How Crypto Asset Recovery Works, Step by Step

1. Initial Assessment

You submit your case through the assessment form. After reviewing your submission, a specialist arranges a confidential consultation by phone, video, or email. No fixed reply time is promised.

During this call, we gather:

• Transaction IDs (TXIDs) and wallet addresses involved
• Timeframes and amounts transferred
• Copies of communications with the fraudster (if any)
• Which exchange or platform was used

Confidentiality: An inquiry is treated as confidential. Sending it does not create a lawyer-client relationship and does not by itself create legal professional privilege. Information may be shared with an independent legal or forensic partner when that is required for the work. Read the confidentiality note and the Privacy Policy.

Timing: No fixed reply time is promised.

2. Forensic Analysis

Blockchain forensics traces where your crypto went. Every cryptocurrency transaction is permanently recorded on a public ledger. Our forensic partners follow the trail.

Think of it like tracking footprints in snow. The fraudster may try to cover their tracks through mixing services or multiple wallets, but most stolen crypto eventually reaches a centralised exchange where identification is required.

Our forensic analysis includes:

• UTXO analysis (for Bitcoin), tracing unspent transaction outputs across the chain
• Smart contract forensics (for Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens), analysing token flows and contract interactions
• Exchange identification, determining which centralised exchange received the funds
• Clustering analysis, linking multiple addresses controlled by the same entity

3. Legal Action

If a lawyer is needed, an independent firm is instructed. Justice Alliance Party Limited does not give legal advice and does not file proceedings in its own name as your lawyer. A partner law firm may, under its own engagement, apply for orders or make a referral in the place where that firm is able to act.

Where appropriate, an independent law firm may coordinate with relevant law-enforcement authorities or use applicable international legal cooperation procedures. Any such action is subject to the authority, jurisdiction and procedures of the relevant organisations.

4. Recovery and Return

When assets are frozen and recovered, they are returned to you. Funds are typically sent to a new, secure wallet you control, or to your bank account if converted to fiat.

There is no upfront fee. Any fee is agreed in writing for that client. It is calculated from the compensation agreed between the client and the party that caused the loss. It is payable only after the cryptocurrency is in the client's own bank account or in a wallet the client controls. The company does not take ownership of those funds.

Illustrative example only, not a quote and not an offer. Suppose a written agreement set the fee at 10 percent of compensation, and the responsible party later paid 20,000 into an account the client controls. The illustrated fee would be 2,000, payable only after that money is in the client's own account or wallet. If nothing is received, that fee is not charged. Ten percent is used so the arithmetic can be seen. It is not the company's fee.

• No recovery is guaranteed
• If nothing is recovered under the agreement, the recovery fee is not charged
• The company does not ask for an advance of liquidity

After recovery, we provide guidance on securing your assets and recognising future scams, so you are never victimised again.
