Recovery of Funds from MLM and Ponzi Schemes

Case Background

In 2024, Ms. Z (pseudonym) was introduced by a friend to join an investment project called "Global Wealth Mutual Aid Plan." The project promised that with just a $20,000 investment, monthly returns of 20% could be achieved, and additional bonuses could be earned by inviting others to join. Within just a few months, Ms. Z not only invested her own funds but also persuaded friends and family to invest, accumulating over $150,000 in total investments.

However, in June 2024, the project suddenly shut down, the website became inaccessible, and the project managers went missing. When Ms. Z realized she had been scammed, she was extremely anxious and didn't know how to recover her funds. Through a friend's recommendation, she found the Global Anti-Fraud Organization.

Our Intervention and Recovery Process

Fraud Pattern Analysis

Our financial crime experts quickly analyzed the project's operational model and confirmed it was a typical Ponzi scheme, with funds flowing through a pyramid structure and money laundering through digital currencies and offshore accounts.

Fund Tracking

Through blockchain analysis technology, we discovered that Ms. Z's investment funds had been transferred to multiple cryptocurrency wallets and cashed out in batches through offshore company accounts. We immediately submitted investigation reports to Interpol and financial regulatory agencies, applying for fund freezing.

Law Enforcement Cooperation and Legal Action

We collaborated with Europol and Southeast Asian law enforcement agencies to confirm that the project's masterminds were located in Dubai and Southeast Asia, and assisted police in issuing international arrest warrants.

Our multinational legal team filed lawsuits in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai, applying to freeze the fraud syndicate's assets.

Through cooperation with overseas banks and exchanges, we successfully intercepted some funds that had not yet been withdrawn.

Successful Fund Recovery

After 5 months of international law enforcement and legal proceedings, we successfully recovered $127,000 for Ms. Z, with the remaining funds still under pursuit.

Client Testimonial

Ms. Z emotionally stated:

"When I realized I had been scammed, it felt like my whole world had collapsed. It wasn't just the money, but also the trust of friends and family that was affected. Thank you to the Global Anti-Fraud Organization team - their professionalism and efficiency gave me hope again. They not only recovered most of my funds but also helped me understand how Ponzi schemes operate. I hope more people can see my experience and avoid becoming the next victim!"

We will continue to provide victims with professional services including cross-border rights protection, fund tracking, and legal proceedings, ensuring that fraudsters have nowhere to hide and justice is served!
