When a wire is stolen or misdirected, the money moves fast — and the systems built to stop it don't move with it. We trace where it actually went, who has it, and whether it's still there, in the window when recovery is still possible. It's the work that gave us our name.
When a fraudulent or hijacked wire goes out, the clock starts. By the time a victim's bank escalates and a report works its way through law enforcement, the money has usually already moved — hop to hop, account to account, often across borders. That gap, the next seventy-two hours, is where recovery is won or lost — and it's where most victims are left on their own.
We trace the money through that gap. Starting from the wire details, we establish where the funds actually landed, who received them, whether they're still sitting there, and — when they've moved — where they went next. The result is an intelligence picture precise enough to act on, fast enough to matter.
We produce the intelligence; recovery happens through the channels built for it. We don't move money or freeze accounts ourselves — a bank or a court does that. Working with our legal relationships, our trace becomes the basis for a freeze, a clawback, or a law-enforcement referral. We locate it and document it so someone with the authority to act can move before it's gone.
The same discipline runs through our broader asset intelligence: locating where a subject banks, what they own, and what's actually collectible behind a judgment — for recovery, enforcement, and due diligence. Whether the money was stolen yesterday or hidden over years, the question is the same: where did it go, and what can be reached?
Follow a stolen or hijacked wire to where it landed, who received it, and where it moved next — in the window when a freeze is still possible.
Establish where funds and subjects actually bank, at home and across borders, and how money is moving between accounts.
Locate and document the funds so that — through established legal channels — a freeze, clawback, or referral can move before the money is gone.
Surface what a subject owns and where — property, accounts, business interests — for recovery, judgment enforcement, and due diligence.
Find assets being concealed, retitled, or shifted to defeat collection, and test a stated financial position against a fuller picture.
When the trail runs on-chain, it carries into multi-chain cryptocurrency tracing toward attributable exchanges — see Cryptocurrency Tracing.

A national real-estate firm wired roughly $2 million in commissions to an account controlled by an intruder who had infiltrated their email and redirected the payment. Their bank wouldn't act; law enforcement couldn't move in time. We traced the funds to the destination account within 24 hours, and — through our legal relationships — the money was frozen before it could move again.
A judgment debtor who presented as having nothing reachable was resolved to active banking relationships and property held through related entities — turning an uncollectable judgment into a live recovery target.
We don't move money or freeze accounts ourselves — a bank or a court does. What we provide is the intelligence that makes recovery possible: where the funds went, who holds them, and the documentation a freeze or clawback requires — produced fast enough to act on and sourced well enough to stand up. Recovery is never guaranteed. But it's impossible without first knowing exactly where the money is, and that is what we deliver.
Not necessarily, but the window is real. Money moves hop to hop, so the sooner we start, the more likely the funds are still somewhere they can be frozen. The next seventy-two hours matter most — if you think a payment was misdirected or stolen, the time to call is now, not after the bank finishes its review.
Banks have a process, but it's built for their liability and their timeline, not your speed. By the time an escalation works through the institution, the funds have often already moved again. We work the trace in parallel, in the window the bank's process can't match.
We don't freeze accounts ourselves — a bank or a court does. What we do is locate and document the funds and, through our legal relationships, put that in front of someone with the authority to freeze them. That's how the $2 million case came back. Recovery is never guaranteed, but it starts with knowing exactly where the money is.
The wire details and the timeline — what was sent, to where, when, and how the redirection happened. The faster we have that, the faster we can establish where the money actually went.
If money was stolen or misdirected, the next 72 hours decide whether it comes back. If it's being hidden behind a judgment, we'll surface it. Either way — send us the details and we'll get started.
