Case Study: Berkeley Research Group uncovers EB-5 visa fraud faster with Valid8 Financial

Berkeley Research Group - Customer Case Study

The Berkeley Research Group (BRG), a Top 20 firm, was engaged by a federal receiver to investigate a complex EB-5 visa fraud case. The challenge was to trace how funds were co-mingled and misused across numerous entities and accounts to determine the appropriate level of effort for fund recovery. BRG brought in Valid8 Financial to address this challenge.

Valid8’s solution aggregated over 200 statements from dozens of accounts across seven entities. Its patented algorithms and transaction matching swiftly identified fraudulent transfers and undisclosed accounts within minutes, compressing discovery time from weeks to hours. This enabled BRG to resolve the case in a three-month engagement, significantly shortening the investigation and allowing the team to scale its efforts without adding headcount.
