Five disciplines, one investigative method

Every matter starts by establishing what actually happened, then what can be proved. Each page below sets out the method, the deliverables and the limitations, because the limitations are the part that determines whether hiring anyone is worth your money.

We reconstruct the path your funds took from the moment they left your control, identify where they came to rest, and establish whether that destination is somewhere a court or a compliance team can actually reach.

Initial trace within 5 to 10 business days of engagementRead the method

Suited for

  • Funds sent to a fraudulent platform or wallet
  • Wallet compromise and drainer incidents
  • Business email compromise settled in crypto
  • Misappropriation by an insider or a former partner

Fake trading platforms are the most common matter we see. The work is establishing who operates the platform, where deposits actually went, and which of the available routes, criminal referral, civil action or exchange-level intervention, is worth pursuing.

Assessment within 5 business days, full report in 2 to 3 weeksRead the method

Suited for

  • Fake trading, mining or staking platforms
  • Relationship-led investment fraud, often called pig butchering
  • Fraudulent token or presale offerings
  • Withdrawal blocked behind a demand for a fee, tax or deposit

The cheapest investigation is the one done before the money moves. We verify that a counterparty, platform or investment opportunity is what it claims to be, and we tell you plainly when the answer is that we cannot verify it at all.

Standard report in 3 to 5 business days, expedited availableRead the method

Suited for

  • Before sending funds to a new platform or counterparty
  • Pre-investment checks on a token, fund or venture
  • Verifying an unsolicited opportunity
  • Confirming that a recovery firm approaching you is legitimate

Sextortion, ransom demands and sustained online harassment are handled as investigations, not as negotiations. The immediate priority is containment and evidence preservation; the objective is attribution and a route to enforcement.

Containment advice same day, attribution work in 1 to 2 weeksRead the method

Suited for

  • Sextortion and intimate image threats
  • Ransom demands payable in cryptocurrency
  • Sustained targeted harassment or doxxing
  • Impersonation of you or your business

Fraudulent platforms are rarely built once. We examine a site or application to determine who operates it, where it is hosted, what it is built from, and which other properties share the same fingerprints.

Report in 4 to 7 business daysRead the method

Suited for

  • Identifying the operator of a fraudulent platform
  • Brand and trademark misuse
  • Phishing infrastructure targeting your customers
  • Establishing the scale of an operation before deciding whether to act

Not sure which of these you need?

Describe what happened in plain language. Part of triage is telling you which discipline applies, or that none of them do and you should keep your money.

Start with free triage

Tell us what happened. We will tell you if it is worth pursuing.

Triage costs nothing and commits you to nothing. You get a written assessment of whether the trail is live enough to act on, and if it is not, you get told that too.

No obligation. No upfront fee at triage. No promise of recovery.
