ABOUT COINTIVERSE
We map what was lost.
Cointiverse was founded on a single observation: every cryptocurrency theft leaves a trail, and every trail can be charted with enough patience and the right instruments. The chain remembers. We are the firm that reads what the chain remembers and turns it into evidence, leverage, and recovery.
Our cartographers come from forensic accounting, blockchain analytics, and federal-level financial investigations. We work in Pasadena, California — a few miles from JPL, in a building where most days the loudest sound is keyboards.
By the numbers
Public-facing metrics from the cartographer’s desk. Updated quarterly. All anonymized; no individual case is identifiable from the aggregate.
SIX PRINCIPLES
How the cartographer’s desk operates.
The chain remembers.
Every transaction leaves a record. Where the record exists, the cartographer can read it. Where it does not, we say so plainly.
The map is the deliverable.
Not the press release, not the case story. A courtroom-grade visual of where every fragment of stolen value went, who held it, and where the recovery handles are.
Honesty before engagement.
If the trail is exhausted, we tell you before you pay an engagement fee. No false hope. No padded scope. The triage verdict is free.
We don’t invent paths.
The map either creates a path to recovery or it does not. We do not manufacture leads. We do not promise outcomes that the chain doesn’t support.
Compliance is the lever.
Recovery happens through regulated exchanges, civil claims, and regulator filings — not through hacking, key recovery, or anything that crosses legal boundaries.
The case file outlives the case.
Every engagement, anonymized, joins our forensic library. Patterns from your case quietly inform the next victim’s intake. The map gets sharper with every star added.
How we are different
Most recovery firms send victims a report. Cointiverse sends a map — a courtroom-grade visual of every wallet your funds touched, every mixer they passed through, every exchange they hit, and every off-ramp where the laundering attempt ended. The map is the deliverable. The map is also the lever — it is what compliance officers act on, what regulators file on, and what civil counsel attaches to a claim.
The difference compounds. A report tells you what happened. A map tells you what to do about it — and what specific entity in what specific jurisdiction is in a position to do something. That distinction is the entire reason Cointiverse exists.
Who we are
Cointiverse operates as a senior team of cartographers, analysts, and counsel. We do not publish individual names by default — the work is investigative and the operators it traces are sometimes adversarial. The composition below describes the disciplines, not the individuals.
Senior Cartographers
Our senior cartographers come from forensic accounting at firms with federal-level financial-crime experience — multi-year careers tracing complex laundering cases before crypto, applied now to chain-cartography work.
Chain Analysts
Our chain analysts have backgrounds at the intersection of academic cryptography research and operational security teams — people who built attribution tooling at scale before applying it to victim recovery.
Recovery Counsel
Our recovery counsel network includes attorneys with US, UK, EU, and APAC jurisdictional experience in financial-fraud civil action, crypto-specific compliance, and cross-border regulatory escalation.
Compliance posture
What you can expect from any engagement with the firm — and what you should expect from any legitimate forensic firm. If anyone offering recovery services to you fails any of the points below, they are not a forensic firm.
What we will not do
We will not promise recovery before we have charted the trail. We will not pursue cases where the on-chain evidence is exhausted. We will not engage in offensive hacking, key recovery, or any activity that crosses legal boundaries. The map exists or it does not. When it exists, we work it. When it does not, we tell you so.
Pasadena office
800 E Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena, CA 91101. The office sits on Pasadena’s main thoroughfare, a few miles from JPL and Caltech, walking distance from Paseo Pasadena. Visits are by appointment only — every case is opened under NDA before names or specifics are exchanged.
FROM THE CARTOGRAPHER’S DESK
Open a case. We chart it within 24 hours.
Free, NDA-backed initial review. We tell you whether the trail is chartable before any engagement fee.
