Methodology walkthrough. Client details are withheld and no recovery outcome is implied.
The situation
An investor was directed to a trading platform that claimed only an offshore incorporation and held no verifiable financial license — the same profile we document across much of our registry. After several deposits, withdrawals were blocked behind a demand for a release fee.
Our approach
- Intake. We captured every deposit transaction hash, the receiving addresses, and the platform correspondence.
- Tracing. We followed the deposits from the victim wallet through intermediary addresses to the consolidation wallets where the operator pooled client funds.
- Attribution. We identified the exchange endpoints where the pooled funds were moved off-chain.
The outcome we can honestly describe
The result of this kind of work is a documented evidence package and identified touchpoints for escalation to exchange compliance and law enforcement. We do not promise that funds will be returned; we provide the factual basis that any realistic effort requires. Request an assessment.
