Internet Fraud and Asset Recovery: The Economics of Pursuit

Recovering funds lost to internet fraud is an intensive and high-stakes undertaking. While we understand the devastation caused by financial loss, the reality of international asset recovery is that the costs of pursuit often determine whether a matter is economically viable.

Is Your Internet Fraud Matter a Fit?

Please consider the following before contacting our intake team:

1. Do your verified, out-of-pocket losses exceed $500,000?

2. Are you prepared to pay a $3,500 upfront flat fee for a recovery feasibility assessment?

3. Are you prepared for the potential costs associated with engaging foreign counsel if funds have been transferred overseas?

If you answered “no” to any of the above, we are unlikely to be able to accept your matter at this time. Please scroll to the bottom of this page for Resources for Smaller Losses.

Our Case Acceptance Criteria

Internet fraud matters almost always require cross-border investigation, forensic accounting, and coordination with foreign counsel. For this reason, our firm rarely accepts fraud matters involving out-of-pocket losses of less than $500,000. For losses below this threshold, legal and investigative costs will typically render pursuit impractical.

Initial Investigation and Feasibility Assessment

Before any decision regarding representation is made, we require a $3,500 upfront flat fee for a limited-scope preliminary feasibility assessment. This assessment is intended to evaluate, among other factors:

• Whether there is a reasonable and cost-justified path to recovering funds

• Whether funds may be traceable through blockchain analysis or international banking systems

• The likely location of funds and the legal mechanisms available for potential restraint or recovery

This fee applies solely to the preliminary assessment and does not constitute an agreement to represent you in litigation or recovery proceedings.

Why Internet Fraud Matters Require a High Financial Threshold

Our minimum loss threshold reflects the realities of modern internet fraud:

• Stolen funds are often transferred through multiple jurisdictions within hours or days

• Effective recovery efforts frequently depend on immediate court orders, which may require retaining counsel in foreign jurisdictions

• Navigating international financial institutions and regulatory compliance requirements demands substantial legal resources and documentation

Resources for Losses Under $500,000

If your loss does not meet our firm’s threshold, you may wish to consider the following steps:

• File a report with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov.

• File a report with the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

• Contact your local law enforcement agency to create an official record, which may be required for insurance, banking, or tax purposes.

Please note that our firm does not provide free consultations, case evaluations, or attorney referrals for internet fraud matters involving losses below $500,000.
