Q2 2023

The Chess Operation

The Chess Operation
THE SITUATION

A fraudster stole millions and vanished to South America.

THE LEGAL RISK

Client faced total loss. Legal action stalled without subject location. Asset recovery impossible without identification.

OUR STRATEGY

Subject was a serious chess player. No chess clubs existed in the suspected region. We created one.

THE INTERVENTION

Subject attended. We identified him and coordinated with legal counsel for next steps.

THE RESULT

Target located. Asset recovery proceedings initiated. Positive outcome secured.

STRATEGIC LESSON

Intelligence creates leverage where legal process alone cannot.

Asset Recovery

Q4 2023

$165M Recovery

$165M Recovery
THE SITUATION

A nominee siphoned $165 million into a new company preparing for IPO. Legal routes would take years.

THE LEGAL RISK

IPO would distribute proceeds across thousands of shareholders. Recovery would become effectively impossible.

OUR STRATEGY

Map fund flows. Identify pressure points. Deploy strategic pressure campaigns targeting IPO underwriters and board members.

THE INTERVENTION

We briefed legal counsel on nominee structure vulnerabilities. Applied coordinated pressure pre-listing.

THE RESULT

Settlement forced before IPO. Full recovery achieved. Legal costs minimised.

STRATEGIC LESSON

Strategic pressure, guided by intelligence, delivers outcomes litigation cannot guarantee.

Crisis Management + Legal

Q3 2024

Deepfake Containment

Deepfake Containment
THE SITUATION

A C-suite executive was targeted with a sophisticated deepfake video alleging insider trading. Distribution imminent.

THE LEGAL RISK

Regulatory investigation likely. Shareholder litigation probable. Reputational damage irreversible if video went mainstream.

OUR STRATEGY

Trace deepfake origin. Identify distribution network. Contain before mainstream pickup. Coordinate with legal counsel on regulatory response.

THE INTERVENTION

We identified the source within 24 hours. Dismantled distribution infrastructure. Briefed legal team on proactive regulatory disclosure.

THE RESULT

Deepfake contained before mainstream distribution. No regulatory action. Reputation intact.

STRATEGIC LESSON

Crisis intelligence must move faster than the threat. Legal strategy follows intelligence, not vice versa.

Narrative Risk + Litigation

Q1 2024

Hostile Campaign Neutralisation

Hostile Campaign Neutralisation
THE SITUATION

A state-linked network planned a coordinated smear campaign to destabilise a major merger worth $2B.

THE LEGAL RISK

Regulatory scrutiny would delay or kill the deal. Reputational damage would affect future transactions.

OUR STRATEGY

Map the influence network. Identify the operators. Dismantle the infrastructure before campaign launch.

THE INTERVENTION

We infiltrated the network. Identified key nodes. Coordinated with legal counsel on injunctive relief. Neutralised the threat.

THE RESULT

Campaign dismantled before launch. Merger proceeded without disruption. Legal exposure eliminated.

STRATEGIC LESSON

Offensive intelligence prevents legal problems before they require defensive litigation.
