Counterfeit, retail-theft, and cargo rings all hide behind something fake — a shell company, a churn of storefronts, a fake pickup order and a stolen ID. We pivot to what they can't fake — a physical address, a freight record, a truck's own location signal — and reconcile it back into the operator, the sites, and the network behind them.
It starts with knowing who's really there. Our sister company, Cyber Investigation Services, runs the only crime-intelligence platform of its kind — detecting organized retail crime, counterfeit, and cargo-theft resale on Amazon at 99% accuracy. It identifies who the sellers actually are, how they keep selling after the platform flags them, the IP infringements, and the inventory behind them — and it reads coordinated, organized groups selling in concert, the structure that's hardest to see one listing at a time.
That detection is where we begin. We take the operator CIS has identified and break apart the operation behind them — but not by chasing the fake. A counterfeit seller's company is a shell; a cargo crew arrives with fake paperwork; an ORC fence hides behind disposable storefronts. We pivot to what they can't fake — the physical address, the freight records, the truck's own location signal — and reconcile it back into the warehouses, the distribution moving in and out, the seller's real activity, and the people running it.
The platform does the discovery, the scoring, and the reconciliation — surfacing the shared-control links, the concealment, and the contradictions no person could hold in their head at once. The authoritative records that confirm a principal are pulled by a licensed investigator and fed back in. Software finds the threads; a licensed agency pulls the ones that have to be pulled.
Detection tells you who, and how. We tell you where, and who's in charge — a mapped operator network with the warehouse or transfer site, the named principals, and the documented trail behind each, built to hand to a task force, an SIU team, or a prosecutor.
The seller's company is a shell. We pivot to the warehouse address, resolve the occupant and the freight moving through it, and surface the operator behind the storefronts.
Disposable storefronts hide the fence. We triage sellers by harm and organization, resolve the operator through liquidation and brand-registry trails, and map the network back to the warehouse.
Fake pickup orders and stolen IDs stall the case — but the trucks' own signals don't lie. We geofence them through the theft window, follow them to the unload and transfer sites, and trace them back to the drivers' homes.
Resolve who really occupies a site — the entity, its officers, and the freight that moves through it — even when the named operator appears nowhere on paper.
Index every identifier — address, officer, phone, freight — and separate shared control from mere coincidence, surfacing concealment and contradiction across the whole operation.
A claimed warehouse can pass every paper check and still be a mailbox at a strip plaza. We verify the physical site — signage, loading docks — before any address is called operational.
Names redacted, methodology preserved.
Fake pickup orders and stolen IDs had left investigators at a dead end. Geofencing the trucks through the theft window, following them to the unload and transfer points, tracing the signals back to the drivers' homes, and deep-diving the drivers unwound an organized crew operating up and down the East Coast.
A flagged marketplace seller's own company returned nothing. Resolving the occupant entity at its declared warehouse surfaced a different importer carrying a real overseas supply trail — one that shared an officer and a registered agent with the seller. Seller and importer were two faces of one operator.
A gray-market operator moved more than 160 brands with no direct imports and a shell LLC. A brand's authorized-seller registry exposed the address he'd disclosed to get listed; pulling every shipment that arrived there surfaced the fulfillment node he was built never to reveal.
The output is a mapped operator network — the warehouse or transfer site, the named principals, the storefronts or loads, and the documented trail behind each — with a subpoena and records-target list to act on. Every claim is tagged to the strength of its evidence, every exhibit is hashed, and the authoritative records that name a principal are pulled by a licensed investigator, not scraped. It's built to evidentiary discipline for expert review and subpoena targeting — sourced and calibrated so it holds when it's challenged.
Bring us the storefront, the load, the address, or the dead-end paperwork. We'll come back with where the operation actually lives — and who's running it.
