Cryptocurrency Fraud Investigation

We cannot directly recover funds as that requires legal authority (law enforcement) or court orders directed at exchanges. However, we provide the critical investigation that makes recovery possible—identifying which exchanges received funds enables subpoenas and freezing requests. Many successful recoveries have been achieved using our investigation reports.

For active fraud situations, we offer emergency investigation services with response times as fast as 2-4 hours. Speed is absolutely critical as fraudsters often move funds quickly through multiple hops, exchanges, or mixing services. Contact us immediately for urgent cases—we have investigators available 24/7 for emergencies.

At minimum, we need either the transaction hash of the theft or the wallet address where funds were sent. More helpful: screenshots of the scam, communication with fraudsters, the original address you sent from, transaction amounts, and timeline of events. The more context you provide, the more effective our investigation.

Yes, we regularly support law enforcement investigations globally. We provide evidence in formats required by agencies including FBI, Secret Service, local police departments, and international authorities. We can also help explain blockchain concepts to investigators unfamiliar with cryptocurrency and provide expert testimony if needed.

We investigate all cryptocurrency fraud including: phishing attacks, pig butchering/romance scams, fake investment platforms, rug pulls, Ponzi schemes, SIM swap thefts, ransomware payments, business email compromise, exchange hacks, smart contract exploits, NFT fraud, and internal corporate theft.

Mixer analysis is challenging but often possible, especially with mixers that have known vulnerabilities or when combined with other evidence. We use advanced techniques including timing analysis, amount correlation, and known mixer address databases. Success rates vary depending on which mixer was used and how funds were processed.

Once we identify exchanges that received stolen funds, we provide you with evidence packages suitable for law enforcement reports, civil subpoenas, or direct exchange contact (some exchanges have fraud reporting processes). For significant amounts, attorneys can pursue civil discovery to identify account holders.

Costs depend on case complexity, urgency, and amount involved. Emergency cases requiring immediate response have higher rates. We offer free initial consultations to assess your case and provide accurate quotes. For cases involving significant losses, investigation fees are often a small fraction of potential recovery.

Recovery success depends on many factors: how quickly investigation starts, whether funds reached identifiable exchanges, the jurisdiction involved, and law enforcement cooperation. Cases where funds reached major exchanges within days have the best outcomes. We provide honest assessments of recovery likelihood during consultation.

Yes, we provide detailed investigation reports that document the fraud for insurance claims. Our reports include transaction evidence, timeline reconstruction, and loss quantification that insurance adjusters require for cryptocurrency theft claims.
