Had a similar experience with IC3 and FBI though for a much lesser amount. It's nice that both exist but neither seem helpful for amounts that are meaningful to a small business, tens of thousands, but not meaningful at their level. Do any entities exist to try to help find justice for these smaller electronic financial crimes?
- pmorici 5y agoInvestigate it yourself? Police don't have many powers available to them that aren't also available to the average citizen. Hire a private investigator if you don't want to put your own time in.
- coderintherye 5y agoInvestigation is not exactly the problem (as the article notes the non-profit investigated it themselves as well). Rather, the problem is enforcement. In our case, it was relatively easy to track the perpetrator. However, there is generally no provision allowing for vigilante justice in such situations. Going to another country to personally threaten one of their citizens over their financial crime will likely not have a productive result.
