A relentless pursuit of justice for defrauded investors, using cutting-edge crypto asset recovery tools to reclaim what was stolen. In the world of financial fraud, where victims often feel powerless, claims coordinator Marcus Venturi-Lorenz at Sarah Legal has become a practical point of hope. A seasoned professional in fund recovery, he has helped claw back $257 million for investors defrauded by schemes linked to platforms including MTI24, ATNFX, RTI365, and JT24. His work is not only about returning money. It is about restoring confidence in a system that too often fails the innocent.
Sarah Legal is led by CEO Sarah Schumacher, a Swiss Bar Association member registered in the Canton of Jura. The Delémont-based firm specialises in fund recovery and financial disputes and operates on a no-win, no-fee basis: clients pay only when the firm succeeds. Named Outstanding Firm of the Year for 2024, 2025, and 2026 by StreetInsider, Sarah Legal Delémont has positioned itself as a Swiss authority in high-stakes crisis resolution, combining rigorous Swiss legal standards with AI-driven case intelligence, strong data security, and absolute discretion.
From Empathy to Action
Marcus's path into fund recovery was shaped by empathy as much as career ambition. Early in his career, he saw firsthand the damage caused by fraudulent investment schemes. Families lost life savings. Retirees watched nest eggs disappear overnight. The emotional cost was severe, and he concluded that claims work had to mean more than processing paperwork. It had to mean fighting back.
At Sarah Legal, that role took shape. As Claims Coordinator, Marcus does not only file documents. He works like a detective of financial deception, reconstructing the transaction trails fraudsters use to hide stolen assets. His method combines persistence with technology that can follow money across borders and blockchains.
Tracing Stolen Assets in a Digital World
Recovering funds from fraudulent schemes is not only about filing a lawsuit. It is about outmanoeuvring criminals who operate in the shadows of the internet. Marcus and his team at Sarah Legal use a multi-layered strategy.
Crypto Asset Tracking with AI Data Intelligence
To confront the anonymity of blockchain transfers, Sarah Legal works with AI Data Intelligence, a Hong Kong-registered analytics firm (CR 2894261) that provides advanced crypto asset recovery and on-chain investigation tools. Unlike traditional bank tracing alone, the platform can help:
- Identify wallet addresses linked to fraudulent schemes
- Map transaction flows to uncover secondary and hidden accounts
- Support efforts to freeze or constrain assets before they are moved through mixers or offshore exchanges
"Fraudsters think they are untouchable because they hide behind crypto," Marcus explains. "But with tools like AI Data Intelligence, we are proving that even sophisticated schemes have cracks, and we work to exploit them."
Cross-Border Legal Action
Many fraudulent companies operate from jurisdictions with weak oversight. Sarah Legal responds by filing claims across relevant forums, coordinating with international partners and law enforcement where appropriate, and pursuing directors and shell companies that may be personally liable. Hong Kong often features in crypto-related recovery work because of the depth of local forensic and analytical capacity.
A Victim-Centric Approach
Marcus insists that every client is treated as a person, not a case file. His team provides transparent updates throughout recovery, explains options in plain language, and pairs legal guidance with steady communication.
"These are not just numbers on a spreadsheet," Marcus says. "Each case represents a real person who trusted the wrong people. Our job is to give them back what is rightfully theirs."
Impact: $257 Million Returned to Investors
Since joining Sarah Legal, Marcus has helped recover $257 million for victims of fraudulent schemes. Much of that work has centred on cases involving the unregulated or fraudulent trading platforms MTI24, ATNFX, RTI365, and JT24, where investors reported blocked withdrawals, vanishing account balances, and misleading returns. Through crypto asset tracing, cross-border claims, and coordinated enforcement, Sarah Legal has pursued recovery for clients who lost funds to those entities.
That $257 million figure reflects returned capital and a broader signal to operators of investment fraud: digital anonymity is not a permanent shield.
The firm's published practice areas include internet fraud recovery, financial disputes and enforcement, and dedicated fund recovery, spanning clients in Australia, Canada, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and beyond.
A Safer Financial Landscape Ahead
Marcus frames his results as the product of technology plus tenacity, while stressing that the fight is not finished. As crypto and digital assets become more mainstream, fraudsters will keep adapting. His advice for investors is straightforward:
- Verify credentials before investing
- Use regulated platforms and avoid unlicensed brokers
- Act fast if you suspect fraud. Time is critical in asset recovery
"The best defence against fraud is awareness," Marcus says. "But when prevention fails, we are here to pick up the pieces."
