End-to-end cryptocurrency fraud investigation — from the moment you lost funds to court-ready forensic evidence. We identify scammer wallet infrastructure, trace stolen funds across every blockchain, map OTC networks, and produce the documentation needed to escalate to law enforcement, attorneys, and exchanges.
Each fraud type uses a distinct laundering methodology. Our investigators are specialists in all of them — understanding exactly how funds move and where they surface.
Our investigators have compiled the most consistent warning patterns across thousands of crypto fraud cases. Recognising these early is crucial — but if you've already been scammed, investigation is still possible.
Our investigations combine deep on-chain forensics with OSINT, scammer infrastructure mapping, and legal documentation — producing evidence that stands up in court.
Within 90 minutes of contact, a senior investigator reviews all available evidence. We immediately check whether stolen funds are still moving — if so, we initiate live wallet monitoring and begin exchange freeze outreach before triage is complete.
We trace every transaction from the victim's wallet — across all chains, through bridges and mixers, through OTC desk clusters — to the final exchange deposit. Our blockchain transaction tracing identifies every wallet controlled by the scammer, building a complete fund-flow map.
Beyond blockchain data, we build a full intelligence picture: platform domain registration, IP infrastructure, Telegram group infiltration records, social media footprint, past victim forums, and dark web mentions — linking the scam operation to identifiable actors.
When stolen funds reach a centralized exchange, our crypto exchange intelligence identifies the specific exchange, deposit cluster, and — using our proprietary VASP database — often the sub-account. We prepare KYC disclosure requests and legal hold packages formatted for each exchange's compliance requirements.
A comprehensive court-ready forensic report is delivered — complete with transaction graph, scammer wallet attribution, OSINT findings, exchange endpoints, expert certification, and jurisdiction-specific legal escalation guidance for your attorney or law enforcement submission.
Every scam investigation concludes with a court-ready forensic evidence package — designed to support legal action, law enforcement referrals, and exchange freeze requests.

Pig butchering scams use romance manipulation to drive victims onto fake investment platforms. Funds are typically pooled in USDT and dispersed through Southeast Asian OTC networks before hitting exchanges. Our playbook includes platform infrastructure mapping, OTC desk identification, and full on-chain wallet clustering.
Romance scams involve long-term emotional manipulation. Scammers often use stolen profile photos and AI-generated personas. Bitcoin transfers are typically routed through mixing services before reaching P2P exchanges or centralized platforms. OSINT helps us link the persona to known scammer networks.
Sophisticated fraud platforms display professional interfaces, fake trading histories, and fabricated regulatory approvals. Victim deposits are immediately dispersed across multiple wallets and chains. Our multi-chain tracing covers every network simultaneously, identifying all exchange endpoints.
Wallet drainers use malicious smart contract approvals to steal all tokens and NFTs in a single transaction. The attacker infrastructure is sophisticated — using drainer-as-a-service platforms that handle hundreds of victims simultaneously. We identify the specific DaaS operator and all linked victim wallets.
DeFi rug pulls involve developers removing liquidity or exploiting hidden contract functions. The deployer wallet is carefully pre-funded through tumbled sources to prevent attribution. Our smart contract forensics and deployer de-anonymization have identified repeat actors behind multiple rugpulls.
AI trading fraud platforms use convincing dashboards, fabricated API connections to real exchanges, and social proof manipulation to justify large deposits. Funds are pooled and moved via OTC chains. Multiple scam operations share backend infrastructure — making attribution and evidence cross-linking very productive.

Every hour increases the distance between your money and justice. Our investigators are standing by 24/7 to triage your case and start tracing immediately.
Everything you need to know before starting a crypto scam investigation with our team.
We investigate all major crypto fraud types: pig butchering scams, romance scam crypto fraud, fake investment and trading platforms, wallet drainer attacks, MetaMask phishing, DeFi rug pulls, NFT theft, AI trading bot fraud, fake exchanges, OTC desk fraud, Telegram pump-and-dump schemes, and cloud mining scams. If you lost crypto to fraud and have a wallet address or transaction hash, we can begin an investigation.
Our emergency response team responds within 90 minutes around the clock. For active scams — where funds have moved within the last 24–72 hours — early action is critical. We can begin live wallet monitoring immediately and file preliminary exchange freeze requests before completing the full investigation, maximising the chance of intercepting funds before cashout.
We are a forensic investigation service — we provide blockchain evidence, not direct asset recovery. However, our blockchain forensic reports enable attorneys to file legal holds at exchanges, courts to issue asset freezing orders, and law enforcement to open criminal investigations that can lead to fund recovery. Many clients have successfully recovered funds through these legal mechanisms using our evidence. Be wary of any company that promises guaranteed crypto recovery without legal process — this is itself a common scam targeting fraud victims.
Minimum required: the wallet address you sent funds to, and the transaction hash (TXID). More information significantly helps — including the platform name, any communications with the scammer, exchange receipts, dates of transactions, and any other wallet addresses you were given. If you don't have a transaction hash, we can often retrieve it from block explorers using just the wallet address and approximate date.
Completely. All case information is treated as strictly confidential. We offer NDA signing on request. Many of our clients are professionals, executives, or individuals who have not yet reported to police — we handle all cases with full discretion. Your case details are never shared with third parties without your explicit written consent, except when filing legal hold requests to exchanges on your behalf.
Act immediately — do not send any more funds (even for "taxes", "fees", or "verification"). Screenshot everything: platform pages, chat logs, transaction confirmations. Record all wallet addresses and transaction hashes you were given. Do NOT move funds in your own wallet without consulting us first — this can complicate the trace. Contact us for emergency triage. Then report to your national cybercrime agency (FBI IC3 in the US, Action Fraud in the UK, ACCC in Australia) — our forensic report will support this report significantly.
Yes. Blockchain data is permanent — transactions from years ago are still fully traceable. While early action increases chances of a successful exchange freeze, investigations on older cases are still highly productive: they establish the evidence trail for legal proceedings, identify the criminal network, and position your case for law enforcement escalation. We have successfully built evidence from cases over 3 years old.
We offer an initial consultation and case assessment. Investigation fees depend on complexity — a straightforward USDT trace to a single exchange differs from a multi-chain, multi-year pig butchering investigation with OSINT and legal package preparation. All fees are quoted transparently before work begins. We do not operate on pure contingency, as this creates incentives to over-promise recovery outcomes. Structured payment options are available for complex cases.
To recover stolen cryptocurrency, the first step is a professional blockchain forensics investigation to trace where your funds went. Our crypto scam recovery service traces stolen crypto across all networks, identifies the exchange holding your funds, and prepares the legal evidence needed to file a freeze request and pursue recovery through the courts. The sooner you act, the higher the chance of successful stolen cryptocurrency recovery — we recommend contacting us within 72 hours of the theft.
Yes — pig butchering scam recovery is one of our most common case types. Pig butchering scams typically route USDT TRC20 through multiple wallets to OTC desks before hitting exchanges. Our pig butchering investigation service traces the complete fund flow, identifies the exchange endpoints, maps the OTC network, and prepares a court-ready evidence package for legal action. We have successfully traced pig butchering scam funds from cases involving losses from $10,000 to over $2 million.
