Case Files

Seven years. Millions paid. Then the factory started selling his designs to his own customers — and held a $250K balance hostage.

A Canadian distributor's "factory" was an empty building relabeling 1688 goods. 20% of POs vanished. We recovered $150K — then built him his own operation.

The one supplier he never inspected — charming, generous terms — shipped a contaminated batch. Recall, rerouted containers, documented destruction. An honest outcome: not everything came back.

A failed $68K order turned into extortion: the factory pulled her client list from an old shipping plan and threatened her buyers. A police report ended it — with a signed 20-year non-contact undertaking.

Cotton sheets detained under UFLPA. The factory was registered in Shaoxing — but every container loaded in Xinjiang. Proving the deception got his bond back.

Fired staff impersonated the boss on WeChat and asked for a new bank account. The client sensed it and stopped before wiring. Why your staff contact is not the factory.

A shipping company held her goods and demanded $7,523. The real shipper had never sent a single email — it was the factory. We turned it into an $11K recovery.

$175K gone, the "Taiwanese factory" closed and vanished. We tracked the Chinese owner to Chongqing through his shipping records — and recovered $100K.

One real case from the China floor, every week. What went wrong, what it cost, what fixed it.
