A dedicated newsroom app for financial fraud that pushes enforcement news to investors, lawyers and compliance teams as it happens.
Fraud News Network reports on one subject: money taken through deception. Its readers follow Ponzi schemes, securities cases, syndication collapses and regulator actions. We delivered the iOS and Android app that turns the newsroom's investigations and court-record analysis into a live, filterable feed.
Anyone tracking investment fraud had to stitch the story together from SEC releases, court dockets, enforcement notices and general news sites, usually days after the fact. There was no publication organized around how these schemes work or who loses money to them. FNN needed a reader app that could organize very different kinds of fraud and alert readers the moment something significant happened.
We kept the app to one Flutter codebase so iPhone and Android readers get every alert and feature on the same day, backed by a Node.js and TypeScript API on MongoDB that stores the reporting and drives alerts.
3 steps, from architecture to launch.
Stories are filed under beats such as SEC actions, real estate deals and broader financial crime, so each reader can narrow the feed.
The API pushes alerts for major cases and enforcement actions without waiting for a digest.
Saved searches, a trending list and bookmarks let people follow a case for weeks.
A Reg D offering, a banking scandal and a consumer scam have little in common, and one feed buried all of them.
Stories are tagged into beats, and readers follow only the ones relevant to their work.
Court and regulator filings surface slowly, and readers were learning about cases late.
A dedicated push pipeline notifies readers when a major development is published.
Coverage of live cases could easily read like legal or investment guidance.
We designed article layouts to present sourced facts and public records, keeping commentary clearly separate from counsel.
Push notifications when major fraud cases or enforcement actions are published.
Long-form reporting on investor losses, corporate misconduct and how each scheme was run.
Pick the beats you care about, from SEC enforcement to property syndications, and ignore the rest.
Analysis of SEC actions, filings, litigation and outcomes, gathered into the feed.
Search history, trending topics, bookmarks and sharing for following cases over time.
