Outcomes
Where funds went
Blockchain forensics can reconstruct the full movement of cryptocurrency from the point of loss or misappropriation to its current location - across as many hops, chains, and protocols as the evidence supports.
Exchange cash-out points
Tracing can identify where funds were deposited to centralised exchanges - establishing potential cash-out points and supporting disclosure requests to platforms that may hold account information.
Wallet ownership indicators
On-chain analysis can produce ownership indicators linking wallets to individuals or entities - through clustering, behavioural patterns, and correlation with known information. Findings are documented with clear limitations.
Evidentiary limits
Blockchain analysis has limits - particularly through mixers, privacy coins, and incomplete data. We document what the evidence supports and what it cannot prove, so findings are interpreted correctly in legal proceedings.
Recovery prospects
We provide an honest assessment of whether civil or criminal recovery action is viable based on tracing findings - including whether assets remain reachable, where cash-out occurred, and what further steps may be required.
Track record
