A / The firm

AURELINE unites financial forensics, blockchain intelligence and cyber response.

Principle

Evidence over promises.

We clearly separate established facts, analytical conclusions and working hypotheses. A next action is proposed only when evidence supports it.

00Focus

We take on

  • Private clients

    Broker and investment fraud, stolen crypto and bank disputes — where a payment or on-chain trail still exists.

  • Organisations

    Incident response, internal investigations, payment-gateway defence and evidence packs for banks and counsel.

  • Counsel and boards

    Quiet forensics, chain of custody and reproducible findings that survive challenge by another party.

We do not

  • Guaranteed recovery

    We do not accept a mandate whose only expectation is ‘we will get it all back’. Prospect is assessed on facts.

  • Seed phrases and passwords

    We do not ‘unlock wallets’ and do not accept secret keys. That is a risk to the client and the matter.

  • Retail crypto hype

    We do not sell trading signals, promise yield or support speculative products.

01History
  1. 2017

    The gap between trace and action

    AURELINE formed as an independent group after a cross-border payment investigation exposed the cost of analysts, banks and counsel working in isolation.

  2. 2019

    One evidence graph

    The team combined transactions, digital artefacts and corporate relationships in one reproducible investigation model.

  3. 2022

    Cyber response

    A dedicated response practice added evidence preservation, containment and the restoration of operational control.

  4. 2024

    Cross-chain laboratory

    AURELINE TRACE extended the graph across bridges, DEXs, off-ramps and off-chain entities.

  5. 2026

    Integrated recovery desk

    Forensics, incident response and legal-action coordination now operate inside one protected case perimeter.
