So you find yourself a victim of a cybercrime.  Most likely, you’ve been completely wiped out.  First, I want to say I’m really sorry; I’ve dealt with hundreds of victims just like you, and it breaks my heart every single time.  In the perfect case scenario, you should be able to contact local or federal law enforcement, who will immediately  start finding out where your funds went to, freeze bank accounts, freezing cryptocurrency exchange accounts, so they can drag those funds back to you. Unfortunately, that’s just not the case in most situations.

It’s not because our friends in law enforcement don’t care. They do. They care a lot. I was one of them, but there’s a lot of things that are going against them. First of all, staffing.  These Agents and Detectives work long, long hours but cyber crimes are incredibly hard to investigate  and even harder to prosecute. So frankly, they just have more work then they know what to do with.  It is my hope these series of videos will help explain the crime that has been committed against you and explain the world of law enforcement so that you can make the best decision going forward. These are tough times and your next decisions are going to be critical in trying to restore your financial health.

Our Cyber Asset Recovery Services

Cryptocurrency tracing services are specialized tools and expertise used to track the movement and ownership of digital assets across blockchain networks.

When cryptocurrency is stolen from you, the individual responsible may be liable for the lost opportunity cost resulting from their illegal actions.

Cryptocurrency recovery refers to the process of recovering stolen or lost digital assets, often following incidents of fraud, hacking, or unauthorized transactions.

Cryptocurrency has become an increasingly important consideration in divorce cases, as more individuals hold digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other altcoins as part of their financial portfolios.

Cryptocurrency wallet hack investigations involve the process of identifying, tracing, and recovering funds from wallets that have been compromised through unauthorized access, cyberattacks, or fraudulent activities.

Digital asset disputes arise when there is a disagreement or conflict over the ownership, control, or distribution of digital assets such as cryptocurrencies, NFTs, or other blockchain-based assets.

Cyber investigations involve the process of identifying, analyzing, and responding to cybercrimes, including hacking, fraud, data breaches, and online fraud.

The Pig Butchering Scam is a type of investment fraud that often targets individuals through sophisticated, long-term social engineering tactics.

As cryptocurrency becomes increasingly integrated into the global financial system, its use by criminals is also on the rise. In 2023, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received over 69,000 complaints related to financial fraud involving cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether. These complaints resulted in estimated losses exceeding $5.6 billion. While cryptocurrency-related fraud makes up roughly 10% of all financial fraud complaints, the losses associated with these cases account for nearly 50% of the total financial losses reported.

The exploitation of cryptocurrency spans across various types of fraud schemes tracked by IC3, with investment scams being the most prevalent. Losses from these scams represented nearly 71% of all cryptocurrency-related fraud losses. Call center frauds, including tech support and government impersonation scams, accounted for around 10% of losses linked to cryptocurrency.

Crypto Asset Recovery FAQs

Why has the FBI not called me after I reported my incident on the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (ic3.gov)?

The short answer is that the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies are overwhelmed with cases like this. In order for a case to be opened after being reported to ic3.gov, the typical loss amount must exceed $1,000,000. That said, the longer explanation for why the FBI hasn’t responded to your case can be found here.

Why is local law enforcement not taking my case?

Many local law enforcement agencies believe these types of cases should be handled by federal law enforcement, especially when the scammers are based overseas. Unfortunately, few departments are aware that reporting to ic3.gov often does not lead to an investigation. However, the full explanation is more complex and can be found here.

Am I guaranteed to get my funds back if we hire you?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. Any company that promises otherwise is likely misleading you, if not outright scamming you. There is no way to guarantee the return of your funds without first conducting a thorough investigation to determine what happened. The real question is: Are you willing to accept the loss while law enforcement ignores your case, or are you ready to take action and pursue recovery?

Can CARE seize my funds and return them to me?

CARE alone cannot seize your funds or return them. We only work with victims who are represented by legal counsel. We recommend hiring an experienced civil attorney with expertise in cryptocurrency litigation to pursue the cybercriminal responsible for the theft and hold accountable the cryptocurrency exchanges that have historically failed in their Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and cybersecurity practices. Contact us for a list of qualified attorneys in your area.

Should I do nothing and just wait for law enforcement to call me back?

This is ultimately a decision you’ll need to make. However, it’s important to note that most victims of these types of cases never receive a call back from law enforcement. Even if you’re assigned a case number, it doesn’t necessarily mean your case is being actively investigated.
