Guide to Crypto and Blockchain: Crypto Asset Recovery

Crypto Asset Recovery

Cryptocurrency can offer financial freedom and with that an ability to send funds anywhere in the world within seconds, but it also comes with unique risks. The decentralized nature of blockchain technology makes recovering lost or stolen assets particularly challenging. If you’ve been the victim of crypto theft, fraud, or accidental loss, our law firm helps clients navigate the complex legal and technical pathways to recover their digital assets

Legal Advocacy and Case Assessment

• Evaluating the likelihood of recovery based on available evidence and blockchain data.

• Advising on legal options, including civil litigation or criminal complaints.

Common Crypto Scenarios We Handle

Our firm has experience dealing with a variety of cryptocurrency-related cases, including:

• Theft and Fraud: Scams involving phishing, fake investment platforms, Sim Swaps, Wallet hacks, and Ponzi schemes.

• Misplaced or Inaccessible Funds: Lost private keys or forgotten seed phrases.

• Disputes and Legal Claims: Disputes over ownership of shared wallets or assets.

• Business-Related Losses: Fraud or theft involving corporate cryptocurrency holdings.

Steps to Take if You’ve Lost Cryptocurrency

If you’ve lost cryptocurrency, here are the steps you should take immediately:

1. Document Everything: Record all transaction details, including wallet addresses, transaction IDs, and any correspondence related to the loss.

2. Secure Your Accounts: If your loss involved hacking, secure your remaining accounts, including any non-crypto accounts, such as bank accounts, by changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication.

3. Report the Incident: File a report with local law enforcement and file an IC3 Form with the FBI to create an official record.

4. Consult an Attorney: Reach out to a law firm experienced in cryptocurrency recovery to assess your options and develop a recovery strategy.

Techniques we can employ to recover Crypto

Every case is fact-dependent, so it is impossible to explain how we will work with your case in a blog post. However, there are some common techniques that can be employed across most cases. However, remember, nothing is ever guaranteed and there are many "scam” asset recovery services out there. So be wary of anyone who promises results. Nonetheless, we can:

1. Work with law enforcement to try and freeze crypto-assets

2. Work with banks and other financial institutions, as frequently assets are transferred out of wallets and immediately sold and converted into cash

3. Work with Tether and Circle to freeze stablecoins

4. Evaluate the case to determine if a lawsuit is appropriate under the circumstances.

5. Potentially obtain a Temporary Restraining Order if the funds have been moved to any centralized exchanges.
