The recent attack on vulnerable COLDCARD wallets has shaken the Bitcoin community to its core. If your bitcoin was stolen, you’re probably wondering what to do next.
Every day, individuals and businesses lose cryptocurrency to investment scams, phishing attacks, wallet compromises, social engineering, romance scams, impersonation fraud, and other forms of financial crime.
After the initial shock, most victims ask the same questions:
Who do I report this to?
Can my local police help?
Should I contact a federal agency?
What information do investigators need?
Is there anything I should do immediately?
Unfortunately, many victims don't know where to start.
At Deconflict, we'd like to help.
Deconflict is offering free assistance to anyone who needs guidance navigating the reporting process after a cryptocurrency-related crime. Whether you're in the United States or another country, we'll do our best to help you understand the next steps and identify the appropriate law enforcement agency whenever possible.
Our team can help you:
Understand the reporting process.
Identify the appropriate law enforcement agency based on your location.
Explain what information investigators are likely to need.
Organize wallet addresses, transaction IDs, screenshots, and other evidence before reporting.
Help connect you with the appropriate authorities where possible.
There is no cost for this assistance.
Deconflict was founded by a former US Secret Service Special Agent. Today, more than 1,600 law enforcement agencies across all 50 US states and 37 countries use Deconflict to coordinate cryptocurrency investigations and share verified investigative intelligence.
While no one can promise the recovery of stolen funds, reporting incidents quickly and providing investigators with accurate information can make a meaningful difference. Early reporting can help preserve evidence, identify related cases, support ongoing investigations, and improve coordination between agencies.
Victims should also be cautious of anyone claiming they can guarantee recovery of stolen cryptocurrency, especially if they request upfront fees, remote access to your devices, or your wallet's private keys or seed phrase. Legitimate investigators will never ask for your private keys or seed phrase.
If you've been the victim of cryptocurrency theft or fraud and aren't sure where to begin, we're here to help.
You can contact the Deconflict investigations team at [email protected]. Please include a brief description of what happened, any relevant wallet addresses or transaction hashes, and your country of residence so we can help point you in the right direction.
Our goal is simple: help victims navigate the reporting process and connect them with the appropriate authorities, completely free of charge.
