Case Example
Investigations Concerning Property Ownership in Thailand
Pontus Ventures Advisory Group assisted the client in investigating a case involving compromised email security and transaction fraud. The client's email account was compromised in Hong Kong; subsequently, the perpetrators hacked into the account and instructed the accountant to transfer funds to Thailand. This incident appeared to be an impeccable crime.
Nevertheless, bank records revealed a Thailand address in the transaction note. Pontus Ventures Advisory Group successfully conducted an inquiry and ascertained the ownership of that address. It was established that the address belonged to the beneficiary of the Thailand bank account. Our investigators collaborated with the Royal Thai Police, leading to the successful identification and apprehension of the offender. The funds were subsequently frozen in a Thai bank account and recovered by our client following our investigation.
Our private investigations team, headquartered in Hong Kong, utilized our network of sources in Thailand to execute an impeccable investigation on-site.
Investigate and locate an Indonesian fraudster in Hong Kong
A client of Pontus Ventures Advisory Group entered into an investment agreement with a Hong Kong-based company with the aim of entering Indonesia's electricity power sector. The directors and shareholders of this Hong Kong company are residents of Hong Kong but are Indonesian nationals. After one year, the client transferred funds to this Hong Kong company; however, there has been no progress in entering the Indonesian market. Additionally, the client has been unable to establish contact with this Hong Kong company; his 'good friend' associated with the company has disappeared.
Pontus Ventures Advisory Group commenced a thorough investigation into this Hong Kong company, which has since dissolved its directorial and shareholder roles. The investigation revealed that the Indonesian suspect involved maintained over 20 companies registered in Hong Kong and eight in Singapore. Furthermore, this individual possesses numerous legal records, including multiple lawsuits related to financial disputes. The findings strongly indicate that this suspect is a seasoned fraudster.
Following a comprehensive investigation and information gathering, we conducted a surveillance operation and successfully apprehended the individual. The incident was further marked by the notable expression of embarrassment on his face when our client confronted him in person.
Assets Investigations in Hong Kong
A client of Pontus Ventures Advisory Group engaged our services to conduct an asset investigation concerning an individual in Hong Kong. The subject of the investigation borrowed ten million US dollars from the client three years prior and was expected to repay the loan several months ago. However, the individual has consistently utilized various justifications to delay repayment, including recent cash flow difficulties, the loss of properties in Macau due to gambling, and other reasons.
Initially, we conducted a comprehensive investigation into the individual's assets in Hong Kong, including properties, companies, vehicles, boats, and other holdings. Subsequently, we examined his credit relations with banking institutions. The records obtained indicate that his asset portfolio is comparatively limited.
Furthermore, we investigated the assets registered in his wife's and children's names. The findings reveal that he transferred ownership of properties and funds to his wife and children approximately one year ago, ostensibly to evade repayment obligations.
Additionally, an investigation into litigation records uncovered that several other parties are pursuing him for the repayment of the loan. It appears that the individual devised a scheme to borrow funds from trusted friends with the apparent intention to abscond.
