BACKGROUND
As you become involved in the new digital monetary mechanisms known as cryptocurrency, it doesn’t take long to recognise there’s risk involved in these transactions. And we’re not talking about the volatility of the market. Scams are everywhere online, and cryptocurrency exchanges are no different. As you consider investing in different startups and exchange platforms, be aware of the possibility of losing your cryptocurrency investments.
INVESTIGATION CHALLENGES
Investing in cryptocurrency means taking on risks, but getting scammed shouldn’t be one of them. Cryptocurrency fraud is a very serious crime. As well as the financial losses victims suffer, there can also be a lot of emotional distress and loss of privacy to consider.
Where the authorities are not interested in pursuing compensation, we can assist with a private prosecution. Organisations that hold your personal information have a legal duty to keep it safe. So, if the fraud was made possible due to poor security processes and negligence at a company you trusted, you may be able to make a data breach claim and can be entitled to compensation.
Despite common belief, cryptocurrency crimes do not represent an investigative dead-end. We work with leading technical specialists to investigate cryptocurrency cases and secure justice for victims.
Our experts utilise proprietary and cutting-edge investigative technology and methodologies to help extract relevant data to prove claims, understand and evidence how such crimes occurred, assess damages and identify offenders. With a cross-functional team of data privacy, data security, e-discovery and digital forensics professionals, we leverage our legal and technical expertise to fully investigate claims related to blockchain or cryptocurrency fraud.
Our investigations can help to uncover who the perpetrators are, monitor crypto movements in real-time, and ultimately help with seizing and recovering your crypto assets.
