Evidentiary Strategy

A blockchain-forensic expert is an invaluable asset in helping lawyers craft a robust evidentiary strategy for cases involving cryptocurrencies while avoiding potential pitfalls in the early stages of litigation and during discovery. We help discern and zoom in on the critical factual questions that underlie the case and can determine and advise on which of these questions can be effectively answered based on available public data, which ones require private data and how to obtain those, and which ones cannot be answered as a matter of principle.

With their deep understanding of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency transactions, our experts meticulously analyze the digital evidence, ensuring that only the most relevant and legally admissible information is brought to the forefront. They can play a central role in determining the feasibility of addressing specific factual inquiries, empowering your legal team to navigate complex cases with confidence and avoiding the need to pivot strategy down the road due to mistaken initial assumptions about which facts are available to base an argument on.

Additionally, we can provide expert testimony in court to establish the true extent of a spouse's cryptocurrency holdings, helping to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of assets during divorce proceedings.

Discovery Support

Despite the fundamentally public nature of the blockchain, essential data for tracking fund flows or confirming address ownership often resides with private entities like exchanges and coin-swap services. Our experts are here to assist legal teams during the discovery phase of litigation. We provide strategic guidance on the selection of third parties to subpoena, provide draft documents detailing the exact data required, and advise on the most effective methods to serve subpoenas, ensuring the acquisition of vital information to strengthen your case.

Additionally, we aid in determining the necessary data requests from counterparties and navigate through objections raised by opposing parties concerning data sharing. Trust us to help you access the critical information you need to build a compelling case and overcome any hurdles in the process.

Forensic Investigation

Utilizing a combination of publicly available and proprietary blockchain data, we conduct in-depth follow-the-money investigations to pinpoint the origins, destinations, and routes of cryptocurrency funds. Leveraging our extensive experience in unraveling cryptocurrency flows in both criminal and civil contexts, we possess the expertise to identify and interpret intricate patterns within the blockchain. Our approach integrates a variety of cutting-edge analysis and visualization tools, ensuring that our findings are meticulously documented and presented in a clear and accessible manner.

Expert Testimony

Our expert testimony services encompass a comprehensive and authoritative approach to enlightening the court on critical aspects of the cryptocurrency landscape. Drawing from our extensive experience and in-depth knowledge, we offer subject-matter expertise on a broad spectrum of topics. This includes, but is not limited to, shedding light on the behaviors and practices of cryptocurrency users and other ecosystem participants, the technical functioning of blockchain technology, and common compliance practices within the cryptocurrency industry.

Our seasoned professionals not only possess a profound understanding of the technical intricacies of blockchains but also excel in making these complex concepts accessible to judges and juries.

Service by NFT

Courts have increasingly allowed plaintiffs to serve unknown or difficult-to-find, overseas defendants by sending a blockchain-token to a blockchain address known to belong to the defendant. FTCA GOV is well-versed in the technical execution of this process and stands ready to assist your firm with serving elusive defendants for your clients in this manner.
