Case 1: Alex's Christmas Nightmare Turned Recovery

On December 24th, Alex (a private investor) experienced every crypto holder's worst fear: more than $2 million USDT was stolen directly from her MetaMask wallet. What should have been a joyful Christmas turned into panic and loss.

She reached out to StarCompliance immediately. Our investigators traced the stolen funds across multiple blockchains. Within a day, we identified a large portion of the stolen assets moving through Taiwan-based institutions.

On January 2nd, just nine days after the theft, we successfully blocked and froze 86% of Alex's stolen USDT. Legal and compliance procedures were initiated to ensure the funds could be returned.

"I thought my funds were gone forever. StarCompliance acted faster than I imagined possible — they gave me hope, and most importantly, they gave me back my security."

Case 2: Corporate Protection in

Action

In July 2025, a major international crypto company suffered a security breach. 1.8 million USDT was stolen from its operational wallets in a sophisticated attack.

The company turned to StarCompliance for immediate assistance. Our forensic analysts began tracing transactions within hours of the breach. Thanks to pre-established collaboration channels with exchanges and compliance partners, we moved swiftly.

As a result, despite the movement through a few CEX 1.6 million USDT (over 90% of the stolen amount) was successfully blocked and frozen before it could be laundered further.

"The professionalism of StarCompliance saved our company from what could have been a devastating financial and reputational loss. Their rapid response and legal expertise made all the difference.

Case 3: Valerij's Recovery Success

In late 2025, Valerij, a private client, suffered a significant crypto loss. Faced with uncertainty and fear, he reached out to StarCompliance for assistance in recovering his stolen funds.

Our investigative team traced the fraudulent transactions on the blockchain and prepared the necessary legal and compliance documents to freeze the assets.

Thanks to swift coordination with exchanges and financial institutions, we successfully blocked the stolen funds before they could be laundered further.

"Thank you so much once again — it was a real pleasure working with you. I hope I won't need to reach out again for such issues in the future, but you are truly incredible professionals."

Case 4: Unauthorized Wallet Breach

On July 20, 2025, attackers gained unauthorized access to a non-custodial crypto wallet and illegally seized digital assets.

Within 10 days, our compliance and tracing specialists coordinated with exchanges and law enforcement to identify and freeze the stolen funds.

By July 30, 2025, StarCompliance successfully blocked over $1.39 million USDT, protecting a significant portion of the stolen assets from laundering.

In the aftermath of the breach, the client shared the following appreciation:

"I was devastated when I realized that over two million USDT had been stolen from my wallet. The StarCompliance team immediately took over the case and acted with incredible speed and precision. Thanks to their efforts, more than 1.39 million USDT were blocked before the thieves could hide them. I am deeply grateful for their professionalism and persistence."

Case 5: Ledger Cold Wallet Seed Phrase Compromise

A victim suffered a seed phrase compromise, which allowed fraudsters to transfer approximately $200,000 USDT out of his Ledger cold wallet.

Using our tracing technology, StarCompliance identified linked addresses across chains and managed to freeze $18,000 USDT on Solana

With relief after the first funds were secured, the client commented:

"Losing funds from a cold wallet felt like an impossible situation — I thought there was no way to recover anything. But StarCompliance proved me wrong. They tracked the stolen money across blockchains and already managed to freeze part of it. Their constant updates and transparent process gave me confidence that I wasn't left alone. Thank you for standing by me in this fight."

Case 6: Address Manipulation & Human Error Scam

The victim first tested a 5 USDT transfer from his cold wallet.

Scammers immediately spammed his wallet with look-alike addresses where the middle characters were altered.

When sending $40,000 USDT intended for Kraken, he mistakenly copied one of these addresses:

After the swift blocking of 100% of the stolen USDT, the client shared:

"I still cannot believe how quickly scammers tricked me with fake look-alike wallet addresses. I made a mistake that cost me $40,000 USDT, and I was certain it was gone forever. But StarCompliance worked immediately and froze 100% of my funds. Without them, I would have lost everything. I'm endlessly thankful for their dedication and efficiency."

Case 7: Social Media Influencer Scam

Perpetrators posing as a popular crypto influencer solicited victims to send funds for market-making and trading services. Once transfers were made, the scammer blocked all communication, never returning the funds.

Our tracing team followed the stolen USDT through Binance to Coinbase and successfully froze the full $500,000 USDT, ensuring complete recovery.

Once the full amount of 500,000 USDT was successfully frozen, the victim wrote:

"I trusted what I thought was a well-known crypto influencer and lost half a million USDT to a scam. The fraudsters disappeared instantly, and I was left with nothing but shock. StarCompliance traced the funds all the way from Binance to Coinbase and froze the full amount. Their work restored not just my funds, but my faith that justice is possible in the crypto world."
