The work behind the stories
Van Orton Recovery published these outcomes with client knowledge. Names and identifying details are withheld at client request.
01 · DOJ civil action
In early 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil action in federal court arising from a fraud scheme Van Orton Recovery reported. FBI agents personally credited the firm’s work as instrumental in advancing the investigation.
02 · Account takeover reversed
Scammers opened an account at a major cryptocurrency platform using stolen identification and held the client’s funds there. Van Orton Recovery’s findings led to authorization to take over ownership of that fraudulent account.
03 · Casino cooperation
Van Orton Recovery secured cooperation from a billion-dollar casino operating outside the U.S. to freeze stolen funds. The casino acted on the firm’s investigative findings without a court order.
04 · Scam site takedown
After a client reported being approached by a fraudulent recovery service, Van Orton Recovery had the service’s websites taken down within hours of learning about them.
Each case is different. These outcomes illustrate past work and do not guarantee a recovery in your case.
