating under false or stolen identities
- —Statute of limitations expiring on older frauds
- —Co-investors or other victims competing for the same assets
- —Funds moved to jurisdictions with strong asset protection laws

Frequently asked questions
What counts as investment fraud?
Ponzi schemes, fake trading platforms, misrepresentation of investment products, unauthorized trading, and any case where funds were solicited under false pretenses for purported investment opportunities.
Can lost investment funds be recovered?
Recovery depends on whether the funds can be traced to identifiable assets and a jurisdiction permitting lawful action. We provide a feasibility assessment before engagement. No recovery is guaranteed.
How is investment fraud recovery different from a lawsuit?
We provide the intelligence — tracing funds and identifying beneficiaries — that strengthens legal action. We work alongside law firms; we do not replace legal representation.
We offer a confidential case assessment — not a guaranteed recovery promise. Regulators including the FCA and FTC warn consumers about services that guarantee recovery, demand unexplained upfront fees, or impersonate authorities. We charge only on actual recovery.
