Six fraud categories.
One methodology.

Fraudulent exchanges, fake ICOs, rug-pulls, pig-butchering romance-to-crypto schemes. We trace funds on-chain to the exchange of arrival and escalate through platform compliance, banking partners and law enforcement.

• On-chain forensics. Wallet clustering, exchange attribution, and mixer de-anonymization.
• Platform escalation. Direct engagement with exchange compliance teams to freeze and recover.
• Law-enforcement liaison. Case files prepared to evidentiary standard for FBI, IC3, Europol IPCR.
• Civil recovery. Mareva injunctions, Norwich Pharmacal orders, Bankers Trust disclosure.

Unlicensed brokers, manipulated trading platforms, blocked withdrawals, bonus-trap contracts. Highest recovery rates in the industry via card-scheme chargeback and regulator routes.

• Chargeback representment. Visa/Mastercard dispute claims framed to scheme rules, not brokerage PR.
• Regulator complaints. CySEC, FCA, ASIC, BaFin, CONSOB — proper filings that get acted on.
• Bank-level recovery. Direct engagement with acquirer banks for unrecoverable card payments.
• Counterparty identification. Beneficial-owner tracing behind shell brands and nominees.

Ponzi schemes, unregistered securities, high-yield investment programmes. Victims often share a recoverable pool — our work is as much about early positioning in the creditor queue as it is about tracing.

• Insolvency representation. Proof-of-claim filings in liquidation and bankruptcy proceedings.
• Class coordination. Victim-group formation to pool evidence and legal costs.
• Clawback recovery. Pursuit of winners and insiders paid out before the collapse.
• Asset tracing. Real-estate, yachts, offshore trusts — attached and liquidated.

Authorised-push-payment fraud, SIM-swap, account takeover, impersonation. We engage your bank under the CRM code, PSD2 liability rules and the Contingent Reimbursement Model — with the right escalation path.

• CRM-code claims. Bank reimbursement for authorised-push-payment victims in the UK and EU.
• Recall & Indemnity. SWIFT recall pursuit on international wires.
• Ombudsman & regulator. FOS (UK), FSMA, PSR escalation where banks refuse.
• Liability audit. Negligence claims where the bank ignored red flags.

Long-running impersonation, sentimental extortion, "pig-butchering" pipelines. Discreet, sensitive representation — most of our romance cases end in crypto or forex, so tracing spans multiple rails.

• Privacy-first intake. All documentation handled under privilege; no public filings by default.
• Multi-rail tracing. Card → bank → crypto → exchange, end to end.
• Psychological harm evidence. Prepared to evidentiary standard for civil claims.
• Platform takedowns. Dating-app and social-media evidence preservation.

Title fraud, wire-transfer diversion at closing, escrow compromise, holiday-let scams. The clock is tight — once funds leave escrow, tracing must start within days, not weeks.

• Emergency wire recall. SWIFT MT192/MT196 recall within the 72h window where possible.
• Title restoration. Civil action and registry correction on forged-deed cases.
• Escrow audit. Professional-liability claims against compromised law firms and agents.
• Cross-border seizure. Mareva and Anton Piller orders to freeze assets abroad.
