Services for institutions and private clients.
Three coordinated services, one custody desk. Every engagement scoped, briefed, and delivered with a chain-of-custody dossier.

How we structure work.
No mystery box pricing. Fees are scoped in writing during the 30-minute triage call, before any work begins.
Triage call
30-minute scoping conversation with the assigned analyst. No charge. You walk away with a clearer picture of options — even if we are not the right fit.
Investigation retainer
Flat fee covering custody audit + on-chain tracing + dossier drafting. Scoped to your case complexity, confirmed in writing before work begins.
Liaison hours
Optional follow-on time for exchange outreach, regulator coordination, or counsel support. Billed hourly with a written cap. No surprises.
What we do not do: demand cryptocurrency payment from breach victims, require success-based percentages above industry standards, or bill for time not pre-authorized in writing.

Engagements we handle.
If your matter is not here, ask anyway — we will tell you during triage whether we are the right desk.
Withdrawal stalls
Broker accepts deposits then introduces “compliance verification,” “tax clearance,” or “release fees” before withdrawal. Classic custody breach pattern.
Romance & pig-butchering
Long-tail social engineering schemes targeting individual investors. We trace where funds went and document the engagement for counsel and law enforcement.
Recovery-agent scams
Secondary fraud where “recovery agents” cold-contact victims and request additional payment to “release” frozen funds. We document the chain and prepare filings.
Key & seed loss
Wallet access loss, accidental key compromise, or family-office key custody disputes. Forensic recovery where chain analysis is the path forward.
Exchange compliance disputes
Account freezes, KYC disputes, or compliance-driven asset holds at centralized exchanges. We prepare formal compliance correspondence.
Counterparty fraud
OTC desk fraud, fake institutional issuers, ransomware proceeds. Where the counterparty has identifiable touchpoints on-chain, tracing is actionable.
Institutional rigor, private-client warmth.
Cryptoslock combines the procedural rigor of custody banking with the responsiveness private clients expect. Every engagement is led by a senior analyst — not a junior intake screener.
Our intake calendar is intentionally narrow. We work fewer cases at higher quality rather than carrying a high case volume. If your matter is accepted, your case gets desk attention.
The triage call is free.
30 minutes with an analyst. Written scope, fees, and timeline by the end of the call.
