Common Ways Bitcoin is Lost (And How We Can Help)

Bitcoin (BTC) is the primary target for crypto fraud due to its high value and market dominance. We specialize in investigating Bitcoin-specific cases, including:

Investment & Romance Scams

“Pig-butchering” schemes and fraudulent brokerage platforms that convince victims to transfer BTC to fake liquidity pools or trading accounts.

Phishing & Wallet Compromise

Malicious seed phrase extractors, fake websites, or malware that drain your Bitcoin wallet instantly.

Fake Exchange & Ponzi Schemes

Unregulated platforms promising high returns that block withdrawals and seize client deposits.

Ransomware & Extortion

Criminals demanding Bitcoin payments for data decryption or blackmail purposes.

We use a clear, structured approach to trace and recover lost Bitcoin:

  • Free Consultation & Case Assessment

    We review your case confidentially to determine if the Bitcoin is traceable and if recovery is viable. No cost, no obligation.

  • On-Chain Forensics & Tracing

    Our investigators trace the movement of your stolen Bitcoin through mixers, coinjoins, and distinct wallets using enterprise-grade blockchain analytics.

  • Off-Chain Investigation & Evidence Bundling

    We deanonymize wallet addresses by connecting on-chain data to real-world identities and prepare a comprehensive legal evidence report.

  • Recovery & Coordination

    We collaborate with centralized exchanges (VASPs), legal counsel, and law enforcement globally to freeze assets and pursue restitution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bitcoin Recovery

What are the chances of recovering my Bitcoin?

Recovery depends on where the funds end up. If the Bitcoin moves to a centralized exchange (KYC entity), recovery is possible. We provide a realistic assessment before taking any case.

How much does the service cost?

We operate on a transparent fee model. The initial consultation is completely free. Subsequent fees are discussed based on case complexity.

How long does recovery take?

Every case is different. Some are resolved in weeks, while others requiring international legal coordination may take months.

What if my Bitcoin was sent through a mixer?

Mixing services (like CoinJoin) make tracing harder but not impossible. We use advanced heuristics and de-mixing tools to identify probable exit points.

How do I know this is legitimate?

We are a corporate intelligence firm with a public team, physical offices, and verified partnerships. We operate under strict legal contracts, unlike anonymous “recovery agents” found on social media.
