From first contact
to recovered funds.
Most engagements run between four and sixteen weeks, depending on jurisdictional cooperation and asset path. Here is the exact process, written plainly, because the industry doesn't usually bother.
Free case review.
Tell us what happened. We need the platform, dates, transaction hashes or wallet addresses if you have them, and any communications. We assess recovery feasibility and respond within one business day.
Evidence & on-chain analysis.
We open a case file and run the trace: fund movement, mixer attribution, bridge crossings, exchange deposits. We attribute counterparties where the data permits and assemble a regulator-grade dossier.
Recovery action & reporting.
Coordinated escalation: exchange compliance teams, payment processors, local law enforcement, and where appropriate, civil action with our partner counsel. Weekly status reports until the case closes.

- 01 You submit the intake form (or email cases@cryptoleek.com directly).
- 02 A senior analyst reads the file end-to-end within 24 hours, never a junior, never a chatbot.
- 03 You receive a written assessment with an honest yes/no/conditional verdict and the reasoning behind it.
- 04 If the case is recoverable, we propose a specific plan and fee structure. If it isn't, we tell you who to contact (regulator, free legal aid, IC3/Action Fraud), at no charge.
Evidence & on-chain analysis.
We open a case file and run the trace: fund movement, mixer attribution, bridge crossings, exchange deposits. We attribute counterparties where the data permits and assemble a regulator-grade dossier.
- 01 On-chain tracing using Chainalysis Reactor, TRM Labs, and Arkham, the same toolchain used by regulators and tier-1 exchange compliance teams.
- 02 Counterparty attribution where the data permits (wallet clustering, deposit-address fingerprinting, infrastructure OSINT).
- 03 Weekly written updates to you, no opaque "we're working on it" blackouts.
- 04 Final deliverable: a 15-30 page forensic report you own, anchored to specific transaction hashes and block heights. Suitable for counsel, regulators, and exchange compliance teams.
Recovery action & reporting.
Coordinated escalation: exchange compliance teams, payment processors, local law enforcement, and where appropriate, civil action with our partner counsel. Weekly status reports until the case closes.
- 01 Direct escalation to the relevant exchange's compliance team, with the evidence pack in hand.
- 02 Regulator filings (IC3, Action Fraud, BaFin, MAS, ASIC) where the case fits their remit.
- 03 Where civil action is needed, introduction to bar-licensed counsel in the relevant jurisdiction (counsel bills you separately).
- 04 Weekly status reports until recovery completes, or until we determine that further action would not be productive.
- 05 Closing report documenting outcome, final on-chain disposition, and invoice (only if funds were recovered).
