When This Service Applies
Many crypto-related losses begin with compromised banking credentials or social-engineering attacks that lead to unauthorized transfers, card payments, or account takeovers used to buy digital assets. Sleutheon assists with documentation, coordination, and recovery pathways in these hybrid cases.
Typical Situations
- Unauthorized wire or ACH transfers to crypto exchanges or OTC desks
- Compromised online banking leading to purchases of Bitcoin, stablecoins, or other assets
- SIM-swap or account-takeover attacks that enabled bank + exchange access
- Fraudulent merchant or card-not-present transactions funding crypto wallets
- Business accounts used without authorization for digital asset acquisition
How We Assist
- Immediate containment advice – steps to lock accounts, revoke access, and notify institutions
- Evidence packaging – timelines, transaction IDs, IP logs, and communication records suitable for banks and law enforcement
- Institution coordination – structured outreach to banks, payment processors, and (where relevant) exchanges
- On-chain tracing support – when funds moved into cryptocurrency, we can assist with tracking and freeze requests where legally available
- Recovery claims – guidance on chargebacks, insurance, and formal recovery processes
What You Should Do First
- Contact your bank’s fraud department immediately and request account locks / new credentials
- File a police report or cybercrime report if significant funds are involved
- Preserve all emails, SMS, and transaction records
- Do not send further funds or “verification” payments to anyone claiming they can reverse the transfers
Realistic Expectations
Bank and payment recovery success depends on speed of reporting, the policies of the financial institutions involved, and whether funds remain within reversible systems. Once assets have moved deep into privacy-focused or mixer services, recovery becomes substantially harder. We provide honest assessments of likelihood based on the specific fact pattern.
