- Client signs off before any fee release
- Full transaction history exported as PDF
- No clawback risk — fee is paid from proceeds only

Avoid recovery scams
Legitimate recovery firms never ask for your seed phrase, never demand large upfront crypto payments, and never guarantee recovery. If someone DMs you offering to "get your funds back" — that's the scam. If you've already paid a fake recovery service, we help victims of those scams too, without judgment.
