Yes, cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, are virtually anonymous. However, each digital coin is made from a code on the blockchain. And this code can be decoded, revealing the names and addresses of a wallet owner.
Yet, doing something like this on your own is not relatively easy. That’s why you have crypto investigators and experts for the matter.
Here’s what the crypto investigation process looks like:
Before we can start the process, we need all the relevant information, including the evidence clients possess, such as written communication with the fraudster and screenshots of transactions.
Once you explain to us what happened and we can overview all the evidence, we will be able to understand if there is a case and how it can possibly be resolved in your favor.
Since all crypto transactions are performed through blockchain, we’re ensuring to provide you with an in-depth analysis of the transfer. We have advanced technology capable of tracking thousands of crypto transactions and decrypting the recipient’s wallet. We’re using OSINT, CYBINT, and FININT to analyze cases and find relatable cyber and financial intelligence solutions.
We’re adding human power to the equation. Besides software, we’re using our experts to follow the transaction to the final destination and trace down the owner of the funds.
After everything is done, we create a report including all the information. With this, you can report the case to the relevant authorities with our consultation.
We’re following you on the way to filing a complaint and review each step you take so that we can help you get a decision in your favor.
