Counter Initiatives is a counter-cybercrime firm. We work with victims of crypto theft, romance scams, and investment fraud to repatriate stolen funds through on-chain forensics, exchange compliance, and cross-jurisdictional legal action.
Accredited · Audited · Partnered with global enforcement
Each practice is led by senior investigators with sector-specific experience. We do not generalise — we specialise, and that is why we win cases other firms decline.
Recovery is a discipline. Six phases, milestone reviews, and a named lead investigator at every step.
Speak with a senior intake investigator within 60 minutes. We assess feasibility, jurisdiction, and a recovery path — at no cost.
Secure upload of transaction hashes, wallet addresses, chat logs, and platform receipts. Our forensics team begins on-chain tracing the same day.
We deobfuscate mixers, bridges, and shell wallets to attribute funds to identifiable entities — exchanges, OTC desks, or named actors.
Working with partner law firms in 32 jurisdictions, we serve freezing orders, exchange disclosure subpoenas, and emergency injunctions.
Funds are released into a regulated escrow, audited, and repatriated to your account. No recovery, no fee — guaranteed in writing.
Account hardening, OPSEC review, and ongoing monitoring to make sure you are not re-targeted by adjacent scam networks.
On-chain tracing begins within hours, not weeks. Time is the single biggest variable in recovery.
Qualifying cases run on a written contingency. We take the risk so you do not have to.
Partner law firms across 32 jurisdictions and direct liaison with INTERPOL, FBI IC3, and Europol EC3.
Our specialists are trained for romance and elder fraud. You will not be judged. Ever.
SOC-2 audited, encrypted intake. Privilege via partner counsel. NDAs as standard.
Chainalysis Reactor, TRM Labs, ACFE, and ex-CID staff. Every case has a named senior lead.
"I lost £284,000 to a fake trading platform over six months. Counter Initiatives traced the funds across three exchanges and recovered 78% within four months. They never made me feel stupid. They made me feel heard."
"After my husband died, a man on a dating site spent eight months grooming me before stealing $412,000 in USDT. I'd written it off. The team at CI got most of it back — and got the platform delisted."
"Our DAO was drained for 1,840 ETH through a malicious signature. I'd been told it was unrecoverable. CI's on-chain team tracked the funds through Tornado Cash and recovered 91% via exchange freezes."
"Local police told me there was nothing they could do. CI worked with prosecutors in three countries and recovered the funds in 11 weeks. The investigator updated me every Friday without fail."
No legitimate firm promises certainty in recovery. Here is what we can — and cannot — do.
