Any fraud or debt collection over a few million dollars will have international components. The fraudster/debtors use the ease of moving to different countries to create distance resistance. The money they have taken is much more resistant to your efforts to collect the money. There is a number of tactics employed by the fraudsters to frustrate and impede any collection. What is needed is a well-honed and crated strategy combining investigations, forensic accounting, digital experts and skilled layers to get the information. International asset recovery is very different from mere debt collection. It is both complex and complicated with what often seems and an endless string of obstacles.

By the time you get the judgment the money is long gone. What is needed is the new paradigm of investigation, asset freeze order and then litigation. Also not all judgments are the same.
