Can I get my money back after an investment scam?

Honest numbers: across the cases I've seen, partial recovery happens in roughly 8-20% of investment-scam victims who act within 14 days, drops to 2-5% after 60 days, and is near-zero after a year. Variables that move the needle:

• Loss size: cases under $25k rarely justify the legal cost.
• Funding route: bank transfers and card payments have recall rights; crypto-to-crypto deposits don't.
• Destination exchange: cooperative Tier-1 venues vs offshore platforms make an order-of-magnitude difference.
• Speed of action: every week of delay halves your odds.

Beware anyone promising specific recovery percentages or 'no win, no fee' arrangements with large upfront payments. Real recovery is uncertain and the people who tell you otherwise are part of the secondary fraud market.
