If a broker, trading platform, or "investment advisor" is stalling your withdrawal — or your crypto was stolen — the money left a trail. We follow it on-chain and give you court-admissible evidence to use with police and your lawyer.
Tell us what happened. A licensed investigator will review whether your funds can be traced — usually within one business hour.
A licensed investigator will review your case and contact you shortly — usually within one business hour.

A word on trust
After a scam, some people are approached again by others posing as "recovery agents." So let's be clear about who we are: ChainLight is an investigation firm, not a recovery service. We'll never ask for your wallet keys, seed phrase, passwords, or an upfront fee to "release" your funds — that's a line we simply don't cross. If anyone asks you for those things, it isn't us, and it isn't safe.
How it works
A clear, four-step process. You stay informed at every stage.
A free, confidential assessment. We review whether your funds can realistically be traced.
On-chain analysis follows the money across wallets, exchanges, bridges and mixers.
A documented, court-admissible tracing report with a full chain of custody.
Use it with police and your lawyer to pursue freezing orders and disclosure.
What we investigate
Most cases we see start as an "investment" or "trading" opportunity — and end with funds routed through cryptocurrency.
The platform shows "profits" but blocks your withdrawal, or demands fees and "taxes" to release funds.
A trusted contact guided you into a fake investment app over weeks or months. The #1 fraud-loss category in Canada.
A drained wallet, a fake support agent, or a malicious approval moved your assets out.
Telegram/WhatsApp "signal" groups and advisors that funneled you into a fraudulent platform.
Invoice redirection or compromised email that sent company funds into crypto.
If you're unsure how the money left, tell us what you remember. We'll figure out the path.
Honest expectations
Recovering stolen funds is genuinely difficult, and anyone who guarantees it is not telling you the truth. What a professional trace reliably gives you is clarity and leverage: where the money went, who is holding it now, and documented evidence that police and lawyers can act on — the foundation for freezing orders and exchange disclosure.
That evidence is often the difference between a case that stalls and one that moves.
Common questions
Public blockchains keep a permanent record of every transaction. Once funds move toward a regulated exchange or service, an investigator can often follow the trail and identify where they landed. Whether a specific case is traceable depends on the details — that's what the free assessment is for.
No. We are forensic investigators. We produce the evidence and the trail; recovery itself happens through law enforcement and the courts. We never ask for upfront "recovery fees," your keys, or your passwords — and you should never give those to anyone who does.
The initial case assessment is free. If we take your case, we'll explain the scope and a clear fee before any work begins — no surprises, no pressure.
Yes. Everything you share is treated as confidential and used only to assess and investigate your case.
Yes — bring your report or file number. A forensic trace complements a police report and gives investigators and your lawyer something concrete to act on.
A free, confidential assessment takes a few minutes and could be the first real step toward answers.
