// The Recovery Process

How We Recover
Your Stolen Crypto.

When a scam broker, smart-contract drain, or rug-pull empties your wallet, the money is not gone — it just moved. CryptoAndCode finds where it went, documents the evidence, and works with the parties who can actually freeze and recover it. No upfront fees. No promises we cannot back.

// Five Steps to Recovery

From your first message to a real filing.

Every recovery case follows the same disciplined process. Each step produces something tangible — a document, a list, a piece of evidence — that compounds into the final filing your bank, exchange, or law-enforcement contact needs in order to act.

STEP_1

Free Case Review

You send us your wallet address, the transactions involved, and a short summary of what happened. We review the case at no cost and reply within 24 hours with an honest read on whether recovery is realistic in your situation. No commitment, no payment, no pressure.

You get: a written 24-hour response and a clear yes/no on next steps
STEP_2

We Trace the Funds

If your case is workable, we follow the money. Using on-chain analytics tools and proprietary cluster intelligence, we map the path from your deposit to the operator’s wallets, then onward through any mixers, bridges, or wallet hops they used to try to lose the trail.

You get: a wallet-trace map showing exactly where your money went
STEP_3

We Identify the Off-Ramp

We follow the trail until the funds touch a regulated exchange — the “off-ramp” where the operator tried to convert your crypto into fiat or move it onward. That exchange deposit address is the actionable lever: it is where exchange compliance teams or law enforcement can freeze the funds.

You get: a list of exchange addresses + which compliance teams to file with
STEP_4

We Audit the Contracts

If a smart contract was involved — a fake staking pool, an approval-phishing site, a rug-pull token — we read the contract code itself. We identify the malicious mechanic (hidden owner privileges, fake withdrawal functions, drainable approvals) and recommend any approvals you still need to revoke from your wallet.

You get: a contract risk report + revoke-approvals checklist
STEP_5

We File for Recovery

The trace map, off-ramp list, and contract report are assembled into a regulator-ready evidence packet with full chain-of-custody documentation. This is the filing your bank, the SEC TCR portal, FBI IC3, or an exchange compliance team needs to open a freeze or recovery action. We support you through filing and follow-up.

You get: a complete evidence packet + filing support with the right authorities
// What We Track

The trail your money leaves.

Crypto-recovery is not magic. It is the methodical reading of a public ledger that no scammer can fully hide from. Every wallet, every transaction, every bridge hop is permanently recorded on the blockchain. Our job is to read those records the way an accountant reads a paper trail — faster than the operator can launder.

  • Wallet clusters — the network of addresses owned by a single operator
  • Mixer activity — Tornado Cash and other obfuscation tools the operator may have used
  • Smart-contract behavior — hidden privileges, fake functions, malicious approvals
  • Token approvals — permissions still active on your wallet that need revoking
  • Cross-chain bridges — when the operator hopped your funds to another blockchain
  • Exchange deposit addresses — the recoverable endpoint where freezing is possible

// Our Recovery Promise

The lines a real recovery company never crosses.

Most “recovery agents” that contact crypto-loss victims are themselves scams — targeting people a second time. These are the practices we refuse, full stop. Use this list to tell a real recovery firm from a fake.

We never charge upfront fees

The free case review is genuinely free. Anyone asking you to pay a “release fee”, “tax unlock”, or “liquidity charge” before recovery is not us — that is the scam pattern itself.

We never hold your funds

Recovered funds go directly from the exchange or regulator back to you. CryptoAndCode is not a custodian. If anyone asks you to send crypto to us, report it.

We never promise outcomes

Recovery depends on whether the funds reached an actionable off-ramp and on the cooperation of exchanges and regulators. We tell you in writing what is realistic before you commit to anything.

We never contact the scammer

That tips them off and risks any future freeze action. We engage exchange compliance teams, regulators, and law enforcement — not the people who took your money.
