$76,000. That’s how much I lost in a supposed “green energy” investment that turned out to be a front for an international fraud ring. They used fake legal documents, phone calls with actors pretending to be from the SEC, the works. I was sick to my stomach when I realized I’d been conned. I couldn’t face anyone, not even my own wife. Francesca came into my life through a friend of a friend. She listened without judgment. Her team got to work right away, pulling up transaction logs, tracing wallet addresses—things I didn’t even know were possible. Their technical knowledge was astounding, but what mattered more to me was how human they were. It took nearly five months. There were setbacks, delays, and a lot of emotional ups and downs. But they kept showing up. And then one day, I logged into my recovery account and saw the funds sitting there. Almost the full amount. I called my wife and we both cried together. Francesca didn’t just recover stolen funds—she helped repair a broken part of me.
