CRYPTOCURRENCY TRACING AND RECOVERY
DIGITAL ASSET TRACING  |  BLOCKCHAIN ANALYSIS  |  FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS  |  DEFI INTELLIGENCE

Bearden Intelligence, Inc. conducts specialized cryptocurrency investigations addressing the unique challenges of tracing digital assets, fraud detection, and blockchain analysis (examining the public record of cryptocurrency transactions).

As cryptocurrency adoption expands across both legitimate commerce and illicit activity, our attorney-led team provides the expertise required to investigate complex matters involving digital currencies, decentralized finance platforms (financial services operating without traditional banks), and transactions recorded on the blockchain.

Cryptocurrency Investigation Services

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Our investigators combine traditional financial investigative techniques with advanced blockchain analysis tools to address cryptocurrency-related matters, including:

  • Digital Asset Tracing — Tracking cryptocurrency transactions across blockchain networks to identify fund movements, wallet ownership, and ultimate destinations

  • Fraud and Investment Scam Investigations — Documenting fraudulent cryptocurrency schemes, Ponzi schemes, and investment-related fraud involving digital assets

  • Hidden Asset Investigations — Locating undisclosed cryptocurrency holdings, wallet addresses, and exchange accounts in family law and asset division matters

  • Money Laundering Analysis — Tracing cryptocurrency used to conceal proceeds through mixing services and tumblers (tools used to obscure the origin of cryptocurrency) and complex layered transactions designed to hide fund origins

  • Exchange Account Identification — Determining relationships with cryptocurrency exchanges, including trading activity and account ownership

  • Smart Contract Analysis — Examining decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and agreements, digital token agreements, and automated transaction systems

  • NFT and Digital Asset Investigations — Verifying ownership, origin and ownership history, and transaction history of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and other digital assets

Blockchain Intelligence and Forensic Analysis

Cryptocurrency investigations require technical capabilities beyond traditional financial inquiry. Our team utilizes blockchain explorers (tools that search and display transaction records), forensic analysis software, and specialized investigative databases to:

  • Trace Bitcoin, Ethereum, and alternative cryptocurrency transactions across blockchain networks

  • Identify patterns in wallet activity suggesting common ownership or control

  • Analyze transaction timing, amounts, and behavioral patterns

  • Link cryptocurrency addresses to exchanges, merchants, and known individuals or organizations

  • Document transaction flows through mixing services and privacy-focused cryptocurrencies designed to conceal transactions

  • Preserve blockchain evidence in legally sound formats suitable for legal proceedings

Cryptocurrency Tracing

Our attorney-led team conducts cryptocurrency tracing and recovery in full compliance with federal, state, and applicable international regulations. All findings are reviewed by our in-house attorneys before any asset recovery effort is initiated.
