Paucitas investigates the transactions and parties around a suspected case, without taking a position in advance, and records the findings in a report that is factual and verifiable.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pcb-key\">An independent crypto fraud investigation does not begin with a conclusion, but with the on-chain facts that either support or refute a suspicion.<\/div>\n<h2>What does a crypto fraud investigation cover?<\/h2>\n<p>Fraud involving crypto takes many forms, from a <a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/fraud-and-scams\/fake-crypto-platform\/\">fake crypto platform<\/a> to a <a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/fraud-and-scams\/boiler-room\/\">boiler room operation<\/a>. An investigation establishes what demonstrably happened: which transactions took place, which platforms and addresses were involved, and where the money flowed. We distinguish the underlying concept of <a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/fraud-and-scams\/crypto-fraud\/\">crypto fraud<\/a> from the specific case in front of us.<\/p>\n<h2>How Paucitas investigates<\/h2>\n<p>We combine <a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/technical-terms\/blockchain-analysis\/\">blockchain analysis<\/a> with administrative research. We reconstruct the transaction history, map the platforms and counterparties, and record where the funds flow, including any points that connect to <a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/technical-terms\/kyc-and-aml\/\">services with KYC and AML obligations<\/a>. The result is a neutral account that does not assume guilt or innocence, but documents the facts.<\/p>\n<h2>What you can expect from us<\/h2>\n<p>We work without judgement in advance. Whether the facts confirm or weaken a suspicion, we report them as they are. Our findings are structured so they can be used in a police report, a civil procedure or a conversation with your bank, and so that another expert can verify them.<\/p>\n<h2>Our approach step by step<\/h2>\n<p>An investigation starts with an intake in which we establish what happened and which data is available. We then reconstruct the transactions, map the parties and money flow, and bring everything together in a verifiable report. Where relevant we align the report with the needs of lawyers and authorities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pcb-links\">\n<h2>Related terms and background<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/fraud-and-scams\/crypto-fraud\/\">What counts as crypto fraud<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/fraud-and-scams\/fake-crypto-platform\/\">How a fake crypto platform operates<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/fraud-and-scams\/boiler-room\/\">What a boiler room is<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/fraud-and-scams\/pig-butchering\/\">How a pig butchering scam unfolds<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/technical-terms\/blockchain-analysis\/\">What blockchain analysis involves<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pcb-links\">\n<h2>Further reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/blog\/crypto-fraud-recognize\/\">How to recognise crypto fraud<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/blog\/pig-butchering-crypto-fraud\/\">How pig butchering crypto fraud works<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/blog\/deepfake-crypto-fraud\/\">The role of deepfakes in crypto fraud<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pcb-links\">\n<h2>Related topics<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/topics\/investigating-investment-fraud\/\">Investigating investment fraud<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/topics\/stolen-crypto-tracing\/\">Stolen crypto tracing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions about crypto fraud investigation<\/h2>\n<h3>Will you tell me whether it was fraud?<\/h3>\n<p>We establish the facts: which transactions took place and where the funds went.
