Can you recover my funds?

ATS supports clients’ financial recovery efforts by developing critical evidence and intelligence to strengthen claims in criminal and civil proceedings.

We provide strategic guidance to improve recovery outcomes, including recommendations on appropriate agencies to notify at the federal, state, and local levels.

Recovering assets from cryptocurrency fraud, theft, or hacking typically requires formal legal action. Our investigative reports are clear, concise, and courtroom-ready, offering expert findings, evidentiary roadmaps, and identifying targets for subpoenas, warrants, and asset seizure. We also coordinate directly with legal counsel, regulators, and law enforcement on behalf of our clients.

We do not recover funds independently, nor are we aware of any legitimate investigative firms that do so.

What are the chances of success?

Recovery outcomes vary based on factors such as the technical sophistication of the perpetrators and the foreign jurisdictions involved. In most cases, partial recovery is more likely than full restitution.

Successful recovery often hinges on cooperation from law enforcement and virtual asset service providers, including commercial exchanges used as ‘exit ramps’ to convert illicit cryptocurrency into less traceable fiat currencies such as euros or U.S. dollars.

Will you work on contingency or percentage basis?

At the start of each engagement, we provide a written proposal outlining the investigative scope, project-based fee, and estimated timeline. Upon client approval and receipt of the agreed-upon fee, the investigation begins. If the project scope changes materially during the engagement, we discuss and agree on any necessary adjustments in advance.

Can you get the FBI involved?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Secret Service possess advanced technical capabilities and experienced personnel for tracing illicit cryptocurrency transactions and pursuing restitution for victims. However, with few exceptions, active federal intervention typically requires minimum losses of $1 million.

Even losses exceeding that threshold do not guarantee agency action—particularly if the evidence is disorganized, the narrative unclear, or the submission is left unanswered. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, in particular, is often perceived by victims as unresponsive.

Many clients with multi-million-dollar losses have turned to us after receiving no acknowledgment of their complaints. While we cannot compel a federal agency to open a case, we provide strategic guidance on how to engage law enforcement effectively. A well-prepared cryptocurrency fraud investigation report—concise, well-documented, and supported by clear evidence—can significantly improve the likelihood of initiating dialogue with a local FBI or Secret Service field office.

For clients with losses below the $1 million threshold, ATS endeavors to identify and report evidence of broader victim impact, potentially demonstrating aggregate losses that meet the criteria for federal involvement.

State and local law enforcement can also play a valuable role and should not be overlooked. ATS provides clear, evidence-based reporting that enables financial crimes units at municipal or state police departments—even those with limited cryptocurrency experience—to take informed action. Local detectives are often highly motivated to pursue justice on behalf of victims within their communities.

Did you contact me about recovering my lost money?

ATS does not initiate unsolicited contact regarding financial fraud recovery. We do not cold-call prospective clients or reach out through platforms like Telegram, WhatsApp, or similar channels.
