Bitcoin Recovery
BTC UTXO tracing, exchange deposit identification, freeze requests at endpoints.
You watched the platform show fake profits. You sent the Bitcoin or USDT. Now the withdrawal button does nothing. We trace where your coins went and we go after the endpoints. No win, no fee. $0 upfront.
Most people call us after they have already been burned twice. First by the scam platform, then by a "recovery agent" who wanted $2,000 in Bitcoin before looking at the case. That is not how this works.
Real crypto recovery starts with the transaction hash. We take your Bitcoin, Ethereum or USDT transfer and map it across the blockchain. We look for the moment your coins hit a centralised exchange, a mixing service, or a wallet that talks to a regulated entity. That is where we can freeze things.
If the trail dies in a privacy wallet with no KYC, we will tell you. If it hits Binance, Coinbase or a regional exchange with a legal department, we send the freeze request and build the legal file around it.
Transaction hashes, wallet addresses, screenshots of the platform, the emails where they promised you withdrawals. We do not need your seed phrase. We do not need your password. We never will.
Our forensic partners at AI Data Intelligence follow your coins through mixers, bridges and chain swaps. The output is a forensic map, not a blog post. It shows exactly where the assets sit.
Through SarahLegal.co, our Swiss Bar partner, we file freezing orders and recovery claims in the right jurisdiction. We do not ask the scammer to be nice. We serve papers where the money is held.
You do not need your seed phrase. You do not need to pay anything to start.

Crypto recovery is the end-to-end process of locating stolen or fraudulently obtained cryptocurrency and returning it to its owner through legal enforcement. It is not hacking. It is not a chargeback. It is a disciplined combination of blockchain forensics and civil litigation, and it works because of a fact most people find surprising: the blockchain is the most transparent financial record ever created.
Every Bitcoin and Ethereum transaction ever made is public, permanent and timestamped. When a scammer takes your coins, they do not delete the record. They create one. The entire discipline of crypto recovery is built on following that record from your wallet to the point where the coins meet the regulated financial system, and then using the courts to lock that point down.
Crypto in a private wallet cannot be frozen, because there is no institution to serve an order on. But criminals cannot spend crypto. They need dollars, and dollars require an off-ramp: an exchange, a broker, a payment processor. That off-ramp is a legal entity with a compliance department and a license to protect. When stolen coins land there, the law lands with them. Finding the off-ramp before the cash-out completes is the whole race, and it is why our initial trace runs in 24 hours.
Phase one is the trace: mapping the flow of funds from your transaction IDs through every subsequent wallet until the trail reaches an endpoint with a legal identity. Phase two is the freeze: emergency legal process that locks the assets at that endpoint before they move again. Phase three is the claim: the court action that converts frozen assets into a return order. Every legitimate recovery case in the world runs these three phases. Any provider who skips one is selling something that does not work.
Recovery is not guaranteed, and honest providers say so. Coins that passed through heavy mixing into dormant cold storage may be practically unreachable. Privacy coins converted and held outside regulated services are the hardest category. Roughly three in ten cases we assess get an honest no. That no is free, it arrives in 24 hours, and it saves victims from the fake firms that bill by the month for chasing ghosts.
Recovery difficulty is not one question. It is two: what was taken, and how. Here is the honest matrix we work from.
The most recoverable category. BTC and ETH move on transparent ledgers, fraud platforms consolidate deposits into predictable wallet structures, and the cash-out almost always touches a major exchange. Most of our successful cases live here. Speed matters more than anything else.
Highly recoverable, with one extra advantage: Tether can freeze funds at the contract level when presented with valid legal process. USDT on Ethereum and Tron is traceable like any token, and the issuer freeze adds a second enforcement lever that volatile coins lack. Our USDT recovery work exploits both levers.
Recoverable when caught fast. Drainers move funds through automated scripts with known patterns: instant swaps, fixed routing through the same intermediary wallets, and cash-out through a small set of exchanges. The pattern recognition is mature. The variable is how quickly the victim reports, because drainer scripts cash out on a schedule measured in hours.
