Cryptocurrency Asset Tracing
Overview
Cryptocurrency is increasingly used to shield assets from discovery. We combine on-chain analytics (Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic) with traditional investigative methods to identify wallets, trace flows through mixers and bridges, and connect anonymous addresses back to their real-world owner. Our reports meet discovery standards for divorce, judgment enforcement, and civil fraud cases, and we regularly coordinate with counsel on subpoenas to exchanges such as Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance US.
Who It's For
- Spouses in divorce cases suspecting undisclosed crypto
- Judgment creditors pursuing debtor assets
- Victims of crypto fraud, rug pulls, or romance scams
- Attorneys building asset schedules for civil litigation
- Families affected by elder financial exploitation
Typical Deliverables
- Wallet-identification report with on-chain flow diagrams
- Estimated holdings by token and USD value
- Exchange attribution (KYC'd accounts) where identifiable
- Subpoena package for centralized exchanges
- Declaration or expert report for court submission
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you trace coins that went through a mixer like Tornado Cash?
Often, yes. Modern blockchain-analytics tools can cluster mixer inputs and outputs probabilistically, and recent enforcement actions have eroded the anonymity that mixers once provided. We also follow off-ramp flows to exchanges, where KYC records can be obtained via subpoena.
What if the assets are held on a hardware wallet I can't access?
We can still document ownership by tracing transaction history to prove the wallet belongs to the subject. Combined with discovery orders or court-compelled disclosure, this often forces the subject to produce the device or face adverse inferences.
