Intelligence for Asset Recovery Assistance

Intelligence-based asset recovery refers to the use of investigative techniques, financial analysis, blockchain analysis, open-source research, corporate records, and other lawful intelligence sources to identify how assets moved and where they may be located. CNC Intelligence prepares investigative reports and supporting evidence that may assist law firms, law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, or other authorized parties in evaluating potential recovery options. CNC Intelligence does not directly recover funds or provide legal recovery services.

In some cases, bank-wire funds can be traced using transaction records, beneficiary information, bank statements, corporate records, communications, and other available evidence. The ability to trace a transfer depends on the quality of the documentation, the jurisdictions involved, how quickly the matter is reported, and whether the funds have moved through additional accounts.

Asset tracing is the investigative process of identifying the movement, location, ownership, or control of assets. Asset recovery is the separate legal or regulatory process of seeking to freeze, seize, return, or otherwise recover those assets. CNC Intelligence provides tracing, intelligence, and reporting; it does not directly seize or recover client funds.

Asset tracing may assist investigations involving investment fraud, cryptocurrency scams, romance scams, business email compromise, wire fraud, impersonation schemes, Ponzi schemes, misappropriation, corporate fraud, and other financial crimes. The appropriate investigative approach depends on how the funds were sent and what evidence is available.

CNC Intelligence investigates both cryptocurrency transactions and traditional financial matters, including bank transfers, corporate entities, payment processors, digital platforms, and related financial or cyber intelligence. The appropriate investigative approach depends on the payment method, available evidence, jurisdictions involved, and the client’s objectives.

For cryptocurrency matters, CNC Intelligence can trace activity across many major blockchain networks. A current list of supported blockchains is available on our Cryptocurrency Tracing Price List page.

For bank transfers and other fiat transactions, tracing is not always the most effective or economical investigative approach. Depending on the circumstances and information available, other investigative services—such as identifying the individuals or entities involved, corporate research, due diligence, cyber intelligence, or related investigative work—may provide greater value. Each case must be evaluated individually to determine whether an investigation is appropriate and economically feasible and, if so, which investigative strategy is likely to be the most useful and cost-effective.

Yes. CNC Intelligence provides investigative intelligence, forensic reports, blockchain analysis, supporting exhibits, and technical assistance to law firms and law enforcement agencies. Any subpoena, court order, freezing application, seizure, or legal recovery action must be handled by the relevant authorized party.

CNC Intelligence reviews cross-border fraud matters involving international wire transfers, cryptocurrency, foreign companies, websites, payment platforms, investment schemes, and other relevant entities. The team can evaluate the available evidence and determine which investigative services may be appropriate and economically feasible. International matters are often more complex because laws, banking procedures, disclosure rules, and available remedies vary between jurisdictions.

Useful evidence may include bank statements, wire confirmations, cryptocurrency transaction hashes, wallet addresses, exchange records, payment receipts, contracts, invoices, emails, chat messages, phone numbers, websites, company names, screenshots, and police or regulator reference numbers. Preserve original records and do not alter screenshots or delete communications.

Once relevant assets, accounts, wallets, exchanges, banks, companies, or service providers are identified, CNC Intelligence may prepare an investigative report and supporting documentation. Depending on the circumstances, the report may be used by attorneys, law enforcement agencies, regulators, banks, exchanges, insolvency professionals, or other authorized parties when evaluating preservation requests, subpoenas, disclosure applications, freezing orders, or other lawful options. CNC Intelligence does not itself seize, freeze, or recover the assets.

Recovery may be possible in some cases, but no legitimate company can guarantee it. The available options depend on factors such as how quickly the incident is reported, where the assets moved, whether they reached an identifiable exchange or other service provider, the jurisdictions involved, the available evidence, whether assets remain available, and the legal remedies that may apply. CNC Intelligence provides cryptocurrency tracing, investigative intelligence, and forensic reporting that may support lawful recovery efforts by authorized parties, but it does not directly recover funds or guarantee any outcome.

No. CNC Intelligence does not guarantee recovery or any particular investigative, legal, or financial outcome. Recovery depends on factors outside an investigator’s control, including timing, jurisdiction, available evidence, whether assets remain available, third-party cooperation, and the legal remedies available in the relevant location.

Each case is reviewed individually. The team considers the type of fraud, payment method, amount involved, jurisdictions, available records, suspected parties, movement of assets, and intended use of the report. A case-specific scope, estimated timeline, deliverables, and investigation plan can then be discussed.

Schedule a consultation through the official CNC Intelligence website and provide a concise summary of what happened, how the funds were sent, the approximate amount involved, relevant dates, and the evidence currently available. The team can then assess which investigative service may be appropriate.
