Fraudsters continue to embrace crypto as a mechanism to facilitate fraud, or a route for the obfuscation and dissipation of stolen assets. Having traditionally been disinclined to respect borders or the rule of law, fraudsters are using the internet, secure global messaging apps and crypto assets to defraud victims on a global scale.

​

VERUM's  intelligence and asset tracing team investigate the technical and non-technical clues, leveraging off tracing where the funds went and identifying responsible parties. This approach provides choices from an enforcement and asset recovery perspective: to follow the funds or to find, sue or prosecute the person(s) responsible. 

 

We act directly for victims and their legal advisers but also work with liquidators, especially in insolvencies where fraud or misconduct is suspected. We have strong partnerships with leading technology providers in the blockchain space, working together to create new tools to pioneer novel attribution and tracing techniques. Our financial partners can offer funding for recoveries, and help to maximize returns on asset divestment safely and securely.

 

VERUM's advantage in crypto tracing and recovery lies in our careful analysis of the blockchain, our experience in presenting evidence to courts and the diverse skills of our investigative teams, comprised not only of crypto practitioners but also of open-source specialist investigators, computer forensic experts, intelligence analysts, insolvency practitioners, forensic accountants and former prosecutors.
