Can stolen or scammed cryptocurrency be traced?

Yes. Public blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum record every transaction permanently, so funds can be followed from wallet to wallet even after many hops. Tracing frequently leads to an exchange deposit, which is where a real identity can be pursued through legal process.

Can you connect a wallet address to a real person?

Often, indirectly. Wallets are pseudonymous, but attribution comes from clustering related addresses, identifying exchange and service endpoints, and correlating on-chain activity with off-chain records. When funds reach a regulated exchange, a subpoena can compel the account holder’s identity.

I was scammed — is it too late to trace the funds?

Act quickly, but tracing is still possible later because the blockchain record is permanent. Fast action helps because funds may still be sitting at an exchange where they can be frozen. Report the fraud and preserve every transaction ID and communication.

Can blockchain tracing be used in court?

Yes. A documented tracing analysis, tied to immutable on-chain records and explained by a qualified examiner, is admissible and increasingly common in civil and criminal matters. Call (310) 270-0598 to discuss your case.

Cryptocurrency Forensics | Blockchain Tracing

Cryptocurrency feels anonymous, but most of it is not. Public blockchains keep a permanent, verifiable record of every transaction. Cryptocurrency forensics follows that record — from a scam or theft to the wallets and exchanges where the funds end up.

What can blockchain tracing reveal?

Fund flow — the full path of coins across wallets, hop by hop
Wallet clustering — grouping addresses controlled by the same party
Exchange endpoints — where funds enter regulated platforms and can be frozen
Mixers and bridges — identifying obfuscation attempts and cross-chain moves
Transaction timelines — when and how the movement occurred

Can you link a wallet to a real person?

Often, indirectly. Wallets are pseudonymous, so attribution comes from clustering related addresses, spotting service and exchange endpoints, and correlating on-chain behavior with off-chain evidence such as emails, receipts, and device data. When traced funds reach a regulated exchange, formal legal process can compel the account holder’s identity. ROHOVOT operates under a licensed California investigator (California BSIS PI License No. 190161) and a court-qualified computer-forensics expert witness.

I was scammed — what should I do now?

Preserve everything immediately: wallet addresses, transaction IDs (hashes), amounts, dates, and all communication with the scammer. Do not delete the exchange account you used. Report the fraud to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov, then contact us so we can begin tracing while the funds may still be recoverable at an exchange.
