Investigating investment fraud
In short
When an investment turns out to involve crypto and something feels wrong, an investigation establishes what demonstrably happened behind the platform.
- Paucitas investigates the transactions, platforms and money flow around suspected investment fraud.
- We reconstruct on-chain where the deposited funds went and which parties were involved.
- Our findings are factual and verifiable, suitable for a police report, a civil procedure or a bank.
- We establish the facts without judging the outcome in advance.
Did you invest through a platform and now suspect something is wrong? Paucitas focuses on investigating investment fraud by reconstructing the transactions, platforms and money flow around a suspected case, and recording the findings factually and verifiably.
What does investment fraud with crypto look like?
Suspected investment fraud often runs through a platform that looks legitimate but cannot be withdrawn from, sometimes set up as a pig butchering scheme that builds trust over weeks. The deposits are real and visible on-chain, even when the displayed “returns” are not. An investigation separates the platform’s presentation from the actual movement of funds.
How Paucitas investigates
We reconstruct the transaction history of your deposits using blockchain analysis, map which addresses and platforms received the funds, and record where they flowed onward, including any cash-out points that connect to identifiable services. We document the facts without assuming guilt or innocence.
What you can expect from us
We report what the data shows. Where the funds went, which parties were involved, and which leads exist are recorded so that you and your advisers have a verifiable basis for a police report, a civil procedure or a discussion with your bank.
Our approach step by step
We begin with an intake to establish what happened and which data is available, such as deposit confirmations, transaction hashes and platform correspondence. We then reconstruct the flow of funds, map the parties, and bring the findings together in a verifiable report.

Frequently asked questions about investigating investment fraud
The platform still shows my balance. Is the money gone?
A displayed balance is part of the platform’s presentation and does not reflect where your deposits actually went. We trace the real on-chain movement of the funds you deposited, independently of what the platform shows.
Can your report support a police report?
Yes. The findings are factual and verifiable, structured so they can support a police report or civil procedure and be checked by another expert.
