Crypto scams and fraudulent transfers
Review investment scams, fake trading platforms, impersonation schemes, wallet compromise and suspected unauthorised transactions.
Digital Asset Investigation
Crypto Fraud Investigation & Asset Tracing
Trace cryptocurrency transactions, identify relevant service touchpoints and document where attribution or recovery may stop.
The Brief
A wallet address shows where cryptocurrency moved, not necessarily who controls it. CPIS separates confirmed transaction facts from attribution, which may only become possible when funds reach a service with reliable customer or account records.
Who this is for
Built for sensitive,
high-stakes situations.
- 01Individuals who have lost cryptocurrency through an investment, impersonation or relationship scam
- 02Companies investigating unauthorised transfers, insider activity or digital asset misconduct
- 03Law firms and recovery teams that need a documented transaction trail
- 04Insolvency, compliance and insurance professionals reviewing cryptocurrency exposure

Investigation scope
Following the digital evidence.
02
On-chain transaction tracing
Map movements between wallet addresses and organise the relevant transaction paths. A wallet address is never treated as proof of a person's identity on its own.
03
Service touchpoints and attribution
Identify known exchanges and other services that may hold customer records. Access to KYC information or freeze action normally requires a formal request through the service, law enforcement or legal process.
04
Obfuscation and evidential dead ends
Assess chain hopping, bridges, decentralised exchanges, mixers, privacy tools and no-KYC venues that can obscure the trail or prevent reliable attribution.
Methodology
Discreet. Lawful. Evidence-driven.
- 01
Client and case screening
We confirm the instructing party, the lawful purpose of the trace and their relationship to the matter before reviewing transaction hashes, wallet addresses, platform records and messages.
- 02
Transaction mapping
Relevant on-chain movements are organised into a clear chronology, with known service touchpoints, cross-chain movements and limits recorded separately.
- 03
Corroboration and formal escalation
Blockchain findings are checked against available records and reliable service labels. Requests for customer data or asset freezes must follow the appropriate exchange compliance, law enforcement or legal channel.
- 04
Reporting with clear limits
The report distinguishes confirmed paths, possible attribution, unresolved addresses and evidential dead ends, then sets out practical next steps for counsel, exchanges or law enforcement.
Deliverables
Clear, usable findings.
- 01Transaction chronology and wallet schedule
- 02Fund-flow visualisation for relevant transactions
- 03Identified service touchpoints and formal escalation options
- 04Source-referenced findings with confidence levels and limitations
- 05Unresolved paths and evidential dead ends stated clearly
- 06Confidential report and case briefing for professional advisers, where requested
Tracing, attribution and recovery
A transaction trail may end before a person is identified.
CPIS traces until the evidence reaches an identifiable service touchpoint or no longer supports reliable continuation. Mixers, privacy-focused assets, chain hopping and no-KYC services can prevent attribution. Freezing or returning funds is a separate, time-sensitive process led by an exchange, law enforcement agency or court. No outcome or recovery is guaranteed.
