  • Does CryptoConsultz submit cases to law enforcement?
    While we do not submit cases to law enforcement directly, the information we provide during our investigation helps guide law enforcement, reduces the case workload, and increases the chances that your case will be picked up. Clients must report their cases directly, but CryptoConsultz provides the details law enforcement needs to build the case.
  • What percentage of clients have you recovered funds for?
    CryptoConsultz has been in business since 2017. We have had many cases resulting in recovery, but legal processes can be slow. It can often take a year or longer, so the path to recovery isn’t immediate. We offer a case liaison service where we work with law enforcement throughout the process for and with you, keeping you updated as there’s progress. If you choose not to participate in this service, we typically won’t hear the results of your case. So, data on ultimate case recovery isn’t always available to us. It's important to understand how and when crypto assets are recovered by law enforcement. Scammers can be on their own timelines.
  • What are the chances I’ll get my money back?
    CryptoConsultz launched because only a tiny percentage of cases submitted to the authorities are actually picked up. This is due to confusing or incomplete information. Clients experiencing a scam have ONE chance to make their case. We are here to give clients the best possible chance at recovery. It is a big misconception that, if you’ve been the victim of a scam, your money is lost for good. CryptoConsultz gives you the best chance of recovery. With crypto being such a new asset class, accurate statistics on recovery are not publicly available and each case is unique. Chances of recovery are very dependent on what we uncover during each client’s investigation. While we do not guarantee recovery, we guarantee we’ll give you a fighting chance. Whether you work with CryptoConsultz or someone else, please avoid ANY companies that will guarantee fund recovery. Secondary scams are prevalent in the industry and anyone telling you you’re guaranteed recovery is likely trying to scam you. We pride ourselves in being transparent with the realities of your case throughout the process and we will never recommend services unless we believe that doing so will increase the likelihood of recovery. Providing objective data to law enforcement is the single most important thing you can do to give your case the greatest chance of success. If you do not provide the appropriate information, you have little to no chance of recovery. You must provide all wallet addresses, transaction IDs, and a full transaction history report when you submit. Ideally, you’ll also provide wallet tracing analytics and a full crypto forensic report. We can assist you in gathering this information and more! With each step in our crypto recovery process, you increase your chances of recovery.
  • The cost of your services seems high, why is that?
    We understand that the cost of our services seems high, especially since this is a traumatic experience for our clients. However, we hope you understand tracing crypto assets through various exchange platforms and wallets, and analyzing dozens of transactions is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. We don’t just analyze your wallets, we trace the flow of funds from your wallet through dozens or hundreds of other wallets. Our team has years of experience in blockchain forensics. We assist in asset tracing not only for law enforcement but for attorneys and accountants as well. We are experts at interpreting the flow of your funds from wallets and exchange accounts.
  • What are your long term success rates reporting to law enforcement?
    Remember that crypto is a new industry, therefore, we do not yet have data on long-term success rates. Often, scammers will hold onto funds, knowing wallets with illegal activity are being watched. Months or years might go by before a scammer attempts to turn their crypto into cash. In order to “cash out” a scammer will need to provide their private information (name, address, bank account) to a legitimate crypto exchange. It’s at this point law enforcement can intervene. So, even if a case is not solved in the first year, this doesn't mean it won’t succeed in the future. Scammers are rapidly evolving their tactics, but law enforcement is evolving along with them. Their ability to track down, prosecute, and recover stolen assets is improving dramatically. The key is to get your case information into their database in a way that will allow them to monitor the scammer's wallets and/or connect your wallet to a larger ring of scammers.
  • Can I report my case directly to the authorities?
    While you can absolutely report to authorities without CryptoConsultz, a very high percentage of people attempting to report directly DO NOT provide the appropriate information in the appropriate format.
  • What if you don’t find enough information?
    We’ve not had a case where we have failed to find information that will be helpful to law enforcement. There are cases where our initial analysis does not support a more extensive investigation, at which point we will guide you on how to report using the information from the initial analysis. You must understand our efforts are twofold: damage control and recovery. Even if your case does not ultimately result in recovery, we will help you from falling victim to secondary scams and can help you minimize your tax burden by offsetting other income or capital gains. We’ve had dozens of clients who would have kept investing with the scammer had we not been there to support them and alert them they’ve been scammed. We’ve saved our clients over a million dollars in scam avoidance and offered much-needed support during their time of need. You are at risk! Many scam victims are targeted and then retargeted once you’ve fallen victim the first time. We can help you avoid being re-victimized and help you ensure your cyber security is up to par. See our Crypto Security Services for more details.
  • How does your forensics team track stolen cryptocurrency?
    Imagine your cryptocurrency like a digital treasure that's been stolen. The team uses special software to follow the path of your stolen cryptocurrency. Here's how they do it: Tracing the Path: First, our team looks at the digital wallet(s) you identify as yours. They use advanced tools to trace all addresses that have taken control of your assets after you’ve been scammed. It's like following digital breadcrumbs. Monitor the Wallets: Next, they keep a digital eye on the wallets controlling the stolen assets. Our team monitors these 24/7/365 and documents all activity.

Most scammers caught by law enforcement are caught in the exchange phase.
  • Phase Two- Forensics Intake & Tax Reconciliation/Strategy
    Analyze & Prep data: Transaction history reports will be organized by our staff, and the data prepared for our crypto forensics team & expert CPA. Report Losses/Tax Filings: Clients work with our crypto CPA, Alex, to find the best strategy for claiming the losses experienced.

We identify where the crypto ultimately lands and when the scammers are attempting to cash it out. This is where they are most likely discovered & apprehended by law enforcement. We’ll conduct an “off-chain” investigation as well, looking for information that may help identify your scammer that is not related to cryptocurrency. Through this service, you’ll receive a full forensic analysis report to submit to law enforcement. Our report uses the preferred methodologies law enforcement uses to run their investigations and provides guidance on the best avenues to proceed with the case. 2. Law Enforcement Case Liaison services: Our team has direct connections with cybercrime law enforcement personnel and can work with them directly on your behalf. Having a crypto legal expert to advocate for your case is highly valuable and takes much of the time, stress and burden off your shoulders knowing we’ve got your back. At a minimum, we recommend starting with #1, and we'll help you decide how to proceed from there.
  • Phase One- Data Gathering
    1. Gather Pertinent Data: We must gather a complete transaction history, including reports from any and all exchange accounts and wallets. The transaction history report should be in Excel or Google Sheets and include transaction dates, amounts, type of cryptocurrency, transaction ID (for crypto to crypto transactions), both sending and receiving wallet addresses ***Without these, you have almost zero chance of recovery. 2. Onboarding: Once the transaction report gathering is complete. The team will review and make recommendations. If a client chooses to move forward they will begin onboarding with the team. This is a one time fee of $300.
