Investment Scam Recovery: Steps for Affected Parties

If you have lost money to an investment scam, recovery is difficult but not impossible. This page outlines practical steps for victims, informed by the Corinth Group investigation and the experiences of multiple complainants across several countries.

Step 1: Preserve All Evidence

Before taking any other action, secure every document related to your engagement. This includes: all contracts and term sheets; proof of payment (bank transfer confirmations, SWIFT records); all email correspondence; WhatsApp, Telegram, or other messaging records; marketing materials and presentations you received; and any recordings of calls or meetings. In the Corinth Group investigation, complainants who preserved detailed records have provided the strongest evidence for regulatory complaints.

Step 2: Report to Authorities

File reports with every relevant authority. For the Corinth Group network, this means: FINMA (Switzerland) for Swiss-registered entities like Corinth Investment Holdings AG (CHE-102.223.770); Staatsanwaltschaft Graubunden for criminal fraud (Art. 146 StGB) — free to file; Action Fraud and the FCA (UK) for UK entities like Three Tuns Investment Holdings Ltd (14242045); and CySEC (Cyprus) for the revoked AIFM licence (AIFM48/56/2013) [CySEC AIFM register]. Multiple complainants filing independently strengthens each case.

Step 3: Engage Legal Representation

Consult a lawyer in the jurisdiction where the contracting entity is registered. For Swiss entities, a Swiss lawyer can advise on civil recovery through the courts and can file a criminal complaint on your behalf. For UK entities, solicitors can advise on claims against directors personally, particularly where companies have entered insolvency — Corinth Management Services Ltd entered compulsory liquidation in January 2026 [Companies House, UK].

Step 4: Connect with Other Victims

Investment fraud schemes typically have multiple victims. The Corinth Group investigation has identified complainants across Europe, South Africa, and the United States. When multiple victims coordinate — sharing evidence, filing parallel complaints, and pooling legal resources — the chances of regulatory and legal action increase substantially. If you are a victim of Corinth Group entities, contact the relevant authorities and reference the existing complaint history.

Step 5: Monitor Insolvency Proceedings

When a fraudulent entity enters insolvency, the Official Receiver or liquidator investigates the directors' conduct. Creditors who file claims may receive distributions from any recovered assets. Monitor Companies House for updates on entities in liquidation.
