Strategic Legal Action for Digital Asset Recovery | Bobila Walker Law
Since the emergence of Bitcoin in 2009, cryptocurrency and financial technology (fintech) have drastically changed the financial landscape in Canada and across the globe. While the decentralized nature of digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum offers innovation and flexibility, it also creates new opportunities for fraud and abuse. The patchwork regulatory framework governing these technologies — both domestically and internationally — further complicates efforts to recover stolen funds.
At Bobila Walker Law, we are uniquely positioned at the intersection of crypto litigation, asset recovery, and fraud law. Based in downtown Toronto, we represent individuals, companies, and fiduciaries across Ontario in complex disputes involving cryptocurrency fraud, digital theft, and decentralized investment schemes. Our litigation team is known for taking swift, effective action to trace funds, freeze accounts, and recover what has been lost.
Can You Recover Funds Lost to Cryptocurrency Fraud?
One of the most common — and most urgent — questions we receive is:
Can I get my money back?
Unfortunately, not all crypto fraud losses are recoverable, particularly where funds have been routed through uncooperative jurisdictions or decentralized platforms with no legal presence in Canada. Fraudsters frequently funnel stolen crypto through foreign accounts in places like Malaysia, China, or Eastern Europe, or through privacy-focused platforms and mixers that obscure their tracks.
However, if you sent funds to a Canadian or U.S. bank account, or if you know the identity of the fraudster, your chances of recovery are significantly higher — especially if you act quickly. In these cases, we are often able to pursue effective legal remedies through Ontario courts, including tracing orders, disclosure orders, and injunctive relief.
Common Crypto Scams in Ontario
We regularly assist clients who have lost funds through evolving fraud schemes, including:
- Social media or WhatsApp/Telegram messages urging crypto “investment” via fake or mirrored platforms
- Romance scams involving emotionally manipulative relationships and fraudulent companies
- Fake trading platforms or wallets showing fake returns or fabricated dashboards
- Ponzi schemes and “high-yield” token offerings
- Impersonation scams where a victim is tricked into sending crypto to an account controlled by a fraudster
The decentralization and anonymity built into cryptocurrency make it essential to retain experienced counsel the moment you suspect wrongdoing.
Legal Tools to Fight Crypto Fraud in Canada
We combine deep fraud litigation experience with crypto-native understanding of wallets, blockchains, mixers, and decentralized exchanges. When acting quickly, we are able to pursue:
Money Tracing Orders
Tracing stolen funds through the blockchain and fiat banking systems to identify wallets, intermediaries, or accounts holding recoverable funds.
Mareva Injunctions (Freezing Orders)
Freeze the assets of the alleged fraudster — including crypto wallets and bank accounts — to prevent further dissipation of funds before trial.
Norwich Orders
Compel third parties such as banks, crypto exchanges, or domain hosts to provide key information that helps identify the fraudster or expose wallet transactions.
Anton Piller Orders
Seize evidence in the possession of the fraudster — such as private keys, hardware wallets, computers, or transaction logs — before it can be destroyed or concealed.
Timing Is Critical in Crypto Fraud Cases
Cryptocurrency is fast, borderless, and often irreversible. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to trace, freeze, or recover assets. At Bobila Walker Law, we offer urgent and aggressive legal strategies to mitigate losses, preserve evidence, and begin the recovery process.
We work with blockchain forensic experts, private investigators, and international counsel to act quickly — often obtaining freezing orders or disclosure orders within days of being retained.
