About us

Passion. Experience. Virtue.

Based in the United States, Van Orton Recovery is a white-glove private intelligence firm dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of asset recovery. Understanding blockchain and cryptocurrency transactions can be challenging, but your story isn't over. We handle the complex parts so that you can focus on moving forward.

As technology evolves, so does fraud. Over the past four years, we've dedicated more than 14,000 hours to studying financial fraud cases, uncovering how cybercriminals operate and launder funds. This expertise allows us to restore victims' hope, dignity, and financial stability, driven by a commitment to integrity and compassion in every case.

An intelligence team, not just a tracing service

Our team comes from a well-established intelligence background in information gathering, analysis, and research, as well as cybersecurity, finance, and field operations. Our methodology goes beyond forensic accounting and open-source intelligence to recover concealed assets even when no paper trail exists.

Unlike public agencies bound by jurisdictional constraints, we move quickly and follow the money wherever it leads.

Disciplines we bring to every case

  • Blockchain tracing & forensics
  • Open-source intelligence (OSINT)
  • HUMINT
  • Digital threat intelligence
  • De-anonymizing cybercriminals
  • Offensive security
  • Malware analysis
  • Corporate & offshore finance intel
  • Locating individuals of interest
  • Social engineering

We operate where the fraudsters are

Trading and investment scams almost always originate outside the United States. Our team members have lived in many of the jurisdictions where fraudsters operate, and we speak eight languages fluently, so we're not limited by knowledge, language, connections, or geography on any case we take. We are the only asset recovery firm able to pursue cases in Russia, China, and Southeast Asia, with extensive local contacts.

We share our investigative findings with relevant U.S. agencies including the FBI and the Department of Justice. In August 2025, our intelligence was directly instrumental in a $5.6 million asset freeze.
