How We Recover Stolen Crypto

A transparent, step-by-step look at the AI-driven fund recovery process used by our Hong Kong-licensed legal team.

Four-Phase Recovery

Our Proven Recovery Framework

Every case follows a structured methodology designed to maximise the probability of asset recovery while maintaining full legal compliance.

1

Case Intake & Preliminary Analysis

You submit your case details through our secure, encrypted form. Within 24 hours, a senior analyst reviews the transaction history, identifies the blockchain(s) involved, and provides an initial assessment of recoverability.

We collect wallet addresses, transaction hashes, screenshots of communications with the fraudulent entity, and any KYC documentation you may have provided to the scam platform.

AI-Powered Blockchain Tracing

Our proprietary AI systems initiate a comprehensive on-chain analysis. Using graph-theory algorithms and address-clustering techniques, we trace the movement of stolen funds across:

  • Ethereum, Bitcoin, and EVM-compatible chains
  • Coin mixers and privacy protocols
  • Decentralised exchanges (DEXs)
  • Centralised exchange deposit addresses
3

Legal Action & Freezing Orders

When funds are traced to a centralised exchange, our legal team acts immediately. Depending on the jurisdiction, we file:

  • Emergency Mareva injunctions (UK, Australia, HK)
  • Norwich Pharmacal orders to compel exchanges to disclose user data
  • Preservation orders under civil and criminal law
  • Subpoenas for compliance documentation and transaction logs
4

Asset Repatriation & Settlement

The final phase involves the legal return of assets. Depending on the jurisdiction and the cooperation of the exchange, funds can be:

  • Directly transferred to the victim's verified wallet
  • Held in court-supervised escrow via smart contract
  • Settled through negotiated agreements with the exchange

What Types of Scams Can We Recover From?

Our team has experience recovering funds from a broad range of crypto fraud scenarios, including but not limited to:

  • Fraudulent Exchanges: Platforms that appear legitimate but freeze withdrawals, manipulate balances, or disappear entirely (exit scams).
  • Investment Scams / Ponzi Schemes: "High-yield" crypto investment programs that promise unrealistic returns and collapse when new deposits dry up.
  • Romance Scams ("Pig Butchering"): Emotional manipulation schemes where victims are guided into depositing funds on fake trading platforms.
  • Phishing Attacks: Wallet drains caused by signing malicious transactions or granting token approvals to fraudulent contracts.
  • Rug Pulls: DeFi token projects where developers withdraw all liquidity, leaving token holders with worthless assets.
  • SIM-Swap Attacks: Where attackers hijack phone numbers to bypass two-factor authentication and drain exchange accounts.

Technologies We Use

Our AI tracing infrastructure combines several state-of-the-art capabilities:

  • On-Chain Graph Analysis: Mapping the flow of funds through thousands of addresses to identify patterns and endpoint clusters.
  • Address Clustering Algorithms: Using heuristics to link multiple addresses to a single controlling entity.
  • Cross-Chain Bridge Tracking: Following funds that move between Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, and other Layer 2 networks.
  • Exchange Attribution Databases: Matching deposit addresses to known centralized exchange wallets.
  • Darknet Monitoring: Identifying stolen data or credentials being sold on darknet marketplaces that relate to the fraud operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the recovery process cost?

For qualifying cases, we work on a success-based fee model — meaning you only pay a percentage of the recovered amount. There are no upfront legal fees for the recovery process. However, court filing fees and jurisdictional costs may apply.

How long does recovery typically take?

The timeline varies significantly based on the complexity of the tracing, the jurisdictions involved, and the cooperation of the exchanges. Simple cases with funds on a major exchange can be resolved in 4–8 weeks. Complex multi-jurisdictional cases may take 3–6 months.

Is my case too small for recovery?

We generally accept cases involving losses of $10,000 USD or more. For smaller amounts, the legal costs may exceed the potential recovery. However, we encourage you to submit your details — every case is assessed individually, and exceptions are made based on the specifics.

What information do I need to provide?

The more information you can provide, the better. Ideally, we need: wallet addresses involved, transaction hashes, screenshots of communications with the scam platform, any KYC documents you submitted, and a timeline of events.
