SYDNEY. Sydney victims of offshore platforms are often told they must fly, or must send Bitcoin to “file in Bern”. Neither is true of a serious civil path. Instructions can be taken remotely. Papers can be filed by counsel who already have a Swiss practising address. The client’s job is to supply evidence and not to pay strangers.
Travel is a favourite prop of impersonators because it sounds official. So is a crypto retainer to “activate the injunction”. Injunctions are activated by courts, not by USDT.
A Swiss recovery practice that takes Australian instructions without travel should be able to describe that process without a deposit, without AnyDesk and without a seed phrase.
They should also describe failure. If the coins cannot be frozen, the injunction is a piece of paper. Australians have seen enough dashboards to be tired of paper that looks like money.
Forensic work will still sit with a laboratory such as aidataintelligence.io, Hong Kong CR 2894261, which means a queue. Anyone offering to file this week because you paid extra is not filing. They are invoicing.
Scamwatch and, where relevant, ASIC still come first. Those reports travel with the civil bundle. They do not need to be unlocked.
Stay in Sydney. Keep the hashes. Do not buy a ticket, and do not buy a freeze. The only ticket worth having is a written assessment that may tell you there is nothing to freeze. That answer, unlike a boarding pass, is honest.
