Fraud Investigation Case File Agent

Fraud investigations stall when evidence sits in many systems and linked accounts go unnoticed. When an analyst opens a case, this agent builds the case file. It gathers transactions, account opening data, devices, IP addresses, payees and communications. It searches for linked accounts through shared devices, addresses, phone numbers and payees, and rates each link as strong or weak. It builds a timeline and a loss calculation. It then checks that every event in the timeline has a source record and that all links have been explored. If new links appear, it expands the search one more level and recalculates totals. It drafts the case summary and notes when the loss is high enough for a law enforcement referral. The analyst decides the outcome, account actions and referrals. Edge case: two accounts share an address only because they are in the same apartment building, so the link is weak.
