Legal Subpoena and Enforcement Action
As the next step in our investigation process, FraudOptics, in coordination with your legal counsel, will pursue legal avenues to compel uncooperative parties to respond. This involves issuing formal subpoenas and, if necessary, initiating legal actions to enforce compliance and recover critical information.
Purpose:
– To legally mandate exchanges, platforms, or entities to disclose information relevant to the fraudulent activity.
– To ensure all possible leads are pursued for asset recovery and accountability.
– To establish a legal record for subsequent litigation or regulatory action.

- – Include a detailed description of the requested information, such as:
- – KYC records.

2. Filing Subpoenas in the Appropriate Jurisdiction:
- – Work with legal counsel to file subpoenas in the jurisdiction governing the exchange or entity’s operations.
- – Ensure compliance with local and international regulations, including privacy laws and data-sharing agreements.
3. Service of Subpoenas:
- – Serve subpoenas directly to the targeted parties through appropriate channels (e.g., via legal representatives or regulatory bodies).
- – Track delivery and acknowledgment of receipt.
4. Enforcement of Compliance:
- – Monitor responses to the subpoenas and take immediate action against noncompliance.
- – Pursue enforcement through court orders or legal motions if the entity fails to respond or comply within the stipulated timeframe.
5. Collaboration with Authorities:
- – Engage with regulatory agencies or law enforcement, such as FinCEN, the SEC, or Interpol, to strengthen the case and encourage compliance.
- – Leverage legal precedents and anti-money laundering (AML) laws to hold parties accountable.
