ASSET TRACING & RECOVERY - The FraudNet World Compendium
In my many years of investigating serious fraud as a journalist, a recurring theme is how
little in the form of criminal proceeds are recovered from perpetrators for distribution
to their victims. Even when fraudsters are actually criminally prosecuted and convicted,
which is rare in itself, it is rarer still for there to be any meaningful recovery of their assets.
…
It does not have to be this way, however, and I am confident that you will find FraudNet's
World Compendium "Asset Tracing & Recovery" a useful tool in educating you how to
do things the right way so that you may meaningfully contribute to the ongoing fight by
honest and hard-working people around the world to redress the enormous imbalance
that currently exists between what is stolen and what is recovered.
…
On a more sombre note, as an investigative journalist, witness the effects of serious fraud
on a continual basis. I see the emotional devastation and misery that often accompanies
a financial loss. It is not a pretty sight. None of us are immune from becoming a victim,
including me.
