Investigations
Our Steps
The most affordable blockchain forensics company.
We offer a free 15-minute consultation for qualified cases to explore your options and confirm you’re working with real recovery experts and not scammers.
At the end of the consultation, we provide you with a quote for the first part of the investigation, the Initial Analysis, based on the number of transactions in your case.
Please keep in mind we require the following information to begin our investigation:
- Transaction Hash
- To Address (sent to)
- Amount of Coins/Tokens
- Total # of Transactions
The goal of the initial analysis is to determine the strength of your case.
We analyze each transaction you provide by following the money and determine whether they lead to a good lead (subpoenable exchange), a bad lead (non-subpoenable exchange), or a dead end.
Exchanges that cooperate with law enforcement subpoenas can get you the identity of the associated scammer, IP addresses the scammer used, and you can also freeze the assets within the exchange address.
Typically, most transactions lead to a subpoenable exchange. In those cases, we recommend moving forward with a formal report, and will provide a separate quote for the report writing step.
The goal of the report is to help facilitate the process of obtaining a subpoena from possible good lead exchanges.
Our reports detail every transaction sent to the scammer and subsequent transactions.
We provide annotated images of the scammers activity with all the relevant transaction data.
We provide you with a detailed report that can be handed over to law enforcement to pursue, along with suggested next steps and where to file your case.
This can report also serves as evidence of a financial loss to aid in your ability to claim a tax deduction.
A report typically includes:
- Wallet Address Identity & Attribution
- Transaction IDs
- IP Addresses
- Visual Representation of Transactions
- A Timeline of Events
- Subpoenable Entities
- Suggested Next Steps
Please note that while we cannot guarantee recovery, we meet with law enforcement as necessary, free of charge, to help them understand the content in the report and move your case along.
Our goal is to help you recover your assets and empower law enforcement to pursue the case.
We have successfully convinced local and federal law enforcement to subpoena exchanges around the world.
Expert witness testimony? By working with CoinStructive you should never need to hire a lawyer. If you do, our President will act as an Expert Witness to explain the report in a court of law.
There are a lot of factors that go into obtaining a recovery, but ultimately, our services will help improve your chances.

SIM Swap Asset Recovery
Get your money back now!
Once it has been established that a SIM swap theft occurred, we reach out to the telecom company on behalf of the victim. Attorneys rarely take these types of cases due to the relatively low monetary threshold and tediousness associated with such cases. We work tirelessly to negotiate a settlement on behalf of our clients, doing all the work that an attorney would.
Finding the right person to speak to these companies is difficult. It will never suffice to call customer service. It is necessary to get in contact with the “higher ups”. Negotiating is even harder – it requires special skills, patience, and of course, time. Once in touch with the proper contacts, we will submit our demand along with all relevant reports regarding the theft.
Most victims do not have the time or resources to pursue recovery and will be left without any compensation. We are providing a service that is very rare to come by and our clients will be satisfied to know that somebody is fighting for them when no attorney would. There is no risk for the client, as we will work completely on commission in most cases.
