Patino & Associates successfully litigated one of the first online bank fraud cases in the country. Our client, the Operations Manager for Ahlo Inc., discovered while watching for an expected wire transfer that $90,000 had been illegally transferred from his corporate bank account to an unauthorized account located at Parex Bank in Riga, Latvia. 

Ahlo was the unknowing victim on an online "phishing" or "Trojan horse" scheme, after an Internet cyber scammer planted a keystroke logging malware software program known as coreflood on his computer for the purpose of gaining access to the confidential user name and password for his corporate bank account. The Bank initially refused to return the funds following Mr. Lopez’s pleas for help. He then turned to the Miami area personal injury and bank fraud law firm of Patino & Associates, which achieved a successful resolution for the client after filing a lawsuit in Miami Dade Circuit Court.
