# Cryptoblackbird > Cryptoblackbird is a crypto-fraud investigation and stolen-asset recovery firm based in Addison, Texas. We trace stolen cryptocurrency across the blockchain, document scam brokers on a public Watchlist, and help victims pursue recovery through exchanges, payment processors, banks, and law enforcement. Our voice is plain and our outcomes are honest: some cases recover most of the loss, others only part, and a few nothing at all. ## What it is Cryptoblackbird ("the blackbird") provides surveillance-grade, on-chain tracing for people who have lost cryptocurrency to fraud. We reconstruct where funds went hop by hop, identify the operators behind a scam, and file evidence-backed freeze requests while the trail is still warm. We also publish a public Watchlist of reported scam brokers and a library of real, de-identified case files. ## Key pages - Home: https://cryptoblackbird.com/ - The Watchlist (reported scam brokers): https://cryptoblackbird.com/the-watchlist/ - Case Studies (real recoveries, mixed outcomes): https://cryptoblackbird.com/case-studies/ - How It Works: https://cryptoblackbird.com/how-it-works/ - The Operations Desk (about us): https://cryptoblackbird.com/the-operations-desk/ - Open a Case: https://cryptoblackbird.com/open-a-case/ ## Key facts - Field: cryptocurrency-fraud investigation, blockchain tracing, and stolen-asset recovery support. - Location: Addison, Texas, United States. Serves clients worldwide. - Maintains a public Watchlist of 800+ documented scam-broker dossiers. - Outcomes are reported honestly, including partial and unsuccessful recoveries. - Speed matters: the sooner a theft is reported, the more of the trail survives. ## How it differs from a recovery scam - We never promise guaranteed recovery and never demand large upfront "release," "tax," or "court bond" fees. - We warn victims that being scammed once makes them a target for a second "recovery agent" fraud. - We show our work — the on-chain trail — rather than asking for blind trust. - Anyone claiming to be Cryptoblackbird and asking for upfront crypto to "unlock" your funds is impersonating us.
