Cryptocurrency has revolutionised finance, but it has also become a tool for scammers and fraudsters. Recovering stolen crypto can be difficult without expert assistance.

At CEL Solicitors, we use innovative blockchain analytics to trace digital assets and provide clear, actionable solutions to aid in their recovery. Even if your cryptocurrency has been moved through multiple wallets or mixed with other funds, we have the tools and expertise to track its path.

What is a Crypto Investigation Report (CIR)?

A Crypto Investigation Report (sometimes called a Crypto Investigation Report) is a detailed forensic investigation that tracks the movement of stolen cryptocurrency across the blockchain. Because crypto transactions are pseudonymous and decentralized, recovery requires specialist technical intervention.

To ensure the highest level of forensic accuracy, CEL Solicitors instructs our sister organisation, The Crypto Tracing Experts (CTE), to undertake this work. Acting on our behalf, CTE leverages advanced tools—including Chainalysis Reactor software—to compile the evidence needed to collaborate with police and financial institutions. A standard Crypto Investigation Report is priced at £6,000 plus VAT, with more complex reports also available.

A report on its own won’t get your crypto back. It gives police, exchanges and lawyers the evidence they need to act, and what happens next is up to them.

Purpose of the Crypto Investigation Report

Pinpoint the Destination:

We trace where your funds ended up, a task requiring expertise and specialist tools.

Aid in Freezing Stolen Assets:

Exchanges usually need evidence before they’ll freeze stolen funds. Our reports are designed to give them that evidence.

Document the Transaction Trail:

We study and log every transaction, mapping your funds from wallet to wallet.

Visualise Crypto Movement:

Our reports include charts and visual breakdowns to simplify complex transaction chains.

Support Asset Recovery:

Once funds are frozen, law enforcement can act to retrieve them. In some cases, exchanges may return assets voluntarily or litigation may be required.

Identify Suspects:

By analysing wallet activity and providing expert evidence, our findings can help law enforcement identify the people behind the scam.

Help Prevent Future Fraud:

Our insights can also help individuals and businesses safeguard against future crypto fraud risks.

Provide Expert Testimony:

In cases that escalate to legal proceedings, our experts can offer testimony to strengthen your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions, answered.

No. A report shows where your crypto went, but it can’t make anyone return it. It gives police, exchanges and lawyers the evidence they need to try to freeze and recover it.

We deliver a full Crypto Tracing Report in up to 14 working days.

Yes. While we are unable to offer legal services to those outside of the UK, the crypto investigation report can be created for anybody, anywhere in the world. If you have lost crypto assets to a fraud or scam, we can trace your property and locate credible “cash-out” points.

Yes, our investigations comply with all relevant regulations. We collaborate with law enforcement agencies and legal professionals to ensure a legitimate and effective approach to cryptocurrency recovery.

No. A standard report costs £6,000 plus VAT, and more complex reports cost more. We’ll tell you the price before you agree to anything.

We specialise in tracking complex transaction chains and working with law enforcement to identify the final destination of stolen assets.

A blockchain is a special type of database that stores information securely and transparently by organising 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 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.

Cryptocurrency is a type of digital or virtual money that exists only online. Unlike traditional money, such as pounds or euros, cryptocurrency doesn’t have a physical form like coins or banknotes. 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 decentralised, meaning no single entity controls it.

A Crypto Investigation Report is a paid report showing where your crypto went. Anyone, anywhere in the world, can order one. A scam recovery claim is different. If you’re in the UK, our fraud team may be able to claim your money back from your bank or the exchange you used, on a no-win, no-fee basis. You can have one, the other, or both.

Try not to panic. First, tell your bank or payment provider straight away. They may be able to stop more money leaving your account. Next, report the scam to Report Fraud, the national reporting centre for fraud in England and Wales. Then gather any records, such as emails, messages, receipts and bank statements. When you’re ready, get in touch, and we’ll give you honest advice on what to do next.

We use Chainalysis Reactor and other forensic technologies to provide industry-leading blockchain investigation services.

A crypto investigation traces the movement of your stolen assets across the blockchain, following the trail from the point of theft through every wallet and transaction until we identify where the funds ended up. Our blockchain analysts work together to compile this evidence into a formal Crypto Tracing Report, which can be used to support police investigations, freeze stolen assets at exchanges, or pursue legal action against the perpetrators.

Your report is produced by The Crypto Tracing Experts (CTE), our sister company, on our behalf. CTE’s analysts use specialist tools, including Chainalysis Reactor, to trace your crypto.
