In a Ponzi scheme, the invested funds are not used to generate profit. Instead, investors' money is used to pay...
Realizing that an investment you expected to grow was part of an international Ponzi scheme is more than a financial setback. Many plaintiffs describe a feeling of disbelief, followed by questions about how the scheme stayed hidden for so long. These operations often rely on layers of offshore companies, shifting money trails, and untrue or misleading statements that mask how they pay early participants with funds from new investors.
Silver Law Group works with victims who want to understand what happened and how they can recover compensation from an international Ponzi scheme. These matters often involve looking beyond the fraudster. Auditors, commercial banks, lawyers, and even publicly traded companies may have played roles by failing to disclose information that would have exposed the scheme. Our Ponzi scheme attorneys handle these cases on contingency fee across the country on behalf of plaintiffs facing losses from these schemes.
International Ponzi schemes can rely on structures that make it difficult for investors to see what is happening behind the scenes. Fraudsters may use foreign jurisdictions, shell companies, or falsified financial statements to create the appearance of profits. Plaintiffs are frequently told that their investments are safe, diversified, or backed by reputable institutions, even though this is untrue. These omissions and false statements can result in large losses once the global investment scheme collapses and can be important evidence for seeking recovery.
Responsibility does not always rest with a single individual. Many Ponzi schemes gain momentum because professionals in positions of oversight failed to act. For example, an auditor may have approved financial statements that did not reflect reality, or a commercial bank may have handled transfers without questioning unusual patterns. Silver Law Group examines these parties carefully to determine whether their conduct contributed to the losses you seek to recover, especially if they were in positions to stop an international investment fraud before it expanded.
The path toward recovery generally involves tracing where the money went, identifying the parties who allowed the scheme to grow, and pursuing litigation in the appropriate District Court. Often, plaintiffs can seek damages from both the fraudster and the third parties who enabled the conduct. Because these investment schemes can cross borders and involve multiple institutions, our experience with complex litigation can play an important part in the compensation recovery process.
