Recovery work sits inside established anti-money-laundering, payment-system and criminal-law frameworks. This page summarises the instruments most often relevant to a case file and how they shape what an institution can act on.
The FATF Recommendations, including the Travel Rule for virtual-asset service providers, underpin the originator and beneficiary information exchanges that make cross-border tracing possible. In the European Union, MiCA and the AML directives set the disclosure expectations for crypto-asset service providers.
Federal wire-fraud and computer-fraud statutes, the Bank Secrecy Act and FinCEN reporting obligations, and information-sharing under section 314(b) are the provisions most frequently engaged where a US institution or exchange is involved.
The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, and the civil freezing and disclosure remedies available in the English courts are the routes most often relevant to UK-facing cases. Payment-network and banking standards, including PSD2 and card-scheme chargeback rules, apply where the loss moved through the regulated payment system.
Citing these frameworks describes the environment the work operates in. It does not imply that any regulator, agency or institution endorses, supervises or is affiliated with Blackline Systems. No outcome is guaranteed. Blackline Systems Ltd is a private firm, not a law-enforcement body and not a law firm, and it cannot compel any institution to return funds.
