Frequently Asked Questions

Time is critical in cryptocurrency investigations. The sooner we begin tracing stolen funds, the better the chances of recovery. Ideally, contact us within hours of discovering the theft. We can immediately begin notifying exchanges and implementing strategies to freeze stolen assets before they're converted or mixed.

We need transaction IDs, wallet addresses, timestamps, and any communication with scammers. Screenshots of transactions, emails, messages, and any platform interactions are helpful. The more documentation you provide, the stronger our investigation and better our chances of asset recovery.

Yes, despite common misconceptions, most cryptocurrency transactions are traceable. Using advanced blockchain forensics tools, we can follow funds through multiple wallets, identify exchange deposits, trace through mixers and tumblers, and often identify the ultimate recipients. Even privacy coins can sometimes be traced under certain circumstances.
