Cryptocurrency Investigations and Asset Recovery

What Makes our Cryptocurrency Investigations Successful

USA Crypto Scam Victims: 90%+ of our cases are accepted by Dept. of Justice agencies for investigation.

Hundreds of thousands of cybercrimes are reported through the FBI’s IC3.GOV website each year. Only a small fraction of these cybercrimes are prosecuted in the USA and other Western jurisdictions, resolved cases are estimated to be less than 5 out of every 100,000 cases when accounting for underreporting. Whereas, if you can afford private cryptocurrency investigations through Rexxfield, and if we accept your case, then you can expect with a high degree of certainty that your case will be investigated. This is because Rexxfield does not take on more cases than we can handle. Your case will be thoroughly investigated, and as soon as we have finished, our retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent, John Wetherington, will personally liaise with multiple federal and local law enforcement agencies, to find the best venue, and the best chances of a successful investigation. Law enforcement finds our case referrals appealing because we have done most of the work, and they only need to do a “parallel reconstruction” of our work to verify our findings in a shorter time.

Global Law Enforcement Referral Relationships.

We refer cases to law enforcement agencies in Europe, the UK, Australia, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries, the UAE, the Gulf Region, Eastern Europe, various African countries, and more.

Rexxfield is a leader in conducting Cryptocurrency investigations. We can help when law enforcement is unable or unwilling to investigate your case, or when they are too slow. If we solve your case we will attempt to persuade prosecutors to seize the stolen or laundered assets that we traced and arrest the perpetrators. Prosecutors need successful convictions on their personal resumes for when they apply for jobs in private law firms, so when we hand them a likely conviction on a silver platter, they are more likley to get excited and act.

Despite the swift rise of new digital currencies, exchanges, and banking platforms, cryptocurrencies are still a relatively new phenomenon. Like traditional money, you can purchase goods and services with cryptocurrencies (also known as crypto assets), or trade them for profit. But these cryptocurrency markets are being targeted by criminals, stealing millions of dollars from cryptocurrency holdings every year through pump and dump scams, and other types of cryptocurrency scams. 

How we recover assets through Cryptocurrency Investigations

Rexxfield helps cryptocurrency scam victims by investigating the technical and non-technical clues, and trace where the funds went, and identify the responsible parties. This strategy provides the client with numerous options to recover the assets: 

  • Trace the digital funds;

  • Liaise with your local law enforcement agencies (globally) who obtain arrest and asset seizure warrants;
  • Sue the person responsible or have them prosecuted.

Cryptocurrency Investigations through Chainanalysis

How our Cryptocurrency Investigations Work

Analyze: we first carefully analyze your conversations to look for possible slip-ups or clues that could help us identify the bad actors.

Investigate: we search online and through databases to look for related offenses to collect evidence.

Social Engineering: We directly engage the scammers, pretending to be another victim, and in the process uncover their address, identity and usually everything needed for law enforcement to make an arrest.

Follow the money trail: we follow the money to the final beneficiary. When it comes to money transactions, there is always a trail, no matter how sophisticated the scam is. In many cases we can defeat the scammer’s laundering attempts, and successfully lock some or all of the wallets that are holding stolen or scammed crypto. Even if we cannot lock accounts, we can usually find the evidence needed for an arrest warrant for the perpetrators.

Identify, Locate and Arrest the Perpetrators: Rexxfield does far more than just tracing the Blockchain, our open source intelligence investigators make every attempt to unmask the perpetrators. We cooperate with law enforcement globally to set up stings, arrests and asset seizures. We then consult with our clients on what action to take, depending on various factors, including jurisdiction, the value of the loss, and the corruption index for the jurisdictions involved.

Our crypto investigators specialize in blockchain forensics and tracking Bitcoin transactions, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, Ether, and other cryptocurrencies. We combine on-chain and off-chain analytics analysis with investigative techniques through professional blockchain forensics tools to help you recover your money by tracing the transaction.

Our strength in cryptocurrency investigations, funds tracing and the recovery of funds lies in our careful analysis of the blockchain, our extensive background in identifying bad actors through reversed social engineering, and our experience in presenting evidence to courts. We also have diverse skills in-house, comprised not only of crypto investigators but also of open-source specialist investigators, computer forensic experts, intelligence analysts, cyber security, and cyber forensic investigators.  

Why Cryptocurrency Scams are so effective

Lack of regulation

The cryptocurrency industry is not regulated by the government. Because of this, there are no general guidelines or best practices to follow, and nobody expects parties to be authorized or licensed to carry out activities.

Limited understanding of users

Cryptocurrency increases in popularity on a daily basis, as people start to discover and explore cryptocurrency. People who just start with cryptocurrency have limited understanding or awareness of digital assets to protect themselves, making them easy targets for bad actors.

Relative Anonymity

Unlike traditional bank accounts and checks, which are very hard to use anonymously, Bitcoin addresses don’t require to be registered in someone’s name, making it easier to get away with cryptocurrency fraud.
