Investigations
Undisclosed Cryptocurrency Investigation
Investigating suspected hidden or undisclosed digital assets.
When the financial picture does not add up, cryptocurrency is one of the places value can sit quietly. Evident investigates whether digital assets exist, where they have moved and what the available evidence can demonstrate.
We work from what can be established rather than what can be assumed. Every finding is separated into verified fact, supported inference and open question.
How we approach it
01
Scoping the question
We begin by defining precisely what needs to be established, and what information is already available: disclosure documents, statements, addresses, device references or correspondence.
02
Identification and reconstruction
We identify relevant addresses and reconstruct on-chain movement across wallets, exchanges and blockchains, building a chronological picture of activity.
03
Attribution and corroboration
We assess connections between wallet activity, services and identifiable entities, and test on-chain findings against independent information.
What to expect
From enquiry to deliverables
A clear, staged process from your first contact to the final report. You will always know what stage the matter is at and what comes next.
Step 01
Initial enquiry
You tell us, in outline, what has happened and what you need to establish. No sensitive account details are needed at this stage.
Step 02
Confidential discussion
We review your summary and arrange an initial confidential discussion to understand the matter and the evidence you already hold.
Step 03
Scope and proposal
We set out what can realistically be investigated, the approach we would take, and the likely cost. If an investigation is not justified, we say so here.
Step 04
Instruction and investigation
Once instructed, we carry out the investigation using our defined framework, keeping you informed at agreed points.
Step 05
Findings and deliverables
You receive a clear written report of the findings, with each conclusion graded as verified fact, supported inference or unknown, ready to share with your advisers.
Step 06
Debrief and next steps
We talk you through the report, answer questions, and outline the options the findings support.
