How Our Recovery Process Works

A detailed walkthrough of our systematic approach to cryptocurrency recovery, from initial assessment through fund retrieval and legal action.

The Recovery Timeline

Phase 1: Initial Assessment (24 hours)

Goal: Rapid case evaluation and evidence collection
Actions: Case intake, evidence review, blockchain analysis initiation, perpetrator identification, asset tracking on-chain

Phase 2: Blockchain Forensics (3-7 days)

Goal: Map complete transaction flow and identify recipients
Actions: Trace funds through mixers/bridges, identify exchange addresses, map perpetrator wallet infrastructure, determine legal jurisdiction of funds

Phase 3: Exchange Coordination (7-14 days)

Goal: Secure emergency holds on identified accounts
Actions: Contact exchanges with law enforcement cooperation letters, coordinate account freezes, establish chain of custody for funds, gather exchange KYC data on perpetrators

Phase 4: Legal Action (14-30 days)

Goal: Pursue civil and criminal recovery channels
Actions: File evidence with law enforcement, prepare asset recovery lawsuit, serve legal notices to exchanges holding funds, coordinate with international authorities if needed

Phase 5: Fund Recovery (30-90 days)

Goal: Retrieve recovered assets
Actions: Obtain court orders forcing fund release, coordinate wire transfers, manage tax documentation, verify fund receipt in client accounts

Our Technical Process

Blockchain Analysis

Using proprietary tools and Etherscan/Blockscan APIs, we trace every transaction across blockchains. We identify mixer usage, cross-chain bridges, and exchange deposits with millisecond precision.

Perpetrator Identification

We correlate wallet addresses with public records, domain registrations, email forensics, and social media profiles. OSINT research identifies the individuals and organizations behind addresses.

Exchange Coordination

Leveraging our relationships with 50+ exchanges, we initiate emergency holds on identified accounts. We provide exchanges with legal documentation enabling rapid fund freezing before withdrawal.

Evidence Packaging

We prepare comprehensive forensic reports suitable for law enforcement prosecution and civil litigation. Reports include transaction timelines, perpetrator identification, and damage calculations.

Multi-Jurisdiction Coordination

For international fraud, we coordinate with Interpol, foreign law enforcement, and international asset recovery networks. We navigate jurisdictional complexities to enable legal recovery action.

Fund Recovery Execution

Once funds are frozen, we manage the legal process of obtaining release orders. We handle all coordination with exchanges and banks to execute wire transfers to legitimate claimants.

Success Factors & Recovery Probability

Scenario Recovery Probability Timeline Key Factors
Exchange deposit (recent) 78-92% 30-60 days Rapid identification and exchange cooperation
DEX/Wallet (non-custodial) 15-35% 45-180 days Requires criminal prosecution and asset seizure
Multi-chain bridges 25-50% 60-120 days Bridge liquidity and cross-chain coordination
Mixer usage 5-20% 90-180 days Requires law enforcement cooperation and luck
Delayed reporting (>30 days) Reduces by 60-80% Extended timeline Funds already moved or cashed out
Critical Insight: The first 24-72 hours are decisive. Funds move rapidly through exchanges and mixers. Every hour of delay significantly reduces recovery probability. We require immediate action upon engagement.
