How do I obtain a report on crypto for legal proceedings?<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

By R.T. (Tyler) Dijst<\/a>, blockchain investigator at Paucitas<\/p>\n

A report that is usable in proceedings does not start with the data but with the question. Paucitas works with your lawyer to establish exactly what needs to be proven or rebutted, and then delivers a report answering that question in a form the court can read.<\/div>\n

How Paucitas builds a report on crypto for legal proceedings<\/h2>\n

First we sharpen the question. Then we gather the data, record how we obtained it, carry out the analysis and write the report. Every figure in the report traces back to a transaction or an export line.<\/p>\n

We take account of the requirements placed on evidence: the provenance of the data is documented, the steps are repeatable and the evidential value<\/a> of each finding is stated separately.<\/p>\n

What you supply<\/h2>\n

The question or a draft of it, the relevant pleadings, the addresses, transaction hashes and export files, and the deadline that applies in the proceedings.<\/p>\n

What you receive<\/h2>\n

A report with the question, the provenance of the data, the method, the findings, the limitations and a conclusion, plus an annex with the underlying data. On request, a one page summary for the pleadings.<\/p>\n

We agree a lead time up front and report it immediately if that comes under pressure, so your lawyer can keep to the deadline.<\/p>\n

How to get started<\/h2>\n

Have your lawyer send the question and the deadline. In a first conversation you will hear whether the question can be answered with the available data.<\/p>\n

European supervisors publish background on crypto assets and the rules that apply to them: see ESMA<\/a> and EBA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We do not assess who is right. We establish the facts the court needs in order to assess that itself.<\/p>\n
