Swiss Businessman Recovers CHF 1.4 Million in Stolen Assets with Help from FCS Team

Zurich, Switzerland — A Swiss businessman has successfully recovered more than CHF 1.4 million in stolen digital assets thanks to the combined efforts of FCS Asset Recovery’s legal and financial specialists.

The complex case began when the businessman was defrauded through an international online investment scheme. Large sums of cryptocurrency were transferred through multiple wallets and exchanges, making the funds difficult to trace.

Working from FCS’s Zurich office, Attorney Martin Macher, a specialist in compliance and regulatory law, coordinated with Swiss authorities to ensure every step of the process complied with national and EU regulations. At the same time, Phillip Stein, Senior Financial Recovery Specialist and asset tracing expert, used advanced blockchain forensics to follow the digital trail across several jurisdictions.

By combining legal action, technical investigation and international cooperation, the team secured freezing orders, identified key wallets and successfully negotiated the return of the stolen assets. Within months, the client received back CHF 1.4 million, representing one of the firm’s most significant Swiss recoveries to date.

“This result shows what can be achieved when legal, financial and technical expertise work hand in hand,” said Attorney Martin Macher. “Our goal is always to protect victims of fraud and restore their confidence.”
