Hidden Assets can be difficult to trace, but not for JSG.

What are some of the ways that people try to hide assets?

Individuals and companies employ various strategies to hide assets, often motivated by the desire to shield these assets from court-ordered judgments, evade taxes, or manipulate financial declarations during divorce proceedings. These tactics are designed to obscure the true extent of wealth and complicate legal and financial accountability.

Common methods include establishing offshore or "shell" companies in small island nations, where the regulatory environment may be more lenient. Assets are frequently hidden through transfers of significant assets like real estate, vehicles, boats, RVs, and aircraft titles to relatives, making it difficult to trace ownership back to the original holder. Justice Solutions Group's investigative methods are tailored to detect and document these transfers, building a case for potential fraudulent transfer actions.

Other prevalent tactics involve:

  • Creating LLCs or C-Corps, closing them but retaining active bank accounts, exploiting banking oversight.

  • Using a business alias (DBA) for banking, avoiding personal account scrutiny.

  • Funneling money through family members who then return it in cash or through wire transfers, masking the original source.

  • Establishing shell companies to receive payments and pay personal bills, thereby co-mingling funds to obscure the origin.

  • Utilizing prepaid debit cards to receive and spend funds anonymously, like traditional banking cards.

  • Operating businesses at a reported loss to hide profits, closing them and repeating the cycle with new ventures.

  • Maintaining dual accounting books in small businesses to underreport cash earnings.

Our international asset investigation framework is adept at navigating these complex schemes across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring thorough exposure of hidden assets and providing crucial evidence for legal proceedings.

Asset Search FAQ

Have more questions? Just give us a call: (800) 278-9329

 
 

  • We do not conduct asset recovery or judgment collection for individuals, nor do we “buy” judgments. We are only in the business of identifying assets for recovery. It is often easier than people realize to collect civil judgments. Our investigators will be happy to point you in the right direction for tactics to recover judgments.

    For corporate and legal clients, we can assist with recovery, depending on the amount owed. Each legal case has different standards for due diligence reporting, so speak with your SIU investigator about the needs specific to your case.

  • Searches typically take between 7-10 days. We can sometimes complete the search faster, depending on the nature of the case. For difficult subjects or special cases, the average is 14 days. Searches can be expedited for an additional fee.

  • No. Our asset searches are conducted discreetly without the subject being notified or "Tipped Off" in any way. We do not pretext banks pretending to be the customer.

  • The most common reason to obtain bank account or brokerage account information (liquid assets) is so that a civil judgment or child support judgment can be enforced by a levy. Clients also perform searches to:

    Identify property to place a lien against to satisfy a judgment

    Aid in determining whether or not to proceed with a lawsuit

    Identifying all non-exempt assets that can be used to satisfy a judgment such as vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, etc.

    Identifying and confirming all assets in a divorce or a bankruptcy

    Identifying and establishing admissible evidence that can later be used in a fraudulent action suit

  • Yes, as long as they follow FCRA, GLBA and Local/State guidelines and the methods used are legal (like ours). We only conduct asset searches with a permissible purpose:

    Debt Collection & Judgment Recovery, Fraud Prevention or Detection, Pre-Litigation

    Fraud Prevention (possible hidden assets) and Insurance Investigations.

  • Asset searches cannot be used for any evidentiary purposes (i.e. to corroborate testimony, exhibits etc.) It is not substantiated evidence. The information contained in reports can only be used as an intelligence aid in obtaining subpoenas, writs of execution, judgments and liens, (without directly referencing information contained in the reports), and to obtain substantiated evidentiary information by subpoena or court order. There are NO personal appearance subpoena's for asset searches.

  • Yes. Our service is not intended to be a game of "Test the Investigators"

    We are here to work with the client to identify and verify known assets, not just find assets that the client may not be aware of.

  • Not at this time. Current regulations prohibit institutions from providing transactions.

  • No. We are only able to obtain credit reports by written authorization of the consumer.

  • Unfortunately, we cannot make people have assets, so we charge for the effort of the search, not for the results in assets. If the subject has assets, we will find them and report them. If the subject does not have assets, we provide a report of our detailed search, either way.
