A wire proves a movement of money, not necessarily its lawful origin or the investor’s ownership. A multi-account case needs both the source explanation and records connecting that source to the invested amount.
Test each link independently
For every step, identify whose money it was, why it moved and which document confirms receipt. Reconcile material differences in amount or date. Do not hide intermediate accounts because the last wire came directly from the investor.
Present the sequence to counsel before filing so unexplained deposits can be investigated while the underlying records are still available. Ownership is the link most often assumed rather than proved. For each account in the chain, establish who legally held the funds at that moment, not merely who controlled the login.
Joint accounts, accounts held in a spouse’s or parent’s name, and business accounts belonging to a company the investor part-owns all require an explanation of how the money became the investor’s to invest. Where funds passed through someone else, the arrangement’s legal character matters: a gift, a loan and a repayment of an earlier debt each require different evidence, and describing one as another creates a problem that is harder to correct later. Set the chain out to counsel with the awkward steps included.
An investor who conceals an intermediate account because the final wire came from their own name is generally creating the very gap a reviewer will find.
