Which countries do you serve?

We review files from more than forty markets, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, the Nordics, the Benelux, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, the Baltics, Central and Eastern Europe, the Gulf, Egypt, Turkey, Southeast and East Asia. We cannot accept matters for citizens or permanent residents of the United States, Germany, Italy or France, because local licence rules prevent it. A Swiss court is asked when that order can reach the coins. Where it cannot, a local lawyer files.

Does FINMA get my coins back?

No. FINMA supervises institutions and publishes warning lists. It does not retrieve retail Tether for private clients. File a local police or cyber report as well. In Switzerland that includes the NCSC incident form and, where appropriate, a cantonal criminal complaint.

They took the coins. Then they came back for the rest.

The first crime emptied the wallet. The second is a caller who already knows what you lost and wants an unlock fee, a seed phrase, or AnyDesk. Shame is part of the script. A named Swiss lawyer does not need your keys.

The second crime is the one that still has your number

You believed a dashboard, a job, a lover, a club that paid early. Then the withdrawal button asked for tax. Then a recovery desk called. FINMA has warned for years that lists of prior victims are sold on. ASIC, UK reporting desks and Interpol describe the same factory: conversion, retention, then a recovery room that charges for a free petition.

Hang up. A real file starts with hashes you already have, not with software on your phone. Independent reading: FINMA on second-loss recovery fraud; AXT News on fake recovery agents; Times of Switzerland on unlock fees.

Telephone beside a crumpled invoice, the second scam — Unsolicited recovery is usually the same organisation in a new mask.

What a real file looks like

Keep bank statements, chat exports, the URL you were sent, transaction hashes, and any police, Report Fraud, CAFC, Scamwatch or NCSC number. Coins that still sit at a KYC exchange can, in some cases, be frozen. That takes a claim, urgency, and a wallet map a court can read. A helpdesk ticket has none of those.

Times of Switzerland put it in one line: a ticket creates a case number. An injunction creates a freeze. A freeze is a lock, not a payment. FINMA does not retrieve retail Tether for private clients.

Counsel who can put that paper in front of a court

Sascha Christener is a Swiss attorney admitted in the Canton of Bern in February 2018. He holds a Bachelor and a Master of Law from the University of Bern and is a member of the Bernese and Swiss Bar Associations. Crypto Justice Legal is the intake name of his sole practice. Counsel works in English. Market pages in other languages are there so you can read the mechanism in the language you think in. The reply is in English.

A Swiss court is asked when that order can reach the coins. Where it cannot, a local lawyer files. Citizens and permanent residents of the United States, Germany, Italy and France are not accepted, because local licence rules prevent it.

The fields of the practice are the toolkit, not a slogan: criminal law for the complaint; civil law for interim relief; debt-collection and bankruptcy law when an endpoint can be named; contract law for the fake platform’s terms; administrative law when a regulator listing matters.

Readers searching for international fund recovery lawyers will find the scope, and the limits, on the fund recovery page. Cryptocurrency fraud, internet fraud, investment fraud, and cross-border files are set out under services.

Verify him yourself on the Bern Anwaltsregister and the Swiss Bar Association. Do not take a Telegram screenshot as a licence.

Trace. Freeze. Then a bank, not a wallet.

That sequence is slow on purpose. Anyone selling speed on WhatsApp is not tracing.

Trace

Cluster hops from the hashes you kept. Name the off-ramp if one still holds a balance.

Freeze

Interim relief asks a court to tell a custodial venue to hold coins it already has.

Repatriate

If funds move, they move to a bank account you control. The success fee agreed for that case is invoiced only then.

Questions people actually ask

Who is Crypto Justice Legal?

Crypto Justice Legal is the English-language intake name of Sascha Christener, MLaw, Rechtsanwalt, a sole practitioner. He was admitted to the bar in the Canton of Bern in February 2018 and is listed in the Bernese attorney register. This site collects crypto-fraud enquiries. It is not a newsroom and not a Telegram recovery room.

Are you international fund recovery lawyers?

People search that phrase. This desk is one named Swiss attorney, Sascha Christener, admitted in the Canton of Bern in February 2018. He reviews fraud files for clients outside Switzerland. A Swiss court is asked when that order can reach the assets. Where it cannot, a local lawyer files. Recovery is not guaranteed, and nothing is due up front.

How do I verify that Sascha Christener is a real Swiss lawyer?

Search the public Anwaltsregister of the Canton of Bern and the Swiss Bar Association listings. A legitimate Swiss attorney is a named natural person on a cantonal register. Postal address: Kramgasse 65, 3011 Bern, Switzerland. Official mail uses @cryptojusticelegal.ch only.

Can stolen cryptocurrency be recovered?

Sometimes. When Bitcoin, ether or USDT still sits at a custodial exchange, a Swiss civil injunction plus a forensic wallet link can freeze those coins. A support ticket almost never does. Recovery is conditional. A freeze is a lock, not a payment. Independent reporting: Times of Switzerland, 30 August 2026.

Do you ask for seed phrases, private keys, or AnyDesk?

No. Never. Anyone who asks for a seed phrase, a private key, wallet sync, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, a gift card, or a crypto unlock, tax, or gas fee is not us. Hang up.

What do you charge?

Case evaluation is free and nothing is due up front. If a matter is accepted, the success fee is agreed in writing for that case and invoiced only after recovered funds reach a bank account the client controls. If there is no recovery, there is no fee, and counsel bears the court, tracing, and foreign-lawyer costs of that matter. We never invoice in cryptocurrency and we never hold the coins.
