Our Firm
The people who will handle your case
What we do
Our team works on one thing: helping people who have lost money to online financial fraud pursue its recovery. That covers fake brokers, fraudulent trading platforms, digital asset and exchange fraud, bogus investment schemes and bank phishing. We build the evidence, we handle the correspondence you would rather not face alone, and we put your case in front of the banks, providers and authorities who can act on it.
Important note
Straitmere accompanies clients through the recovery process. We do not provide financial advice, we do not manage investments, and we cannot guarantee the outcome of any case. Every matter is assessed on its own facts, and results depend on the specific circumstances, the evidence available, timing, and decisions taken by third parties.
Adrian Yeoh
Works on cases involving fraudulent brokers and trading platforms, with a focus on matters where the money has moved across borders.
Adeline Khoo
Traces cryptocurrency transactions and works with exchanges to document where funds went — the trail on a blockchain is public, and it can be followed.
A practice built around one problem
Why we exist
Online financial fraud in Malaysia is not the work of amateurs. The platforms are professionally built, the account managers are trained, and the schemes are designed by people who understand exactly how a plausible investment is supposed to look. Anyone can be caught by one — and most people who are, are then told there is nothing to be done.
Straitmere exists because that is not always true. Money that moved through a bank, an exchange or a regulated platform leaves a trail, and the institutions that can act on that trail respond to properly built cases. Someone has to build them.
How we work
We take on matters where there is a realistic route to pursue, and we say so plainly when there is not. We would rather turn a case away in the first conversation than take someone through months of work on a claim we never believed in.
Where we do act, we handle the parts victims find hardest to face alone: assembling the evidence, writing to the banks and providers, and keeping the case moving when the answer is silence. The decisions belong to third parties. The preparation is ours.
We help you document it
You do not need a complete file to come to us. Gathering and organising the evidence from your transactions is part of the work, not a condition for starting it.
Nothing leaves this office
What you tell us stays confidential, and is shared only where pursuing your case requires it, or where the law does.
We answer in plain language
No jargon and no vague reassurance. You will be told what stage your case is at and what the realistic options are, including when the news is not good.
