The SUNY Old Westbury Justice for Fraud Victims Project (JFVP) offers victims of fraud across Long Island support in their pursuit of restitution while also providing vital skill-building experience for SUNY Old Westbury students. JFVP’s goal is to assist victims of suspected financial fraud in cases where forensic investigative services are limited or too costly.
Criteria that may be used for JFVP case selection include, but are not limited to, demonstrated financial need (i.e. inability to afford a full certified fraud examination), victim and witness cooperation with the investigation, and whether or not the crime occurred within the statute of limitations for prosecution.
