About Us
So often in life it all comes down to protecting yourself, your loved ones, and your assets. We specialize in investigating a wide range of matters related to people and money. We excel at investigating religious cults and their leaders; Reg D and Reg A private equity offerings; potential new business partners; and self-proclaimed experts in investments, online marketing, and other deals that require you to invest money in their crypto currency; seminars; courses; or to purchase inventory for online or MLM sales.
Ghanian and Eastern European romance scams are on the rise. We can help you by investigating and analyzing e-mails. We recommend that you never send money to any unknown person online who professes their love for you and yet keeps needing money. We have worked on romance scams and have prevented clients from being scammed by predators.
Our goal is to find out who these people are in real life, who their hidden partners may be, and what companies they may or may not own. Scammers and predators invariably have hidden pasts and secrets to hide. We seek to find as much as possible by using a wide range of techniques.
We have proven skills in developing sophisticated information source search strategies to identify patterns, networks, and relationships across financial, criminal, public record, archives, and other information sources, some of which are obscure or offshore.
We prefer to work under the direct supervision and instruction of attorneys retained by our clients. This allows our clients to retain attorney-client privilege in their legal matters. The attorney handling your case will want to manage a private investigation in real time. We are very skilled at finding and collecting evidence in obscure places; fine print; interviewing witnesses; and field surveillance. We ask our clients many questions because they often have vital information and documents they may not realize the importance of due to the circumstances or stresses they are experiencing. We help to create the necessary distance and perspective any investigation requires.
Never Take Anything at Face Value
Never make an investment or enter into an important business relationship without first verifying the company, people, or the person. Our clients pay us to be objective, cerebral, skeptical, and fact-finding on their behalf. We seek to discover the truth and the facts for our clients.

Our ongoing, and very public, research and investigation project into the Church of Scientology is called The Scientology Money Project. Our blog demonstrates the high standards of our work and capabilities in openly investigating what we deem to be a >$3 billion corrupt organization.
Jeffrey Augustine's investigational work into Scientology has been cited in Forbes, Fortune, Money, The Tampa Bay Times, and many other publications. He appeared on Leah Remini's double-Emmy award winning program Scientology and the Aftermath.
Augustine's coverage of the $1.8 billion Ponzi-like scheme conducted by the GPB Capital Holdings of New York City has attracted a great deal of attention. The scheme bilked 15,000 investors, many of whom were older people who were taken in by promises of high rates of return. Most notably, Augustine uncovered GPB Capital's ties to Michael Chernaya, the Russian Oligarch and reported leader of the Izmailovskaya gang, a Russian organized crime family.
Scientologist David Gentile, the owner of the GPB Capital Holdings was convicted of five felonies on August 1, 2024 in the Brooklyn Federal Court following a seven week trial. His co-defendant Jeffry Schneider was convicted of four felonies.
