If someone drained your crypto wallet without permission, give an investigator the unauthorized transaction hashes, affected wallet address, cryptocurrency and network, and records showing what happened before and after the drain. Jim Recovery Team can use this information to identify the relevant transactions, analyze where the assets were sent, and assess the case for further investigation.

Start With the Unauthorized Transactions

The most important records are the transactions that moved your cryptocurrency out of the wallet. Each TXID or transaction hash can help establish:

Which assets were transferred
Amounts moved
Destination addresses
Transaction times
Blockchain network used
Subsequent activity from the receiving addresses

If several assets were drained in separate transactions, provide all of them rather than selecting only the largest transfer.

Give the Investigator the Wallet Addresses

Provide your affected wallet address and every destination address shown in the unauthorized transactions, if available. These addresses allow the investigator to examine the transaction relationships and follow relevant movements after the drain.

If the funds were divided between several wallets, each destination may represent a separate branch of the investigation.

Explain What Happened Before the Drain

The circumstances surrounding the unauthorized transactions can be just as important as the transactions themselves.

Include information about any recent wallet connection, suspicious website, phishing message, compromised account, unfamiliar approval, or other event that occurred before you noticed the theft. Screenshots and messages can help establish the timeline.

Preserve the Supporting Records

Useful evidence can include wallet screenshots, exchange records, transaction notifications, website addresses, scam communications, account information, and a timeline showing when you discovered the unauthorized activity.

Do not provide your seed phrase or private key. An investigator does not need those credentials to examine public blockchain transactions.

What Can an Investigation Determine?

The available evidence can be used to reconstruct the unauthorized transfers and examine where the stolen assets moved afterward. Depending on the transaction history, the trail may show transfers between wallets, splitting or consolidation, swaps, or movement toward a recognizable service.

Finding a destination wallet does not automatically identify the person controlling it. Attribution is a separate question that may require additional evidence.

If you want the wallet drain professionally investigated, Jim Recovery Team can take the unauthorized transaction records and supporting evidence, analyze the destination wallets, reconstruct the relevant fund movements, and assess the case for further tracing or possible recovery efforts.

For a case assessment, contact [email protected] or WhatsApp +1 (929) 399-9264. Provide the affected wallet address, unauthorized TXIDs, cryptocurrency and networks involved, screenshots, and a timeline of the incident. The initial assessment can help determine what was transferred, where the assets moved, and what should be investigated next.
