Have you made an investment, and now the person who sold it to you won't return your calls?
Did you ask for your money back from an investment, and didn't get it?
Maybe you bought a private placement security, and now you're hearing about it in the news and it might be a scam?
Is someone trying to sell you an investment, but it sounds too good to be true, and you've got doubts?
Did you find some investment paperwork in a family member's estate, and you don't know what it all means?
Have you heard a spouse or a family member discussing an investment that seems bogus, and it has you worried?
Are you working inside a public company, investment adviser, broker-dealer or hedge fund, and you feel that something's wrong?
Do you suspect investment fraud?
I'm a licensed Private Investigator in North Carolina with a 25 year career in global investment operations in London, Singapore and New York. I have recent law enforcement experience investigating investment scams, schemes and frauds.
I investigate suspect private placements, forex, autotrading, unregistered securities, penny stock scams, cryptocurrency frauds, Ponzi schemes, real estate ventures and hedge funds.
If you're a resident of North Carolina, or you bought your investment from a firm or a person in North Carolina, or you invested in, or work at, a North Carolina company- I can help you.
I can help you find out the identity of the people behind the investment, and what they're hiding.
I can assess your situation, review your documents, and help you decide what your next steps should be.
I can prepare your information cost-effectively so that you can take it to an attorney, a regulator, or law enforcement.
Are you from law enforcement, an attorney or a journalist? I can help you too.
Are you an Investment Adviser or a Broker-Dealer in North Carolina considering a merger, acquisition or joint venture, or an out-of-state entity looking to partner with a North Carolina firm?

I'm a licensed Private Investigator in North Carolina with 25 years of global investment management and recent government investigations experience- I can help you.
I conduct fast, effective, confidential and thorough business background checks on individuals and corporate entities so that you can take your next steps with confidence.
I use public records, corporate and regulatory filings, news media, trade press and the specialized, private databases only available to licensed Private Investigators to bring you the information you need.
Are you a North Carolina registered Investment Adviser, or an SEC registered IA based in North Carolina?
Did you buy an off-the-shelf compliance program from the internet?
Are you concerned about your next regulatory exam?
Are you a smaller North Carolina state-registered IA that can't hire a seasoned CCO just yet?
Do you worry that your ADV Part 2 and Compliance Manuals are out-of-date, and that they don't properly describe your actual business?
I'm the former CCO of an SEC-registered hedge fund adviser with recent government regulatory experience- I can help you.
I will review your business practices and rewrite your ADV Part 2 so that it accurately describes what you do.
I will design and help you implement an ongoing compliance program for your firm that includes a quarterly assessment to keep you on the right track and prepare you for your next exam.
