Cryptocurrency is designed to operate outside of traditional financial systems. Because of this, it is a perfect tool for scammers and fraudsters. Using advanced tools and training, we can trace crypto assets as they move between wallets, making a recovery, through cooperation with law enforcement and the recipient exchanges, possible.
We have partnered with Chainalysis, an industry pioneer, to trace your cryptocurrency. Our experts use Chainalysis to locate ‘cash out points’ where funds are sent to centralised (third-party) exchanges. Crypto tracing helps identify those who obtained your cryptocurrency, aiding law enforcement investigations.
Additionally, if you qualify for a complaint against your bank or crypto exchange, we can represent you on a no-win, no-fee basis. This would run alongside our investigation and is a separate case that could help you get back your lost funds.
Cryptocurrency scams are devastating, leaving victims wondering if they’ll ever see their funds again. Our investigation traces the client’s cryptocurrency through the blockchain, pinpointing the last recorded location of the funds.
There is hope even if the trail goes cold on centralised cryptocurrency exchanges. These exchanges collect Know Your Customer (KYC) information. We provide you with all the evidence required to allow you to collaborate with law enforcement agencies and freeze any remaining funds in the scammer’s wallet or, if you are seeking prosecution, to unmask the culprits through a court order against ‘Persons Unknown’.
Navigating crypto scams requires expertise. As soon as you become aware of the scam you should seek legal assistance promptly. Tell CEL and let us help you reclaim your hard-earned funds. Law enforcement in the form of cybercrime agencies will take months if not years – if they investigate it at all, to produce the evidence that we produce in 14 working days. This evidence is necessary to engage with the exchange where your funds were last seen.
1. As soon as you become aware of the crypto scam, inform the police. They may be able to help, but they will also provide a crime reference number. If you purchased cryptocurrency specifically to donate to the scam investment scheme, you should also tell your bank.

No, unfortunately we are not able to offer the crypto investigation report for free, as it is a time-consuming report that requires specialist tools and training to create. The report can be used to help track down and recover your stolen assets, along with the criminals responsible.
Cryptocurrency is a type of digital or virtual money that exists only online. Unlike traditional money, such as dollars or euros, cryptocurrency doesn’t have a physical form like coins or bills. Instead, it uses technology called blockchain to ensure that transactions are secure and transparent.
Cryptocurrency is completely electronic and can’t be held in your hand. Unlike regular money, which is issued and regulated by governments or banks, cryptocurrency is usually decentralized, meaning no single entity controls it.
A blockchain is a special type of database that stores information in a secure and transparent way by organizing data into blocks that are linked together in a chain. Each block contains a list of transactions, and once a block is filled, it is added to the chain in chronological order. This chain is then shared across a network of computers, known as nodes, which all have a copy of the entire blockchain.
Once added, blocks cannot be changed without altering all subsequent blocks, which would require agreement from the majority of the network. This makes the blockchain resistant to fraud and tampering. Blockchains are most commonly known for their use in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but they can also be used for other applications such as tracking supply chains, recording property ownership, and securing voting systems.
A crypto investigation report is a bespoke and highly detailed document, created solely to help you trace, and hopefully, to recover your lost crypto assets. It can be commissioned by anybody, anywhere in the world, regardless of jurisdiction, and thus, is an incredibly useful tool for those who have lost assets to scammers.
