Weight Fraud

After uncovering a cross-border ecommerce fraud that exposed the client to approximately $800,000 in carrier chargebacks and related losses, a rapid asset-tracing investigation was launched to identify the fraudulent actos and prevent dissipation of recoverable assets. Pre-action discovery from Shopify pierced the storefront’s anonymity and revealed operational control through overlapping emails, IP addresses, payment accounts, and logistics relationships, while the investigation navigated a complex web of identity variants and affiliated entities appearing across state filings and DOT records. The investigation ultimately uncovered a no-consideration quitclaim transfer of a Brooklyn residence made while the defendant was insolvent, allowing enforcement action to halt a pending sale and impose a lien preserving a $1.7M property for future judgment recovery.
