START WITH A CONFIDENTIONAL CONSULTAION
When you contact Bloctopus Intelligence, your case is first reviewed by Peter Merc, Co-Founder of Bloctopus Intelligence. He helps assess your situation, understand the legal and investigative context, and identify the appropriate next steps.
Due to the sensitive nature of our work, we do not publicly disclose all investigators involved in forensic analysis and case support. This allows us to protect the integrity of ongoing investigations and the confidentiality of our clients.
SOME OF THE CASES WE HELPED RESOLVE
Crypto source of funds cases require more than transaction exports. These examples show how we reconstruct complex trading histories, compare reported claims with on-chain evidence, and prepare documentation that can be reviewed by banks, law firms and tax authorities.
SOURCE OF FUNDS VERIFICATION
Many crypto users only encounter Source-of-Funds (SoF) verification when their exchange account is suddenly restricted. Withdrawals are blocked, trading is disabled, and the user receives a request to “provide documentation confirming the origin of funds.”
This is not arbitrary. Most regulated crypto exchanges operate under anti-money laundering (AML) laws, which require this in case of suspicious account activity.
When a freeze occurs, specific documentation is required to demonstrate the origin of funds and a clear transaction history.
SOURCE OF FUNDS CASE FOR HIGH-VOLUME CRYPTO TRADING HISTORY
CASE OVERVIEW
A prominent UK law firm approached us on behalf of a client who was experiencing issues with his bank while cashing out crypto assets.
SITUATION
The client needed a full source of funds report covering more than seven years of intensive crypto trading across multiple blockchains. The matter required a clear reconstruction of the client’s crypto activity and supporting documentation that could be reviewed by financial and tax authorities.
OUR WORK
We conducted an in-depth investigation of the client’s complete crypto trading history. In total, we analysed and mapped over 20,000 transactions, identified more than 200 services used by the client, and examined over €100,000,000 in total transaction volume.
OUTCOME
We produced multiple source of funds documents, which were accepted by the client’s bank and later also by the tax authorities.
TAX AUTHORITY VERIFICATION CASE INVOLVING CLAIMED CRYPTO TRADING INCOME
CASE OVERVIEW
In early 2026, a European tax agency contacted us to verify a substantial volume of transactions reported by an individual who claimed the funds came from crypto trading over several years.
SITUATION
The tax authority needed an independent review of the submitted report to determine whether the individual’s claims were supported by actual on-chain evidence.
OUR WORK
We conducted a thorough crypto tracing investigation and compared the claims in the submitted report against the corresponding blockchain activity. We reviewed the transaction flows, supporting wallet data,
and relevant on-chain evidence.
OUTCOME
We prepared a forensic report with accompanying on-chain evidence, confirming certain claims and disputing others where the submitted information did not match the blockchain data.
