Success Story: $42,500 in Bitcoin Recovered
How we helped Hector recover funds sent to a wrong wallet address
“I had lost all hope after accidentally sending 1.2 BTC to a wrong address. PrimeRecovery not only traced the funds but successfully negotiated with the recipient to return 100% of my cryptocurrency. Their expertise saved me from a devastating financial loss.”
Hector, a software developer from Austin, Texas, contacted us in a panic after making what he thought was an irreversible mistake. He had intended to transfer Bitcoin to his hardware wallet but accidentally pasted an incorrect address during the transaction.
Our team sprang into action, using advanced blockchain analysis tools to trace the destination of the funds. We discovered the BTC had been sent to an active exchange wallet rather than a private wallet – a crucial detail that increased our chances of recovery.
Within 72 hours of initiating our recovery protocol, we had:
- Identified the exchange holding the funds
- Established communication with their security team
- Provided irrefutable proof of the mistaken transaction
- Negotiated the full return of James’s Bitcoin

Success Story: $250,000 Bitcoin Recovery
How we helped James recover his life savings after a devastating crypto scam
From Despair to Recovery
A real client’s journey to reclaiming their lost cryptocurrency
The Incident
James, a 42-year-old investor from Chicago, fell victim to an elaborate cryptocurrency scam in early 2023. After responding to what appeared to be a legitimate investment opportunity, he transferred 5.2 BTC (worth approximately $250,000 at the time) to a wallet address provided by the scammers.
The Discovery
“I realized I’d been scammed when the website disappeared and all communication stopped,” James recalls. “I felt physically sick – that was my entire retirement savings gone in an instant.” After reporting to authorities with little hope of recovery, James found PrimeRecovery.top through a cryptocurrency forum.
“I had completely lost hope. The police told me there was almost no chance of recovering stolen cryptocurrency. When I contacted PrimeRecovery, they were the first people who gave me real hope.”
The Recovery Process
Our team of blockchain forensic experts immediately began tracing the transaction path. Using proprietary tracking methods and established relationships with major exchanges, we identified that the funds had been moved through multiple wallets but were still intact.
Within 72 hours, we had located the majority of the funds on a regulated exchange. Through legal channels and our direct contacts, we were able to freeze the assets while proving James’s ownership.
The Result
After 18 days of intensive work, we successfully recovered 4.9 BTC (approximately $235,000 at the time of recovery). The remaining 0.3 BTC had been moved to untraceable wallets before we could intervene.
