Local expertise
Crypto in California
California holds more cryptocurrency, and loses more of it, than any other state. It is home to major exchanges, Web3 startups and one of the world's largest populations of early adopters - which means it produces every kind of case we handle. Wallets bought in 2013 with long-forgotten passwords. Seed phrases split between safe-deposit boxes in different cities. Estates where the family knows a hardware wallet exists but nobody knows the PIN. And investment fraud engineered specifically to target the state's concentration of tech wealth.
The fraud patterns we see most from California clients are long-con investment scams (so-called pig butchering) that begin on dating apps, LinkedIn or WhatsApp and target working professionals; fake "exchange support" callers who talk victims into screen-sharing sessions; and recovery scams that re-target people who have already lost funds once. If any of these have touched you, speed matters - exchanges and issuers act far faster on well-documented, recent reports.
We work remote-first across all of California, with in-person consultations available in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas by arrangement. For attorneys, we produce court-ready tracing reports and independent expert testimony for California state and federal proceedings.
Crypto regulation and enforcement in California
California regulates digital-asset businesses through the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI). Under the state's Digital Financial Assets Law, crypto businesses serving Californians are moving into a formal licensing regime - one of the most significant state-level crypto frameworks outside New York.
The DFPI also runs a public Crypto Scam Tracker built from consumer complaints, which is worth checking if an unfamiliar platform has approached you. When we investigate a fraud for a California client, our reporting is written so it can support a DFPI complaint, an FBI IC3 filing and a local police report at the same time.
Disputes and prosecutions involving crypto are heard in California's Superior Courts and in the state's federal district courts. Our forensic reports and chain-of-custody documentation are prepared to the standards those venues expect.
