We kept meeting the same person
The fraud victim who had already been told their money was gone. Block Pulse Global exists because that answer was very often wrong.
Block Pulse Global was founded in 2015 by a small group of former law enforcement investigators and forensic accountants. We had each spent years watching the same failure repeat: a victim reports a fraud, the institution handles what falls inside its own transaction window, and then the trail stops at a border or an account the bank has no reach into.
The victim is told their money is gone. Frequently, it is not — it is simply somewhere the first institution had no authority to follow it.
We started with eleven cases in our first year, and recovered on nine of them. That ratio has held broadly since, and it holds because of the qualifier rather than in spite of it: we assess every enquiry honestly and decline the ones we do not believe are recoverable.
“We started with eleven cases in our first year. We recovered on nine of them.”
Our mission
To give victims of financial fraud the expertise, the reach, and the persistence that financial institutions and criminal networks have always had on their side.
Our commitment
We take cases on merit, not on volume. If we do not believe your funds are recoverable, we will tell you that at the assessment — before you have committed to anything, and before any work has begun.
