Cryptocurrency Scam — Partial Refund Recovered from Fraudsters

Online Fraud & Fund Recovery · 2025-05-13

Our client was defrauded through a cryptocurrency investment scheme. Although the full amount could not be recovered immediately, we secured a partial refund of the stolen funds and established a criminal case that continues to pursue full restitution.

The crypto investment fraud

The client invested in what appeared to be a legitimate cryptocurrency platform, following the advice of a 'financial consultant' encountered online. Over several weeks, the platform displayed growing profits. When the client tried to withdraw, the platform imposed escalating requirements — identity verification, tax payments, compliance fees — before ultimately becoming unreachable.

We engaged blockchain forensic analysis to trace the movement of the stolen assets. The analysis identified several wallet addresses associated with the fraudulent network. We filed a criminal complaint supported by the forensic report and requested precautionary measures targeting both fiat bank accounts and cryptocurrency exchanges where portions of the funds were identified.

Cryptocurrency is not anonymous — it is pseudonymous. With the right forensic tools and immediate legal action, we can trace assets across multiple wallet hops and identify the exchanges where funds are held.

Result

A partial refund was recovered for our client. The criminal proceedings are ongoing with the goal of full restitution. Our client's position is protected by the active criminal case.

Frequently asked questions

The perpetrators or the funds are abroad — can anything be done?

Yes. International cooperation instruments exist precisely for this. A foreign base makes things more complex, but not impossible.

What does the initial consultation cost?

The initial case review is free. Any fees are agreed transparently before we proceed.

How much does timing matter?

Enormously. Funds are moved quickly and the probability of recovery drops with every day that passes. Acting immediately makes a concrete difference.
