CSVL Partner Mark Lefkow and Associate Pamela Bispo da Silva recovered $168,000 for a Fortune Global 500 company headquartered in North Dakota that was the victim of an email cyber-fraud phishing scam. The client sent Automated Clearing House transfers to accounts per the instructions of criminal actors posing as the client’s supplier. CSVL obtained an injunction in the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota, and issued discovery to the banks at which the criminal enterprise had laundered the funds. In the course of discovery, CSVL discovered that one bank had $168,000 in its client funds pending in suspense, and it obtained an order for the bank to deposit the funds into the court registry. Ultimately, CSVL obtained a default judgment one of the accountholders that received ACH transfers, and the judgment includes an order for disbursement of the court registry funds to CSVL’s client. CSVL also found funds belonging to a non-client third party who was also defrauded and, as part of the judgment, it will distribute these funds back to the third party.
