Hi all, I have a case I'm looking at that I believe our member is the victim of a Ponzi scheme. He invested in a website (that I found lots of evidence to be fraud). It's just under $10,000 (and he did receive a portion back). Do I list the website as the suspect? Or do I not file because it's under $25,000 and I don't know who runs/owns the website?

Do I list the website as the suspect?

Not sure how to list a website as a subject?

That's my thought. I can't really list the website, but I know that's where his funds are going. So if I can't list it, then is it an unknown suspect?

Yes, if you choose to report then all the website information would be included in the narrative.

It would appear that you have an unknown suspect and, therefore, are subject to the $25,000 threshold. That said, it sounds like there is information that might assist law enforcement, so why not file this one?
