USD 1 Million Recovery for Elderly Client

The Challenge

A 75-year-old client approached us after suspecting their wealth management company had been systematically defrauding them over several years. The client had trusted their advisor completely, giving them full discretion over investment decisions. By the time the client grew suspicious, the trail of transactions was complex and the advisor had created elaborate documentation to cover their tracks.

Our Approach

• 1Obtained and analyzed 5 years of account statements, trade confirmations, and fee disclosures
• 2Built a comprehensive transaction timeline mapping every movement of funds
• 3Identified unauthorized trades, excessive churning, and hidden fee structures
• 4Cross-referenced advisor's claims against actual market data and trade execution prices
• 5Reconstructed what the portfolio should have been worth under proper management
• 6Prepared court-admissible evidence package with complete chain of custody

The Outcome

• Full USD 1 million recovered through successful legal action
• Evidence package led to regulatory action against the wealth management firm
• Uncovered 7 years of systematic fraud against the client
