These resources provide education and help you make the most informed decisions. While you may decide to seek legal help or engage a service to guide you through this process, you never have to pay anyone to report a crime, file a claim, or search a seizure notice. Beware of scams.

Tracing Your Wallet

Crypto transactions leave a public record on the blockchain. These tools let you see whether a wallet has already been reported, watch its activity, map where your money went, and prepare documentation for filing purposes. Tracing doesn’t move money back — its value is in understanding your options and preparing evidence that makes your reports and petitions stronger.
