Cryptocurrency Tracing for Forensic Accountants & Fraud Examiners
Your client says the funds "disappeared into crypto." Now what? BlockScout Law gives you the tools to trace transaction flows, identify exchange touchpoints, and document everything in formats your legal team can actually use.
Source of Funds Analysis
Trace where crypto came from and where it went — across wallets, mixers, and exchanges
Audit-Ready Documentation
Export transaction timelines, flow charts, and address summaries for your workpapers
Exchange Attribution
Identify when funds hit Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, and 100+ other VASPs for subpoena targeting
The Problem with Crypto Investigations
Traditional forensic accounting stops at the bank statement. But when your subject moves funds to a crypto exchange, you're suddenly looking at wallet addresses, transaction hashes, and blockchain explorers that weren't designed for financial investigations. You need tools built for accountants, not crypto traders.
Built for Real Investigations
The cases forensic accountants actually work on
Embezzlement & Employee Fraud
Employee diverted company funds to personal crypto wallets? Trace the flow from bank account to exchange to personal wallet, and document the conversion timeline.
Marital Dissipation
Spouse claims they "lost it all in crypto"? Verify the story by tracing actual transaction history and identifying where funds really ended up.
Investment Fraud & Ponzi Schemes
Follow investor funds through the scheme. Identify commingling, trace distributions, and map the flow of funds across multiple wallets.
Judgment Enforcement
Debtor hiding assets in crypto? Identify wallet addresses, estimate holdings, and generate documentation to support discovery requests.
Business Disputes
Partner misappropriating company crypto? Trace unauthorized transfers and document the flow of digital assets for litigation.
Due Diligence
Verify crypto holdings and transaction history before M&A deals, investments, or extending credit to crypto-heavy businesses.
How It Works
From wallet address to workpaper in minutes
Input Known Addresses
Start with any Bitcoin or Ethereum address from bank records, exchange statements, or client documents. Don't have one? We can help identify starting points from exchange transaction records.
Automated Clustering & Tracing
Our analysis identifies related addresses (likely controlled by the same entity), traces transaction flows, and flags interactions with known exchanges and services.
Entity Attribution
We identify which addresses belong to known exchanges (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, etc.), making it easy to target subpoenas and information requests.
Export Documentation
Generate professional PDF reports with transaction timelines, flow diagrams, and address summaries. Formats designed to integrate with your existing workpapers and case files.

What Forensic Accountants Say
"I had a case where the CFO claimed he 'invested company funds in crypto and lost it.' BlockScout showed the funds actually went to his personal wallet and then to an exchange. That changed everything."— CFE, CPA

Questions We Get
Do I need to understand blockchain technology?
No. If you can read a bank statement, you can use our reports. We translate blockchain data into transaction flows and timelines that make sense to accountants.
What blockchains do you support?
Bitcoin and Ethereum (including ERC-20 tokens). These cover the vast majority of forensic accounting cases. Additional chains coming soon.
Can your reports be used in court?
Our reports are designed to support expert testimony and litigation. They include methodology documentation and data source citations. Admissibility is ultimately determined by the court.
How do you identify exchanges?
We maintain a database of known exchange addresses and use clustering algorithms to identify exchange interactions. We indicate confidence levels for each attribution.
What if the subject used a mixer or privacy tools?
We can identify when funds interact with mixing services. While tracing through mixers has limitations, we can often trace funds before and after mixing, and document the obfuscation attempt itself.
Do you provide expert witness services?
Yes. We can provide expert witness testimony to support our analysis. Contact us to discuss expert engagement for your case.
