$2.57 Billion Lost
FBI reports cryptocurrency investment fraud hits $2.57 billion — a 183% increase from 2021. Pig butchering becomes the dominant scam methodology.
100,000+ Trafficked
UN estimates 100,000-150,000 people held in Cambodian scam compounds alone. Annual losses reach $4 billion. The world begins to take notice.

FAQ
Sometimes. Recovery depends on where the funds went, how quickly the theft is reported, and whether the assets were frozen or seized. No honest lawyer can guarantee a result — anyone who does is running a recovery scam.
Never. We do not accept cryptocurrency as payment at any stage, ever. If someone claiming to represent this firm asks you to send crypto, it is not us.
Look us up in your state bar's public attorney directory, and insist on a video consultation with the licensed attorney who would handle your case. We encourage every client to verify before they hire.
Fraudsters who target people who have already been scammed, promising to retrieve lost funds for an upfront fee. They prey on victims twice. Legitimate counsel will never demand crypto up front or guarantee recovery.
Stop all contact with the scammer, preserve every message, transaction hash, and wallet address, and report the loss to the FBI's IC3. Then speak with a licensed attorney about your options.
