Uncovering Critical Information for Crypto Scam Recovery

Attributions & Associations

Blockchain intelligence software can gather ownership attribution details for analysis. While this information rarely reveals the personal identities of individual offenders, it can highlight key associations with criminal organizations or fraudulent schemes.

Address Clusters

A cluster refers to a group of cryptocurrency addresses managed by the same user or group. By expanding the investigation to include multiple addresses, our team of cybercrime specialists can gather more evidence to ensure successful recovery from crypto scams.

Verification Details

Many Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), cryptocurrency exchange platforms, and decentralized finance firms require identity verification information during the account creation process. If scammers have utilized these services for cryptocurrency transactions, their personal data can be accessed through civil subpoenas or criminal warrants, aiding in the recovery of funds lost to crypto scams.

IP Addresses

Blockchain surveillance systems can collect metadata to identify IP addresses associated with specific payments. An IP address can provide valuable insights into the physical location of the fraudster at the time of the transaction.

Transaction Volumes

The total value of cryptocurrency transactions can indicate the magnitude of a scam. Larger and more extensive schemes, due to the higher number of victims targeted, may warrant a class action lawsuit in civil court, attracting greater attention from the media and law enforcement officials.

Risk Profiles

Advanced algorithms can be employed to automatically assess the risk profile of a cryptocurrency address. Any interactions with certain entities, such as peer-to-peer exchanges or ransomware rings, will be flagged for further investigation.

Total Address Values

The amount of assets held in an offender’s cryptocurrency address can provide crucial information for successful recovery. A high-value address may be subject to a seizure warrant in criminal court or a Freezing or Garnishee Order in civil proceedings for cryptocurrency recovery.

By utilizing these methods and technologies, our professional team is equipped to uncover critical information, track down scammers, and facilitate the recovery of funds lost to crypto scams.

Tracking Down Assets

The objective of cryptocurrency tracing is to locate stolen assets and identify the individuals responsible for the fraud. While blockchain transactions may be anonymous, the wallet address used by the offender to cash out is not.

To uncover this crucial information for recovering funds from crypto scams, our investigators utilize advanced tracing software to track the flow of funds through a complex network of online transactions. Along the way, we meticulously identify suspicious patterns, navigate through decoys, and uncover significant connections to criminal operations. This meticulous process requires substantial time, resources, and expertise.

Identifying Cryptocurrency Scammers

Once we have identified the wallet address, the next step is to determine its owner. While some exchanges may cooperate with our investigators and share the identification of the wallet holder upon request, most exchanges require such requests to be made directly by law enforcement agencies.

Given that this is a relatively new form of crime, police responses can vary depending on jurisdiction, station, and individual officers. To streamline the process for law enforcement, we can provide a draft request letter to facilitate communication.

Assisting in Crypto Scam Recovery in Court

Once the police have obtained the personal details of the wallet holder, our team at Hilfbereich can support their efforts to recover your assets. We meticulously gather admissible evidence of the fraud, ensuring its suitability for use in court proceedings, and maximizing your chances of reclaiming your funds.
