A multi-entity, multi-national investigation of a pyramid scheme involving several hundred investors’ investments in fraudulent investment products. 

Project Description

Douglas Wilson Companies (DWC), agent for the Receiver, was tasked with collecting, liquidating and distributing assets to the investors.

Scope of Work

DWC conducted a comprehensive forensic investigation to trace funds and assist individual investors in recovering their investment. DWC collected multiple bank, accounting and finance records from investors and defendants in order to recreate accurate records to reconcile funds. The project’s legal complexity required DWC to coordinate with several U.S. government agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Customs, as well as several non-U.S. governments including the Philippines, England, and France.  Finally, DWC prepared a reconciliation of investor balances, then developed and implemented a communication plan to serve investors. 

Project Resolution

After completing the forensic investigation, DWC was able to collect and distribute recovered funds to investors.
