James T. still remembers the sinking feeling when his $300,000 cryptocurrency investment vanished overnight. The trading platform froze withdrawals, customer support went silent, and his life savings disappeared into thin air. What James didn’t know? Nearly 40% of crypto scam victims recover some funds when they take the right steps.
At Recoverly Ltd, we’ve helped recover over $90 million in digital assets alone. Whether it’s a fake exchange, rug pull, or phishing attack, our blockchain forensic team knows how to follow the money trail across the decentralized landscape.

Why Crypto Recovery Is Different
Unlike bank fraud, cryptocurrency presents unique challenges:

-
Irreversible Transfers – No chargebacks in decentralized systems
-
Cross-Jurisdictional – Scammers exploit regulatory gaps
Yet crypto also leaves an indelible trail our experts follow: ✓ Permanent blockchain records ✓ Exchange KYC requirements ✓ Money movement patterns
