Common Incidents
Cryptocurrencies often become a key point of contention in divorce cases, as their decentralized nature and perceived anonymity make them attractive for individuals attempting to conceal or move assets.
Our blockchain forensic experts have been instrumental in supporting both parties and their legal teams by tracing and documenting cryptocurrency transactions, uncovering hidden assets in wallets and exchange accounts, and accurately assessing the value of these digital assets. This comprehensive analysis ensures a clear understanding of an individual’s cryptocurrency holdings.
Furthermore, we offer expert testimony in court to establish the true extent of a spouse’s cryptocurrency assets, helping ensure a fair and just distribution of wealth during divorce proceedings.
Cryptocurrency-related cybercrime often leads to consumer protection claims against third parties, including cryptocurrency exchanges and telecommunications providers. Victims may argue that these entities were negligent, asserting that their actions or inactions enabled the crimes and caused financial losses. Conversely, these companies often defend themselves by demonstrating that they took all reasonable precautions to prevent such incidents.
Our experts have supported both plaintiffs and defendants in these cases by independently reconstructing events, analyzing the causal chain, and evaluating the actions taken or alternative measures that could have been implemented. This thorough assessment helps clarify complex incidents, contributing to fair and equitable resolutions.
