Crypto Asset Recovery
If you’ve lost cryptocurrency to theft, hacking, or an investment scam, recovery is often still possible, but the window to act matters. Blockchain transactions are permanent and traceable, and stolen funds frequently pass through exchanges, mixers, and wallets that can be identified, flagged, and in many cases frozen before they’re fully laundered.
LegalByte’s asset recovery team combines certified blockchain forensic investigators with fraud attorneys to pursue the legal and technical steps needed to trace stolen cryptocurrency and pursue its return.
We work with victims of crypto theft and fraud across the United States and Canada, as well as international clients.
What Kinds of Crypto Loss We Handle
- Cryptocurrency stolen through hacking or wallet compromise
- Funds lost to investment and trading scams, including pig-butchering schemes
- Assets lost to fraudulent or fake exchanges and trading platforms
- Losses from phishing attacks and SIM-swap fraud
- Funds sent to fraudulent “recovery” services posing as asset-recovery firms
- Rug pulls, exit scams, and fraudulent token launches
Why Work With LegalByte
- Every case is led by experienced investigators in cryptocurrency forensics and financial crime compliance.
- Cross-border reach. Recovery frequently requires coordinating with exchanges, regulators, and law enforcement in multiple countries; our team has direct experience doing this across the US, Canada, and internationally.
- Legal and forensic under one roof. Blockchain tracing identifies where funds went; legal action is what actually compels their return. We do both, rather than handing off between separate companies.
- Transparent, case-specific plans. After reviewing your case, we outline a recovery plan and realistic expectations before any engagement begins. We don’t take cases we don’t believe have a viable path forward.
What to Do If You've Been a Victim
If you believe you’ve lost cryptocurrency to fraud or theft:
- Do not send any additional funds to anyone claiming they can “unlock” or “release” your crypto immediately. This is itself a common follow-up scam.
- Preserve all records: wallet addresses, transaction hashes, exchange correspondence, and any communication with the person or platform involved.
- Contact us for a case review before taking further action, early tracing significantly improves recovery odds.
