Frequently Asked Questions

Can you recover stolen Bitcoin?

Recovery depends on fund movement, available evidence, and legal/technical options. We provide tracing and documentation; outcomes are case-dependent.

What evidence is most useful for Bitcoin recovery?

Transaction hashes, involved wallet addresses, the incident timeline, exchange/bank touchpoints, communications/screenshots, and any credential reset evidence.

How does Bitcoin wallet tracing work?

We map fund flow, identify likely change outputs and consolidation points, and determine which hops may be linked to entities that can be pursued.

What are the common limitations?

Mixing/tumbling, multi-hop obfuscation, time delays, custody changes, and jurisdictional/legal constraints can limit what’s practically recoverable.
