    Hidden Crypto Assets: The Latest Challenge in Divorce

    The realm of cryptocurrency presents a unique battlefield in divorce negotiations. Unlike traditional assets, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and countless other alt-coins and tokens, offer a level of anonymity and ease of transfer that can be a boon for those looking to keep certain assets out of sight. This digital asset class operates on the blockchain, a decentralized ledger that records transactions across a network of computers, making transactions secure but also challenging to trace without the right tools and expertise.

    Understanding the basics of cryptocurrency is crucial in these cases. Each unit of cryptocurrency, whether it’s a coin like Bitcoin or a token used on decentralized applications, is tied to a public key—a visible address on the blockchain where transactions are recorded. However, the owner’s identity is tied to a private key, which is essentially their digital signature, kept secret. Without access or knowledge of these keys, unraveling who owns what becomes a daunting task.

    This inherent design of cryptocurrencies—to ensure privacy and security—also creates a perfect veil for concealing assets. Someone could transfer significant amounts of wealth into cryptocurrency, move it across wallets or exchanges with little more than a few clicks, and leave virtually no trace accessible to the untrained eye. In a divorce, this means assets that should be part of the marital pool for division can be effectively hidden, potentially skewing settlements and leaving one party at a significant disadvantage.

    Our aim is to equip you with a foundational understanding of digital currencies, blockchain technology, and the significance of public and private keys, providing a stepping stone to uncovering hidden cryptocurrency assets. With this knowledge, we want to better prepare you to navigate the digital asset landscape with confidence, ensuring an equitable resolution in your divorce proceedings.

Our team employs best-in-class crypto tracing tools that allow us to trace transactions back to their source, revealing the types of cryptocurrency involved and where they are held.

    Step 6

    The Outcome: Proving Assets and Demonstrating Deceit

    In divorce proceedings, the emphasis is on accurately proving the existence of digital assets, establishing their value at a crucial point in time, and unveiling any patterns of intentional deceit by the opposing party. Our process accomplishes this by focusing on these critical aspects:

    Identification and Evidence of Digital Assets

    Utilizing advanced digital forensics, we systematically identify hidden cryptocurrency holdings and meticulously prove their existence in a way that anyone can understand. Our investigation delves into digital trails and transactions, ensuring that every piece of digital currency is accounted for.

    Uncovering Patterns of Deceit

    Beyond the identification and valuation, we specialize in revealing patterns of wilful deceit. This includes tracing the deliberate attempts to secret away digital assets like Bitcoin and other crypto, transfers designed to hide wealth, and any actions that suggest an intent to deceive the court or spouse. Our expertise allows us to uncover evidence of such behaviors, supporting claims of dishonesty and manipulation.

    Valuation of Crypto Assets for Divorce

    We provide precise valuation of the identified digital assets for critical moments, such as the date of separation, leveraging historical data and market analysis. This is essential for an equitable division of assets, ensuring that values are fair and reflect the true worth of the cryptocurrency holdings at relevant times.

    By focusing on these areas, we provide our clients with the evidence and insights needed to ensure a fair and just settlement, both by proving assets exist and that the opposing party was attempting to hide the assets from the court.

    Digital Forensics and Crypto Analysis Techniques

    Tracing Cryptocurrency

    The heart of our service lies in our ability to trace digital assets that their owner thinks they have successfully hidden. Using cutting-edge blockchain analytics, we ‘follow the money’ across multiple platforms, wallets and even through sophisticated methods designed to obfuscate the crypto currency trail. Our expertise in reading the blockchain enables us to uncover on and off ramps (where cash is converted to crypto and vice versa), the transaction chain, trace through conversions of one coin to another, and identify witnesses that can be subpoenaed for evidence and establish connections that might otherwise go unnoticed.

    Valuation of Cryptocurrency

    Your spouse and their lawyers may undervalue their crypto activity and asset value in their side’s divorce proceedings submission, but Rexxfield will produce irrefutable proof of the assets true value at any given point in time and prove them to be an unreliable party at the same time.

    Examination of Digital Footprints

    Cryptocurrency transactions leave behind digital artifacts—bits of information that, when correctly interpreted, can reveal the presence of digital assets. Our team meticulously analyzes these artifacts, from transaction histories to wallet addresses, using specialized software that can sift through vast amounts of data to find the evidence needed to prove ownership and value of the assets.

    Exploring the Blockchain

    Blockchain explorers are invaluable in our investigation process. They provide a window into the blockchain, allowing us to see the movement of assets in real-time. By tracking the flow of funds from one address to another, we can piece together the puzzle of hidden assets, providing concrete evidence for legal proceedings.

    We ensure that no stone is left unturned in the search for hidden cryptocurrency assets and their true value. Let us guide you through this challenging process, ensuring that all assets, digital or otherwise, are fairly considered and divided.

    Voluntary Disclosure Negotiation

    An important part of our work is helping you and your lawyers know exactly what to ask for when you need documents or information from the other side. The purchase, storage, conversion, and movement of crypto assets differs greatly from traditional assets, and most people only understand a few small parts of the bigger picture. We know exactly what questions to ask and how to ask them to make sure nothing important is missed. By helping legal teams ask for the right information the first time, we make the whole process faster and more straightforward. This helps our clients by making sure their case is as strong as it can be, right from the start.

Considering all Rexxfield provides, their prices are extremely reasonable and they genuinely care about your case. Along with their ability to obtain conclusive evidence, Michael, owner of Rexxfield, is an excellent testifier and has top-notch credentials. My attorney was pleased."
    (aka Jenny in Laura Whitmore Cyber Stalking Documentary)

    Susan Stranger

    "Within only a couple of days, Rexxfield discovered the identity of the cowardly 'anonymous' owner of a website, which he created to discredit and defame me. I was then able to file a lawsuit against him. I am so grateful. This could not have been accomplished without Rexxfield's expert work! This company is nothing short of miraculous. Strongly recommend!"