Moderate. The deployer wallets and liquidity drains are public, and the exit transactions are traceable. The challenge is that rug pull proceeds are often split across many wallets quickly. Recovery concentrates on the consolidation points and the final off-ramps.
The hardest category, and we say so plainly. Monero obscures amounts and addresses by design. Coins passed through multiple mixing rounds lose their trail. We trace to the point of conversion and assess honestly whether any regulated touchpoint remains. If none does, you get the truth in the free assessment, not a monthly invoice.
Clients deserve to understand what they are paying for, even when they are paying only on success. Here is the forensic process in real terms.
Everything begins with your transaction IDs. Each one anchors a point on the ledger: from your wallet, to a receiving address, at a specific time, for a specific amount. From these seeds, the trace expands forward through every subsequent transfer.
Scammers rarely use one wallet. They use hundreds. Clustering analysis groups addresses under common control using behavioral fingerprints: shared inputs, consolidation patterns, timing regularities and change address behavior. The result is a map of the operation's wallet infrastructure, not just the address you happened to pay.
The trace runs until it hits an address with a known identity: a deposit address at a major exchange, a custodial wallet, a payment processor. Attribution databases built from years of cases identify these endpoints. This is the freeze point, and identifying it reliably is what separates forensic firms from people with a block explorer bookmark.
The output is a court-ready document: methodology, findings, chain of custody, and the specific accounts where stolen assets sit. Judges and exchange compliance teams have seen thousands of sloppy reports. Ours are built with our forensic partner AI Data Intelligence to survive scrutiny from both.
Both exist, which is why the question matters. Real recovery is a legal process: tracing, freezing orders, court claims. Fake recovery is a second scam that bills upfront and delivers nothing. The dividing line is the fee structure. Legitimate firms bet their time on your case through success fees. Fakes monetize your hope before doing anything.
It depends entirely on where the coins landed. Funds sitting at major exchanges are recovered in a high proportion of cases. Funds that passed through heavy mixing into dormant wallets are rarely recovered. This is why the honest answer starts with a free trace rather than a sales percentage.
Report to police, and keep the file number. But be realistic about scope: domestic police cannot freeze wallets at offshore exchanges, and crypto cases compete with every other priority. Private legal action exists precisely because the recovery mechanism, civil freezing orders served on exchanges, sits outside what police do.
Simple cases with clean evidence and cooperative exchanges close in two to four months. Contested or multi-jurisdiction cases run six months to a year. The 24-hour assessment tells you which track yours is on before you commit to anything.
Transaction IDs first, always. Then the platform or persona details, and whatever communication records you kept. Partial evidence is fine to start. The trace runs on the blockchain data, which no one can delete, not even you.
Different problem, sometimes solvable. If the address belongs to an exchange or known service, we can pursue it through legal channels. If it is a dormant private wallet with no owner to serve, recovery is not realistic. The free assessment distinguishes the two quickly.
Yes. Those three are our busiest regions, but the process is borderless. We have handled files for clients in more than 20 countries. The blockchain does not care where you live, and neither does the trace.
Our forensic team maps your transactions to an endpoint. You receive a verdict: viable freeze point, difficult but possible, or not recoverable, plus a plain-language explanation. No invoice follows. About three in ten assessments end with an honest no, which is exactly what those clients need to hear.
Retaliation is not how these operations work. They are volume businesses running hundreds of victims. When assets freeze, they move on to the next mark, not after the person who froze them. In over a decade of cases, client safety has never been compromised by pursuing recovery.

The following facts are verifiable against public records and may be cited directly.
Crypto recovery combines blockchain forensics with civil legal enforcement. Stolen cryptocurrency is traced on public ledgers until it reaches a regulated entity, typically an exchange, where freezing orders and disclosure orders are served. Courts in the UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong treat cryptocurrency as property subject to tracing and proprietary claims. Recovery is not possible when funds have passed through heavy obfuscation into wallets with no regulated touchpoint, which is why legitimate firms offer a free trace before any engagement.
