Legal help · crypto theft · frozen accounts

Every transfer leaves a trail. We take it to the people who can freeze it.

Q: Can stolen crypto really be returned?

Sometimes. Blockchain transfers cannot be reversed, but when stolen funds reach an exchange or a stablecoin that can be frozen, they can be held and later returned by order of a court or the authorities. If the funds went to a wallet nobody controls in a known jurisdiction, the chances are low — and we will say so.

Your crypto was stolen, lost to a fake investment, or locked on an exchange that won't let you withdraw. We trace where it went, prepare the documents exchanges, police and courts act on, and pursue it through lawful channels.

Who we help

Three situations, three different legal routes

What we can do depends on what happened. Tell us which one is closest — we will tell you honestly whether there is a realistic route.

Theft & hacks

Crypto was stolen from your wallet or account

Drained wallet, leaked seed phrase, malicious approval
Hacked exchange account, SIM-swap
Speed matters: the first 24–72 hours give the best chance to freeze

Fraud

You were talked into a fake investment

Fake trading platforms, "pig butchering", romance scams
"Brokers" demanding taxes or fees to withdraw
OTC and P2P deals where the other side vanished

Frozen on exchange

An exchange is holding your funds

Account blocked after KYC / AML review, withdrawal refused
Funds frozen because of "tainted" incoming coins or sanctions screening
Exchange insolvency: filing and defending creditor claims

Tracing

How we trace the funds

Exchanges and police act on evidence they recognise. Our reports follow the format their compliance teams work with, and where a case needs it, we order analysis on the professional platforms below.

Chainalysis ReactorIndustry standard for investigators and exchange compliance; attribution of addresses to exchanges and services.
TRM LabsCross-chain tracing through bridges and swaps; widely used by law enforcement.
Crystal IntelligenceRisk scoring and exchange attribution, strong coverage of Eastern European and Asian services.
EllipticWallet and transaction screening used by banks and stablecoin issuers.
Public explorersEtherscan, Tronscan, BscScan, mempool.space — every hop in the report can be checked by anyone.

What you receive

A transaction graph from your wallet to every end point, with hashes and timestamps.
The list of exchanges and stablecoin issuers that received the funds, with amounts — this is who gets the freeze request.
A one-page summary for police and a full appendix for court.

Product names belong to their owners. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by these companies; they are named to show which evidence standards our reports follow.

Services

What we actually do

Blockchain tracing report

A court-ready report: transaction graph, end points, exchanges involved, and a short summary investigators can read in five minutes.

Freeze requests to exchanges

Written requests to compliance teams of the exchanges and stablecoin issuers that received the funds, backed by the trace and a police case number.

Police and cybercrime reports

Statements prepared for your country's police, FBI IC3, Action Fraud (UK) and EU national units — structured so they get registered and passed on.

Unblocking an exchange account

Source-of-funds packages, formal appeals, complaints to the exchange's regulator and ombudsman, and a pre-trial claim if the exchange stays silent.

Civil claims and court orders

Claims against identified wrongdoers and platforms, freezing injunctions, and orders requiring exchanges to disclose who controls an account.

Exchange bankruptcy claims

Help with creditor claims, identity checks on claims portals (FTX and others), tracking distributions and disputing how your balance was valued. Note: you can file a claim with the official claims agent yourself, free of charge.

Read this before you pay anyone

What we will never do

People who lost crypto are targeted a second time by fake "recovery" services. The FBI, FTC and UK FCA all warn about them. If anyone — including someone using our name — does any of this, stop.

Guarantee that your funds will come back.
Contact you first about a loss — by message, call or social media.
Ask for your seed phrase, private keys or remote access to your device.
Take payment in crypto, or ask for a fee to "release" recovered funds.
Say your case was "passed to the FBI" or that we act for any police or government body.
Claim we can "hack back" or reverse blockchain transactions.
Start paid work without a written agreement that lists the price and the scope.

Questions

Straight answers

Can stolen crypto really be returned?

Sometimes. Blockchain transfers can't be reversed, but when stolen funds reach an exchange or a stablecoin that can be frozen, they can be held and later returned by order of a court or the authorities. If the funds went to a wallet nobody controls in a known jurisdiction, the chances are low — and we will say so.

How fast do I need to act?

As fast as possible. Scammers move funds within hours to cash out. Write down transaction hashes and addresses, save all chats and screenshots, report to the police, and contact us the same day.

My exchange account is frozen. Is my money gone?

Usually not. Most freezes are compliance holds: the exchange wants to know where the funds came from. A well-prepared source-of-funds package and a formal appeal resolve many cases; if not, a regulator complaint and a legal claim follow.

What do I need to send you?

Transaction hashes (TXIDs), your wallet addresses, the addresses you sent to, the name of the platform or person involved, screenshots of chats, and any letters from the exchange. Never send your seed phrase or private keys — to anyone.

Do you take a percentage?

Tracing, freeze requests and reports have a fixed price (see Fees). For unblocking and court work we may agree a share of funds actually returned to you — 2.5% for unblocking, 15–20% in court — never a fee you have to pay before funds are "released".
