Methodology walkthrough. Client details are withheld and no recovery outcome is implied.

The situation

A holder entered their seed phrase into a convincing phishing site; within minutes the wallet was emptied across several transactions.

Our approach

  • Mapped the draining transactions and the consolidation wallet that received them.
  • Flagged the approval and transfer signatures characteristic of automated drainers.
  • Traced onward movement toward known off-ramp services.

What we can honestly describe

Speed matters most here. Early documentation of the drain path preserves the clearest version of the trail for exchange and law-enforcement escalation. We provide rigorous investigation and honest counsel, not guarantees. Request an assessment.
