Our embezzlement and internal theft investigations trace diverted funds through complex transfers, uncover hidden accounts held in nominee names or by family members, locate sudden real estate acquisitions, vehicles, jewelry, art, and other high-value assets purchased with illicit proceeds, and expose offshore trusts or anonymous companies used to shield the gains. We deliver precise, court-admissible documentation that ties every recovered asset directly to the original theft.

Working hand-in-hand with corporate counsel, outside forensic accountants, and law enforcement when needed, Carl Mason P.I. produces the detailed financial intelligence required for restitution orders, civil judgments, fraudulent-conveyance actions, and asset forfeiture. Companies and individuals across the country have recovered millions that appeared lost forever because our investigations revealed exactly what was taken and where it ultimately landed.

Discreet, relentless, and proven effective, a Carl Mason P.I. embezzlement and fraud asset search transforms suspicion into recovery. Don’t write off the loss — let us show you what can still be reclaimed.

Business Asset Investigations for Employee Theft, Fraud, and  Embezzlement

If you own or operate a business, you put a level of trust in your partners, vendors, employees, and customers. Unfortunately, most businesses will endure a large setback at some point due to embezzlement of funds, theft of products, theft of intellectual property, or other internal issues.

Attorneys and business leaders can reach out to my business to perform an asset search & investigation to determine if the defendants still have the cash or other assets. This is a strategic move that helps your legal case – ensuring you know more than the opposing party realizes. The asset report provides leverage to negotiate a proper settlement and reveals evidence of fraudulent conveyance (which may help you sue for 3x the amount that was stolen). And if needed, the asset report can be submitted to as evidence in court. I have helped attorneys and business leaders advance their legal cases – give me a call and let’s discuss your situation.
