Financial fraud hides in the gaps between accounts, entities, and people. A financial fraud investigation closes those gaps — reconstructing how money actually moved and where it landed, so a hunch becomes a documented, defensible case rather than an accusation you cannot prove.
What financial fraud do we investigate?
- Embezzlement & misappropriation — diverted funds, ghost payees, and skimming schemes
- Hidden & concealed assets — in divorce, judgment enforcement, and partnership disputes
- Investment & Ponzi fraud — deals that were never what investors were told
- Business & partner fraud — self-dealing, diverted opportunities, and cooked books
- Fund-flow & source-of-money analysis — mapping transfers across accounts and entities
How do you trace assets without breaking the law?
Lawful asset tracing relies on public and open sources: real-property and UCC filings, corporate ownership and business records, court judgments, and open-source financial intelligence. What we do not do — because it is illegal under the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and California law — is pretext banks for protected account records. Working under California BSIS PI License No. 190161, we keep every step admissible, which is exactly what makes the findings usable when it counts.
Can you support litigation and law enforcement?
Yes. We coordinate with forensic accountants and counsel, preserve digital evidence with chain of custody, and package findings for civil recovery or referral. Where fraud runs through devices, email, or crypto, our licensed investigator can also testify as a computer-forensics expert witness. If your case belongs in front of federal authorities, complaints can be filed through the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov.
