Forensic Cryptocurrency Tracking and Investigation
Court-ready cryptocurrency forensic analysis, tracing, and reporting for legal matters across Australia. Working hand-in-hand with legal firms on family law and criminal law matters.
Our forensic cryptocurrency investigations focus on clarity, accuracy, and legal defensibility.
During a cryptocurrency investigation, our forensic specialists trace blockchain transactions to identify the movement of funds and associated wallet activity.
We analyse transaction paths, wallet behaviour, and exchange interactions to establish ownership, fund flow, and potential concealment. Findings are documented in clear forensic reports suitable for legal review and court proceedings. Where required, we can act as forensic consultants or expert witnesses for ongoing matters.

Cryptocurrency Investigation Q&A
What is crypto forensics?
Crypto forensics involves analysing blockchain data to trace transactions, identify wallet activity, and investigate potential fraud, scams, or illicit movements of digital assets.
What types of cryptocurrency frauds can be investigated?
Our team has investigated many different cryptocurrency situations including those where funds have been stolen by trusted party, or where a party has been scamed into sending funds when they shouldn’t have. Often, these matters are criminal in nature and based on the evidence generated by the investigation can lead to civil or criminal prosecution actions.
Our team also specialises in investigations that relate to family law matters to build a picture of where cryptocurrency might be stored, how much there is and how it can be accessed.
Are cryptocurrency investigations confidential?
Confidentiality is at the heart of a cryptocurrency investigation as often come up we do not want to let other parties know that the funds that they may have in their possession are being tracked and traced which may lead to their recovery as, this may cause the other party 2 move the assets to places where it is harder to recover them from.
Can cryptocurrency forensic and investigation services assist in locating lost or stolen cryptocurrency?
Absolutely, our crypto forensic services are usually able to reveal the location of your cryptocurrency and pride enough data and detail to assist in recovery.
Can I trace transactions without access to my private keys?
Yes. It is entirely possible to trace cryptocurrency transactions without having direct access to private keys or the wallets themselves.
Can cryptocurrency investigation experts track down anonymous transactions?
While most cryptocurrency transactions are anonymous, our investigations unearth all transactions related to your funds or wallets. The core objective is to move beyond the anonymous blockchain data to unearth the real-world identity of the holders of those wallets.
What types of cases do you assist with?
We assist with cases involving suspected fraud, scams, stolen assets, compliance investigations, crypto wallet forensics, and transaction analysis for legal or professional purposes.
What are the chances of recovering lost digital assets?
The chance of recovering your cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, Ethereum or other digital assets will vary greatly depending on your specific circumstances. During the initial discussion, our team will seek to assess the chances of recovery before moving to any detailed investigative stages. Generally, if there is enough data, history and circumstantial evidence then there is a reasonable chance of recovery.
How long does a typical cryptocurrency investigation take?
An initial analysis can be conducted immediately to assess the situation. A full forensic investigation typically lasts between two to six weeks, depending on the complexity.
What information do I need to provide for a cryptocurrency investigation?
Contact us for a no obligation discussion. During the meeting we will elaborate on what is needed but this will almost certainly include any details that you have to hand on cryptocurrency transactions that may have been related will have a historical connection all the names of any exchanges that you think may be involved.
How much does a cryptocurrency forensic investigation cost?
There is an upfront cost for an initial investigation, which is typically less than $1,000. After this analysis, we provide an accurate estimate for the full forensic investigation. The total cost varies widely depending on your specific history, circumstances, and the desired outcome of the investigation.
Can MACC help trace stolen or lost crypto assets?
