Crypto scams, wire fraud, investment schemes, bank and payment fraud — we investigate where your funds went and pursue recovery when possible. If recovery is not realistic, qualifying U.S. taxpayers may have another option through the federal tax code (Section 165).
100% Confidential · No Obligation · We do not guarantee recovery or tax outcomes.
If your funds can still be traced, we follow the money across wallets, exchanges and banks, identify where it went, and build the evidence needed to pursue recovery.
If recovery is no longer realistic, qualifying U.S. taxpayers may be able to pursue a theft-loss deduction under Section 165. We document what happened and provide an evidence-backed report designed to help your tax professional evaluate that option.
Section 165 theft-loss deductions apply only in qualifying cases and depend on your specific facts. We are not a law firm or a registered tax preparer. Our report is built to support your own tax professional's evaluation, not to replace it.

Fights for plain English in every sentence we publish."I had no idea if my money was gone forever. Same-day video call, no judgment, and within hours they showed me exactly where it went — I finally knew what I was dealing with."
"We went from panic to a plan in three business days: a full law-enforcement report, our bank engaged, and a clear recovery strategy."
"One day I was staring at an empty wallet. Days later I had a trace map, named exchanges, and an honest answer about what could be done."
"I thought I'd just have to eat the loss. They traced the wire, then walked me through both recovery and the Section 165 tax path."
"First I was confused, then I was informed. They proved the recovery map before I paid a cent — that's when I knew they were real."
"Our team felt humiliated. They treated it as serious fraud, documented everything, and gave our insurer what it needed."
"I was ashamed to even say it out loud. They listened, found the trail, and turned my worst month into a clear set of options."
"I wanted the truth, not a sales pitch. They traced the wallets and told me my real odds — then delivered on exactly what they promised."
"From 'I don't understand what happened' to a filed, documented case with a real investigator behind it."
"Recovery wasn't realistic, and they said so honestly. The documentation they built let my accountant pursue Section 165 — I still got value back."
"No surprises, no false promises. I saw the recovery map first, paid after, and knew what I was buying at every step."
"I got funds back — and when the scammers circled again, the work they'd already done meant I knew exactly how to shut it down."

We assess your case honestly to determine the right path forward. If your funds are traceable, we pursue recovery. If recovery is unlikely, we help document the loss and explore whether you may qualify for tax relief under Section 165. Either way, you get a clear, confidential answer — and a realistic next step.

Most of the people we help are individuals and families who lost money they worked hard for. You don’t need to know exactly what kind of fraud occurred before contacting us. Tell us what happened. We’ll help you understand what can be investigated and what options may still be available.
A site or app showed your balance growing — then withdrawals stopped, or you were asked to pay “fees” to get your money out.
Someone you trusted online guided you into sending money or buying crypto over weeks or months.
A stranger built a relationship with you over time, then introduced an “investment” that drained your savings.
You were pressured or tricked into sending a payment, and your bank told you the money is gone.
You clicked a link, approved a transaction, or shared a recovery phrase and your wallet emptied.
You were shown a “flash” Bitcoin transfer that looked real on screen, then vanished from the blockchain once you had paid.
A “trading group,” advisor, or platform promised managed stock returns — then the account froze or the withdrawals never came.
A “broker,” support agent, or recovery expert got access to your account or convinced you to move funds.
You paid to unlock earnings, complete tasks, or claim a prize that never arrived.

We trace the funds and establish what the evidence shows.

"I was shaking when I called. A stranger I trusted online had drained my savings through a fake investment app. Lionsgate got on a video call with me that same day, traced where my money went in what felt like seconds, and only asked for payment after they proved there was a real recovery path."
"Our company lost a six-figure wire to a business email compromise. We needed evidence fast. Lionsgate delivered a full law-enforcement-ready report in three business days and worked with our bank, insurer, and counsel to pursue recovery."
"I got my money back — and that wasn't even the best part. The scammers tried to come after me again. Because Lionsgate had already mapped everything, I knew exactly how to push back and protect myself. It saved me far more than I ever lost."
"A fake app drained my wallet in minutes. Within days they showed me exactly where it went and what could realistically be done. No false promises, just a clear recovery map and honest answers."
"When recovery wasn't possible, they documented everything so my accountant could pursue the Section 165 path. That documentation alone was worth more than I expected."
"Lionsgate helped me understand what happened, fought to recover my funds, and when that wasn't possible, gave me the documentation I needed to get a tax write-off. I finally feel like I can move forward."
We'll help you understand your options — whether that's pursuing recovery or documenting the loss for a possible Section 165 theft-loss deduction.
