Ponzi schemes and fake investments
Ponzi schemes promise fixed returns and bonuses for bringing in new members, then payments stop. We analyse the scheme and the flows to support victims' actions.
Ponzi schemes: why they seem to work.
In the first months the returns really do arrive: that is what convinces people to reinvest and to involve friends and family. The project is often presented as mining, automated trading, staking or AI-powered "arbitrage".
We analyse the platform, contracts, wallets and money flows and prepare documentation that can also support coordinated action by several victims, together with Studio Legale Gioviale & Partners.
Ponzi schemes: the signs to watch for.
Ponzi schemes have existed for over a century, but today they use modern language: mining, AI-driven automated trading, staking or “arbitrage” between exchanges. However, the mechanism does not change, because earlier investors are paid with new investors' money. When new money slows down, the system collapses.
So be wary of fixed, guaranteed returns, of bonuses for recruiting friends and family and of businesses that cannot be checked. Also, pay attention when withdrawals become slow or come with new conditions. Before investing, always check the warnings published by the Consob and by your own regulator.
If you are caught up in one of these Ponzi schemes, we can trace the flows and collect data from several victims for joint action. Also read about crypto platforms that block withdrawals and unlicensed trading brokers.

A complete path: technical, legal and tax.
For the legal side – formal notices, criminal complaints, civil and criminal actions to recover funds – we work with Studio Legale Gioviale & Partners. We handle the technical analysis and the reconstruction of the flows; the law firm takes the actions before the competent authorities.
For tax matters we work with Dott. Fabio De Angelis, chartered accountant, employment consultant and statutory auditor, an expert in tax litigation: he assesses the tax treatment of money lost or recovered and assists in any disputes with the tax authorities.

Ponzi schemes: questions.
Guaranteed, steady returns, bonuses for bringing in new members, a vague or unverifiable underlying business, growing difficulty in withdrawing.
Yes, your position needs to be assessed as a whole: amounts paid in, amounts received and documentation available.
It is often worthwhile. We can organise the collection of several victims' data into a single file.
