Saul Ancona

Agent of Process

Saul’s utilizes his legal knowledge and passion for helping others by negotiating settlements for SIM Swap Victims.

Saul Ancona

Saul is an entrepreneur and graduate of New York University. He holds a Bachelor of Science in real estate and is currently studying law at Brooklyn Law School.

Saul has experienced success and failure, both of which have molded his understanding of how life can throw us curveballs at any moment. He has experience in a diversity of fields including real estate, fashion, and recreation.

Saul started working with CoinStructive after he was victimized by a sim-swap hack which resulted in a great loss of cryptocurrency. After being rejected by multiple attorneys, Saul decided to act himself. He spent the next few months negotiating an out of court settlement with the attorneys at his then telecom provider and was successful in doing so.

Since then, Saul partnered with CoinStructive to help other victims of sim-swap hacks gain compensation from their telecom providers for the latter’s negligence in guarding their privacy.
