Tracing and recovery

A clear understanding of the stages makes it easier to assess what investigative work can achieve.

Tracing answers movement questions

Relevant blockchain records can help establish observed asset movements. Attribution requires additional support and may remain uncertain. Platform records and communications can add important context.

Recovery requires a route

A trace does not itself compel a platform or another person to return assets. Depending on the circumstances, next steps may involve a platform enquiry, legal advice or authorities with relevant powers. We help organise evidence and identify appropriate coordination.

Ask what a result means

Clarify whether a finding describes a recorded transfer, an analytical connection, a request sent, an action taken by another organisation or actual returned funds. These are different outcomes.
