Works in Chat, Cowork and Code
Entity and individual screening
Screen subjects against global sanctions lists, politically exposed persons databases, and adverse media in seconds. Build comprehensive risk profiles for companies, individuals, and beneficial ownership chains before or during an investigation.
Screening results for Aleksei Petrov: No direct OFAC/EU/UN match. PEP database: no match. Adverse media: 2 hits — 2021 investigative report (OCCRP) linking subject to Cyprus shell company network associated with sanctioned individuals. Beneficial ownership research recommended. Risk rating: HIGH (indirect sanctions exposure).
Company and corporate structure research
Map beneficial ownership chains, trace corporate structures across jurisdictions, and identify undisclosed related parties. Pull registered director histories, filing anomalies, and dissolution patterns that signal shell company activity.
Nexfield Holdings Ltd (UK, Companies House): Incorporated 2019. 2 current directors: James Whitmore (UK national) and Maria Sousa (Portuguese national). Same directors appear on 4 other UK entities: Greenfield Capital Ltd, Apex Ventures Ltd, 3 with dormant status. Latest filing: late by 4 months (compliance flag). No accounts filed for 2 entities — dissolution pending.
Regulatory enforcement research
Search FinCEN, FINRA, OCC, and SEC enforcement actions to identify prior regulatory infractions by subjects. Research penalty history and consent orders that establish patterns of fraudulent behavior.
Found 3 enforcement actions: SEC cease-and-desist order (2017) — unsuitable investment recommendations. FINRA fine ($285,000, 2019) — failure to supervise. FINRA bar order (2022) — principal Jason Merritt barred for unauthorized trading. Subject firm has pattern of repeat enforcement. Documents attached.
Legal case and precedent research
Research fraud-related case law, sentencing patterns, and evidentiary standards across jurisdictions. Support case theory development and prosecution strategy with relevant legal precedents.
Wire fraud (18 USC 1343) elements: scheme to defraud, use of wire communications, intent. Recent circuit courts have upheld convictions based on: email chains (94% of recent cases), financial transfer records, and co-conspirator testimony. Key 9th Circuit ruling (2023): metadata timestamps admissible for establishing knowledge timeline. Mail fraud elements virtually identical — jurisdiction lies wherever communication traveled.
Financial market and asset research
Research stock transactions, trading patterns, and public financial data to identify suspicious timing in securities fraud investigations. Correlate market activity with known events to establish trading timelines.
ACME Corp (ACME): Pre-announcement (Oct 16 - Nov 14): Average daily volume 245,000 shares. Anomaly detected: Nov 12-13, volume spike to 2.1M shares (+758%), price moved from $18.40 to $22.10 (+20%). Earnings release Nov 15 (beat by 34%). Post-announcement volume normalized. The pre-announcement spike warrants further investigation for potential insider trading.
Case documentation and reporting
Compile investigation findings, source documents, and evidence summaries into structured case reports. Generate Suspicious Activity Report narratives and prosecution referral packages from investigation notes.
Drafted SAR Narrative: described structuring pattern (47 transactions, $9,800-9,900 range, 90-day window, $468,500 total), identified as willful structuring under 31 USC 5324, documented branch dispersion (8 locations), flagged BSA/AML violation indicators. Formatted per FinCEN SAR filing requirements with activity description, subject information fields, and law enforcement contact sections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sanctions databases does Compliance Screening cover?
Compliance Screening covers OFAC (SDN and non-SDN lists), EU consolidated sanctions list, UN Security Council list, UK Treasury sanctions, and 20+ additional lists. It also checks PEP databases, INTERPOL notices, and aggregated adverse media from news sources. Coverage is updated continuously.
Can I use company lookup to trace beneficial ownership through multiple jurisdictions?
Company Lookup covers UK (Companies House), US (state registries), and EU company registries. For multi-jurisdictional beneficial ownership chains involving offshore jurisdictions, combine Company Lookup for registered entities with Deep Research for open-source intelligence on opaque ownership structures.
How far back does the SEC EDGAR enforcement action search go?
SEC Filings searches EDGAR, which contains enforcement actions dating back to the early 1990s. The database is comprehensive for SEC matters, but for FINRA and other SRO enforcement actions, the Regulatory Actions tool searches those specific databases. Always cross-reference both for complete enforcement history.
Can these tools help identify structuring and money laundering patterns?
The tools support research and documentation around suspected structuring, but don't analyze transaction data directly — that requires access to the institution's own transaction monitoring system. These tools are most valuable for entity research, adverse media, regulatory history, and SAR narrative drafting.
Are AI-generated investigation summaries admissible in legal proceedings?
Documents generated by Content Repurposer are drafting tools — the underlying facts, sources, and conclusions are the investigator's own work product. As with any documentation, the investigator is responsible for accuracy. Legal admissibility depends on proper sourcing and chain of custody, not the drafting tool used.
