Lost access to your own wallet? A relative died and left a device you can't open? Settling an estate and not sure if crypto exists? We investigate, recover, and report. Financial investigator. Free consultation, with an honest assessment before you commit to anything.
Some people contact us because they bought bitcoin years ago and can't get back in. A forgotten password. An old laptop that won't boot. A seed phrase lost in a move. The coins are still there — they just can't reach them.
Others contact us because a relative died and they found something — an old laptop, a USB drive, a handwritten note, a hardware wallet — and no probate has been opened yet. No lawyer or legal proceeding required. If you have a device and a suspicion, that's enough to start.
Executors and administrators contact us — with or without an attorney — because their fiduciary duty requires them to identify all estate assets. A written findings report from a professional investigator is the strongest evidence that duty was fulfilled. No attorney required to engage us directly.
In every case, the first step is the same: a free, confidential 15-minute consultation where we assess the situation and tell you honestly whether investigation is likely to help — and what it would cost if it is.
Matthew Snyder is a financial investigator with 15+ years of experience in asset recovery, financial investigation, and OSINT research. He brings the same discipline used in tracing hidden financial assets to bitcoin and crypto recovery — combining forensic device examination, digital footprint investigation, and GPU-accelerated password recovery in a single engagement.
Most recovery services do one thing: run password cracking software and hope for a match. Forensica goes further. If a wallet file isn't immediately accessible, device forensics can recover deleted files and examine unallocated drive space. If a password is unknown, OSINT research builds a targeted list from the person's life — far more effective than generic wordlists against a slow hash like Bitcoin Core's. If assets might exist but haven't been located, digital footprint investigation can find exchange registrations, forum activity, and transaction history that no software scan will surface.
Every engagement is conducted personally by Matthew. No junior staff, no outsourcing. You'll know exactly what was examined, how, and what was found — whether or not assets are recovered.
If you're not sure which applies, the free consultation will sort it out — most people aren't sure when they first call.
Every engagement follows the same five steps. You'll know exactly where things stand at each stage.
Consultations are free, confidential, and take approximately 15 minutes. We'll review your situation, assess whether investigation is likely to help, and explain exactly what the engagement would involve — with no obligation to proceed.
We work with clients nationwide. No attorney or legal proceeding required to engage us. Devices are shipped to us for forensic analysis; once access is restored, you regain control of the wallet and the assets are yours to move as you choose. Local clients in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky can arrange in-person meetings.
You do not need an attorney or an open probate proceeding to contact us. If you have a device and a suspicion that a relative held crypto, that's enough to start. For estate matters where probate is open, we can work directly with you as executor or administrator — or alongside your attorney if one is involved. We can help you understand your options during the free consultation regardless of where you are in the process.
Tell us about your situation. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help — and if so, exactly what that looks like.
