What clients say about working with us

Selected outcomes from anonymous clients

Published with client knowledge. Names and identifying details are withheld at client request.

• Freeze

  $5.6M freeze

  Over $5.6 million was frozen on 4 August 2025 in a single investigation, as a direct result of intelligence we shared with a U.S. financial institution. The funds are held by the U.S. Marshals pending a federal forfeiture case.

• Law enforcement

  DOJ civil action

  In early 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil action in federal court arising from a fraud scheme we reported. FBI agents personally credited our work as instrumental in advancing the investigation.

• Law enforcement

  Linked to a federal prosecution

  We matched a company that received a client's wire to one named in a pending federal wire fraud prosecution, and alerted the prosecutor. The prosecutor brought in the FBI case agent the same day.

• Freeze

  Casino cooperation

  We secured cooperation from a billion-dollar casino, banned in the U.S. and with no reason to help, to freeze stolen funds, on the strength of our investigative findings alone, with no court order required.

• Account control

  Account takeover reversed

  Scammers opened an account at a major exchange using stolen ID, holding the client's funds. Our findings led to a rarely granted authorization to take over ownership of the fraudulent account.

• Law enforcement

  Police subpoena from our tracing

  After we traced a client's stolen bitcoin, the local police detective on the case contacted us directly and began working the case with our findings. The detective then issued a subpoena to a U.S. payment app, based on an address we identified.

• Scammers identified

  $800,000 traced to shell companies

  We traced about $800,000 in wires to shell-company accounts at five banks in three countries. The company that received over $400,000 had been formed three weeks before the wire, and the owner of its listed office confirmed it had never been a tenant. The receiving bank's fraud team confirmed it was reviewing the account we flagged.

• Money trail

  Bank records without a court order

  Our findings persuaded a U.S. credit union to tell us, without a court order, where a money mule had sent our client's $38,000 the same day it arrived. The receiving exchange then took action against the mule's account, and the mule agreed to cooperate and handed over his records.

• Money trail

  Traced to a sanctioned network

  In two cases we traced a client's crypto to an exchange that U.S. and U.K. authorities sanctioned for laundering money for a major Southeast Asian scam network. We then filed records requests with the U.S. Treasury, the Justice Department and the U.K. government to find out what was seized and how victims can claim it.

• Money trail

  Linked to a laundering network

  Scammers sent a client's funds through a conversion service to hide the trail. We worked out how the service moves funds, followed the money out the other side, and linked it to Huione, a laundering network serving Southeast Asian scam operations. The scammers' collection wallet had taken in over $800,000 from several victims.

• Evidence secured

  $1M case: records preserved in a day

  In four separate cases, crypto swap services confirmed our trace matched their own orders and agreed within a day to preserve their records for law enforcement, including 19 deposits in one case approaching $1 million.

• Protecting clients

  Scam site takedown

  After a client reported being approached by a fraudulent recovery service, we had the service's websites taken down within hours of being made aware.

• Protecting clients

  Fake rescuers exposed

  We identified the U.S. resident behind the company that received about $75,000 of a client's wires, and reported the receiving accounts to the banks. We also identified nine other victims targeted by the same fake recovery service and warned each of them.
