A Swiss motorcyclist loses CHF 21,000 on a platform called InvesaCapital. The fake celebrity ad that brought him there looks real. The broker who called him sounds credible. What he couldn’t see was the network behind it: seven near-identical platforms, a management company in Cyprus, shared personnel across registry filings, and a deliberate pattern of shutting down platforms under scrutiny and relaunching under new names.

Investment scams are rarely run by lone actors. Behind polished platforms and convincing brokers sits a layered infrastructure of shell companies, holding entities, and recycled tactics spread across multiple fraudulent sites. Identifying a single node is only the beginning. The real challenge is mapping the wider network and linking online identities to the real people and entities behind the operation.

This is the case SRF and their investigators spent months untangling. In this webinar, guest investigators walk through how they mapped the operation from the first OSINT leads to key verification steps and investigative findings, sharing what failed, what worked, and what they would approach differently today.

This is not a product demo. It is a practitioner-to-practitioner discussion on investigative tradecraft, analytical methodology, and the real-world conditions behind a published investigation where Maltego proved valuable in supporting the case.
