Re: Financial Fraud Recovery Consultants, Inc. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. How does Financial Fraud Recovery Consultants, Inc. assist lawyers in discovering assets and recovering money for their clients? A. Financial fraud Recovery Consultants, Inc. provides the research and analysis that lawyers need. We understand the inner workings of the financial markets, and how stock and money are moved around in nominee accounts. We have the ability to recognize the clues of a “Pump and Dump”, such as fake analyst reports, insider trading and offshore transactions. An overlooked or misunderstood transaction can be the difference between getting your money back and getting a Judgement that is worthless. If you can't follow the money then you can't get it back. However, if you can follow the trail then you have a fair chance for recovery. Identification of ill-gotten assets provides the impetus one needs to put pressures on the targeted parties to settle the dispute. Without this work, you can end up with a Judgement that is useless. Q. What other benefits are there for accountants, lawyers and licensed investigators to develop a working relationship with Financial Fraud Recovery Consultants? A. The most effective and successful recovery operations utilize expertise from all levels. By being part of a team that pools information and resources, and cross-referencing with other professionals in our industry, we are able to better service our client in a more expeditious and cost effective manner. We reciprocate fees to other professionals for assistance with our cases, as well as for case introduction. Q. I don’t understand. I only talked to one person, the salesman that sold me my investment. Is he the only one that is liable for my damages? A. No. Our research and actual case histories show that in a typical financial fraud or investment scam, there are actually anywhere from eight to fifteen culpable and collectable targets for recovery of your stolen money. Q. I always heard that once someone hides money overseas that you can never get it back. How can you get me my money back if some scam artist sent it to another country? A. Traditionally, asset recovery from foreign jurisdictions has been very difficult if not impossible. However, with the advent of the Anti-Money Laundering legislation contained within the Patriotic Act, as well as the new Securities Fraud legislation that was passed this year, the penalties for not only committing, but simply aiding and abetting these crimes have become staggering. For the first time, foreign individuals, financial institutions, and even sovereign governments now face serious liability for their assistance with hiding ill-gotten gains. The same people and institutions that once helped criminals hide your money will now aid in the repatriation of these assets when properly pressured through the right channels. This is how our team of international accountants, licensed investigators, domestic and foreign banking professionals, offshore money managers, and other individuals earns their money. Q. Is the likelihood of getting my money back dependent upon some foreign banker or their country’s government cooperating in this effort? A. No. Usually the targets for collection are domestic people and companies, whom are more than willing to come to a realistic settlement once the facts are presented.. In most cases the people that took your money are here in the United States. It makes more sense for them to resolve their differences with you than dealing with the potential legal ramifications of their fraud once it is exposed. Q. How do I tell if I’ve been defrauded? I’ve known my financial professional for years, and although he may not be the best stock picker, I know he’s not a crook. A. In many cases your financial professional may not be a party to the fraud or even know it occurred. Many brokers are honest and have no idea that there is any fraudulent activity going on with your investment. Often the fraud rests with the insiders, corporate officers, analysts or stock promoters, and may be so complicated and sophisticated that it goes on undetected for years. There are, however, many "red flags" contained within SEC filings, press releases, security transfer sheets, financial statements and other documents too numerous to mention. When carefully researched by our staff these flags can determine if you have been wronged, and can help form a paper trail that can lead to the culpable parties and the return of your money. Q. Do I have to hire my own lawyer, or can you help me find an attorney that specializes in this type of work? Will I pay more by hiring both a lawyer and yourselves? A. For clients in need of counsel, we offer assistance in hiring a lawyer. We have access to the top legal experts in this field. We can incorporate an allowance for legal fees in our retainer and contingency fee structure, and thereby offer a substantial reduction in expenses due to the network of attorneys that we are associated with. We are also equipped to provide assistance to counsel you have retained outside of our network. Either way, by allowing us to streamline your case and make it “lawyer-friendly”, the potential savings for our clients can be substantial. ----- Financial Fraud Recovery Consultants, Inc., (“consultant”) hereby acknowledges that while some of their associates or referrals may be licensed private investigators or attorneys, the consultant is not licensed to conduct investigative work or practice law, and is not advertising or soliciting to do such work.
