Recovery Time Frame – What to Expect?
Crypto asset recovery times vary depending on the complexity and specifics of the case. Tracing cryptocurrency is often the first step and can take days if the assets have been moved to a centralized exchange. If the crypto tokens or coins have not been moved, the investigator will need to monitor the assets until they are moved.
Legal recovery is a time-consuming process with many variables that are usually unknown at the beginning of a case.
Tracing can take as little as one to two weeks. However, full asset recovery may take months or even years, depending on the case. We recommend reporting the crime to law enforcement as soon as possible. If you would like to consider our team to assist with your case, contact us today and get your free consultation.
Recovering Stolen or Scammed Crypto
Our experienced investigators combine human intelligence (intrapersonal communication) and open-source intelligence (legally accessible and publicly available information) with advanced cyber tools to gather data that allows them to trace the movement of your funds.
We use blockchain analysis to follow your stolen crypto through various blockchains, exchanges, and financial networks. Once we locate the wallets where they pass through or end up, we provide a full report which may assist law enforcement and law firms to identify the owners. Linking wallet addresses to real-world entities is not only possible in the pseudo-anonymous world of cryptocurrencies. We are proud to be able to empower law enforcement and law firms to successfully identify the suspects that have received the crypto assets.
Once we identify the entity that controls the wallet the cryptocurrency was transferred to, we create a comprehensive report of actionable intelligence. We are proud to assist law enforcement in beginning the legal recovery of your crypto assets based on the report we compiled. In addition to providing intelligence, we are available to assist law enforcement with any questions they may have during the investigation.
We can also offer cybercrime training to law enforcement agents and legal professionals.

Additional FAQ
Can you guarantee recovery?
No investigator can guarantee any result from an investigation. Crypto criminals do their best to obfuscate the trail of the funds they steal from you. We do our best to untangle this trail.
Is crypto recovery legal?
Our investigators employ only ethical and legal methods. If we are asked to do something that is unethical or illegal, we will have to refuse.
Do you work with law enforcement?
Where applicable, we certainly do. Only law enforcement or a court of law can freeze funds pending an investigation. By freezing funds in time, we can prevent criminals from relocating and obfuscating them, increasing the chances of a successful recovery.
What if my funds were stolen years ago?
While it is possible to investigate older cases, it would only be recommended under certain circumstances.
Do you only recover Bitcoin?
No, we are investigators, and our investigations can assist law enforcement and legal professionals in finding, freezing, and recovering assets on 15 blockchains.
