Real address. Real tech. Real people. Here’s who you’re actually talking to.
The recovery industry needed somebody who would tell the truth.
Most recovery firms either disappear with your retainer or sell hope at a thousand dollars an hour. We don’t take retainers. We don’t sell hope. We trace what can be traced, we say so when something can’t, and we get paid only when the wire-back actually lands in your account.
Every case file the desk opens follows the same discipline. Document everything. Engage exchanges and counsel only when the on-chain evidence supports it. Send weekly intelligence reports written in the kind of plain language a person who isn’t a blockchain forensics analyst can actually read.
We’re not the biggest tracing firm in the world. We’re the one that picks up.
Most of it is patience.
Watching a wallet for three days waiting on a single transaction that confirms a route. Building chain-of-custody packets that hold up under compliance review. Knowing when to refund the analyst hours and call a case unrecoverable. The work is quieter than the marketing copy of this industry would suggest.
Three rules that don’t move.
Some things are negotiable. These three never are.
We never ask for your keys.
Not your seed phrase, not your private key, not your exchange password. Anyone who does — even someone claiming to represent us — is running a recovery scam. Forward us the message and we’ll add them to the watchlist.
You pay when it lands, not before.
Filing a case costs nothing. We don’t bill for assessment, intake, or the first week of tracing. Our fees are performance-based and only apply to recovered funds — agreed in writing, before we engage.
Every signal gets a named lead.
You don’t cycle through tiers, scripts, or queues. The person who opens your case is the person who writes your weekly report and the person on the phone when something changes. One name. One inbox.
A particular discipline lives here.
The rooms downstairs see less drama than they should, given what the work is. People come in with case files thicker than tax returns, sit on the couch by the window, and tell us the same kind of story we’ve heard a hundred times. We listen the way you listen the first time.
What the case files add up to.
A person, not a queue.
You won’t get a script when you call. You won’t cycle through tier-one, tier-two, supervisor escalation. You’ll get the lead investigator who opened your case file — and they’ll be on the other end of the line until the case closes, whichever direction it goes.
The team blends tracing analysts, recovery counsel, and former exchange-side compliance investigators. The combination is what makes the work realistic. None of them are reading from a script.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cryptoblackbird
What we are, and how we are different
What is Cryptoblackbird?
Cryptoblackbird is a crypto-fraud investigation and stolen-asset recovery firm based in Addison, Texas. We trace stolen cryptocurrency across the blockchain, maintain a public Watchlist of reported scam brokers, and help victims pursue recovery through exchanges, payment processors, banks, and law enforcement.
Is Cryptoblackbird legitimate and safe to use?
Yes. Cryptoblackbird is a real firm operating out of Addison, Texas. We never guarantee a recovery, never demand large upfront release, tax, or court-bond fees, and we show our work by tracing the funds on-chain. Anyone contacting you claiming to be Cryptoblackbird and asking for upfront crypto to unlock your money is an impersonator.
What does Cryptoblackbird do?
We investigate cryptocurrency scams, reconstruct where stolen funds went hop by hop, file evidence-backed freeze requests with exchanges and processors while the trail is warm, document scam brokers on our public Watchlist, and publish real, de-identified case files with honest, mixed outcomes.
Is Cryptoblackbird free?
Browsing the Watchlist and the case studies is completely free, and an initial review of your case costs nothing. If we take on recovery work, we explain the terms transparently before anything begins. We never charge a large upfront fee in exchange for a guaranteed recovery.
How do I check whether a crypto broker is a scam?
Search the Cryptoblackbird Watchlist for the platform name, and watch for the classic warning signs: a balance you cannot withdraw, fees demanded before a withdrawal, a borrowed or fake licence number, and pressure to deposit more. If you have already sent funds, open a case as soon as possible, because the sooner a theft is reported the more of the trail survives.
