Tips for Tracking Down Cryptocurrency in a Divorce
Our platform simplifies the process of uncovering hidden cryptocurrency assets in a divorce. By entering your spouse’s known addresses or those they’ve sent funds to, we can generate a comprehensive report showing where the funds are and track their movement. This empowers your lawyer to take appropriate action and ensures you get a fair settlement.
Check Devices: Look for any cryptocurrency apps on your spouse's phone or computer. Copy and paste any wallet addresses you find, as they can be long and prone to errors if manually typed.
Email and Message Searches: Search through emails and messages for keywords related to cryptocurrency, such as exchange confirmations, account creation emails, or transaction notifications. These communications can provide important details like wallet addresses, transaction dates, and amounts.
Save Screenshots: If you find relevant information, take screenshots and store them securely. This documentation could be crucial later in the investigation.
Look for Crypto Transactions: Examine bank and credit card statements for any charges related to cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase, Crypto.com, Kraken, or apps like Robinhood, PayPal, and CashApp. If you spot any, request the transaction history and pass this information on to your lawyer for further analysis.
Avoid Alerting Your Spouse: When accessing devices, avoid changing settings or doing anything that could alert your spouse to your investigation. This includes not logging into apps or triggering notifications.
Password Recovery: If the device is password-protected, consider any shared accounts, cloud backups, or security questions that could help you gain access without raising suspicion.
Monitor Account Activity: Even after gathering initial information, continue monitoring known accounts and addresses for any new transactions. Use alerts or notifications from exchanges and wallets to stay updated.
Analyze Transfers: If funds were transferred to a self-hosted wallet, our service can help your lawyer track these assets. We can also set up alerts for any future movements of the funds.
Locate Seed Phrases: If you find a seed phrase (a list of 12 or 24 words), enter it into a wallet app like Exodus to retrieve the associated addresses. This can uncover additional assets your spouse may be hiding.
Full Report Generation: Once you have gathered wallet addresses, enter them into our system. We’ll provide a comprehensive report that details where the funds are currently located, as well as an accounting of all transactions.
