It would be interesting to know. I assume that a large majority of these kinds of crimes are perpetrated by foreign criminals, because it is so much harder to track them down or recover funds. A wire transfer is traceable and you would think that if the funds ended up in a domestic bank they could be recovered by law enforcement. And a domestic bank should have pretty good records on its account holders to help make an arrest.
But, it could just as easily be a high school kid in Milwaukee in his mom's basement stealing wi-fi from the neighbors. Anyone can open a foreign bank account and wire money anywhere in the world, I guess.
Sadly, though, these are real risks in the title industry and it can ruin lives. We need a solution to protect people from such devastation.
Best,
