Theft & Asset Misappropriation

Cryptocurrency taken from your wallet or account?

We investigate the movement of your stolen funds, trace intermediate hops, and document the verifiable blockchain facts.

Situation: “Cryptocurrency was stolen from my wallet or account”
Recognizing The Pattern

What happened in this scam?

Whether through malware, unauthorized account access, physical device theft, or fraudulent transfer requests, stolen cryptocurrency leaves an unbroken cryptographic trail across the public ledger. We follow that trail to identify where the assets landed.

Common Red Flags & Tactics Experienced By Victims
1Unexplained zero balances on your private wallet or software wallet
2Notifications from exchange accounts indicating unauthorized logins or API key withdrawals
3Malicious malware on desktop or mobile devices intercepting clipboard wallet addresses
4Compromised cloud backup files containing seed phrases or recovery keys
Individual reviewing frozen account withdrawal alerts on a deceptive trading platform
Real-World Situation

When withdrawals are blocked and demands for fees begin.

Victims typically realise something is wrong when a platform demands unexpected “tax clearance fees” or “liquidity verification” before allowing withdrawals. While the dashboard numbers are simulated, where your actual cryptocurrency moved is permanently recorded on the blockchain.

Case Review

Clipboard Malware Redirection Theft

Funds Involved: $42,000 BTC
The Incident:

A user copied a recipient address to send 1.2 BTC, but clipboard malware on their computer replaced the address with an attacker’s wallet, causing the funds to be sent to a thief.

What Fundoraid Discovered:

Fundoraid mapped the stolen Bitcoin through a series of peel chain transactions across 18 hops, identifying that 0.85 BTC was sent directly to a deposit address at an exchange requiring Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification.

The Outcome & Next Steps:

Fundoraid identified the KYC-verified account holding the funds, providing actionable records to initiate the recovery of the stolen Bitcoin.

Clear, transparent answers without false promises.

Yes. Bitcoin operates on an immutable public ledger (the UTXO model). Every single satoshi can be followed mathematically from its source address through intermediate wallets to its final destination.
