Crypto tracing after a scam
If you sent bitcoin, USDT, or other crypto to a fake platform or a so-called advisor, the path those funds took is recorded on the blockchain. We analyze it and tell you in writing how far it can be traced and what options exist.
Short answer
Can stolen crypto be traced?
Yes. In most cases, you can follow the path it took. Networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron are public: every transfer is recorded with its hash, its origin, its destination, and its date.
Tracing is not the same as recovering. The goal of tracing is to find out whether the funds reached a service that identifies its customers, such as an exchange. That is what opens the door to formal requests through the authorities or a licensed attorney.
If the money went through a mixer or a cross-chain bridge, the trail may break off. We will tell you so plainly: documenting what cannot be traced is also part of an honest analysis. More context in can you get your money back after a scam?
What we need from you
- The hash (TXID) of each transfer
- The destination address
- The coin and the network (for example, USDT on Tron or on Ethereum)
- The exchange, ATM, or wallet you sent it from
- Dates, amounts, and screenshots of the platform
We never need your seed phrase, your private keys, or access to your wallet.

Common patterns
Crypto scams we analyze
If your case looks like one of these, tracing may provide useful evidence.
- Romance or online friendship investment scams. Someone earns your trust and steers you to a platform that shows fake profits.
- Fake trading or mining platforms. They let you withdraw a little at first, then block the rest.
- Bitcoin ATMs. You are told to deposit cash at an ATM to “protect” your money or pay off a debt.
- Online jobs that require deposits. They pay you for tasks, then demand a crypto deposit to keep going.
- Fake recovery services. They charge you in crypto to recover what you already lost.

How long does crypto tracing take?
It depends on how many transactions and networks are involved. A typical case is delivered as part of the Viability Report within 7 to 10 business days; cases with many hops are quoted separately, always in writing.
Can you freeze my crypto?
No. Only an exchange can freeze funds in its accounts, either on its own initiative or at the request of an authority or a court. Our report documents the path so the authorities or a licensed attorney can request it, if appropriate.
What if they used a mixer or a cross-chain bridge?
The trail may become uncertain or break off. The report documents this as a limitation and explains which part of the path could be established.
Does it help if the scam happened months or years ago?
Yes. The blockchain record is never erased. What can change over time is whether the funds are still available at the destination, and some legal deadlines.
Do you need access to my wallet or my exchange account?
No. We work with the hashes, addresses, and screenshots you share. We will never ask for your seed phrase, your private keys, passwords, or remote access.
What is a hash and where do I find it?
It is the unique code for each transfer, also called a TXID. It appears in your exchange’s withdrawal history or in your wallet. With it, anyone can verify the transfer on a public block explorer.
