Commissioned work
Reporting a scheme costs nothing and always will — that is the point of the Alliance. It puts a scheme on the record, and it may end up as a published report. What is paid for is a different thing entirely: your own case, worked on demand, to a deadline, with my name on the finding.
For getting a scheme on the record.
Send what you have and it goes into the intelligence pipeline. No fee, no account, no obligation.
For getting an answer about your own money, by a date.
A specific question about your own money, answered to a stated turnaround, in a document you can hand to somebody else.
Most people should take the free route. Pay only if somebody is waiting on a document — a solicitor, your bank’s fraud team, an exchange compliance desk, or a filing deadline. Not sure? Send the free report and I will tell you which one you need.
£125 · three working days from intake
The cheapest honest answer to “is there anything here?” One address, one hop, one verdict — traceable, partly traceable, or not — across every network that address operates on. If the answer is that you should stop spending money on this, that is what the report will say, and that is the whole product. The fee comes off anything you commission afterwards within 90 days.
Scheme name, whether the wallet is yours, and a reply address are needed before this can be sent. Everything else helps but is optional.
You do not enter a card to talk to me, and I will never ask you to pay before I have shown you there is something worth paying for.
If it goes further
Priced by the deliverable and bounded by depth — addresses, hops, transaction volume, endpoint — never by the hour. Networks are not a boundary: one address is searched across every network it operates on. Where an address carries more than a few hundred transfers in total, the work is re-quoted at Tier 1 before anything starts. Work beyond an agreed scope is re-quoted as a new fixed price. There is no hourly overflow rate. Reports are as long as the case requires. Scope is bounded by address and hop, never by length.
Where the trail reaches an exchange, or the funds are still sitting somewhere, you hear that part the same day.
One add-on is live today. It extends a report you already have rather than replacing it.
| Add-on | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Submission pack | £175 | Single claimant. The findings from a report you already have, restructured into the format a named authority asks for, with the exhibit index and a covering statement, in English. £175 on top of a Reality Check or Trace Report you have already paid for, or £300 for the two together from a standing start. I prepare it; you sign and submit it in your own name. It contains no evidence that is not already in your report — you are paying for the assembly, not for anything held back. I do not submit on your behalf, and I do not act as your legal representative. |
Listed so you can see where this is going. Each one opens up as the pieces behind it land. If you need one before then, ask — I will tell you plainly whether I can do it yet rather than take the work and find out.
| Add-on | Indicative price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Regulator submission pack | £1,500 | One co-ordinated submission pack for a whole cohort, built to a named regulator’s own format. Group cases only — for a single claimant, see the £175 submission pack above. |
| Expert declaration | £1,200 / day | A signed witness statement or declaration for proceedings. |
| Live status monitoring | £200 / month | Ongoing watch on a scheme’s addresses, with movement alerts and a monthly note. |
| Walkthrough call | £150 | Forty-five minutes going through the findings with you, in plain English. |
If you are holding an invoice from me, this is the page to check it against. I will never send a payment address in the body of an email or a message. If you receive one that way, it did not come from me — substituting a near-identical address is one of the commonest attacks in this field.
Where the line is
Every line below describes something the people circling collapsed schemes routinely do. If you have been approached since you lost money, you may recognise more than one of them.
Ten percent of every fee is ringfenced to fund the tooling this work is produced with — infrastructure, data feeds, analysis systems, certification and insurance.
