Crypto Crime Defence Specialists

Crypto investigations can move quickly. A wallet address, exchange record or blockchain transaction may be interpreted in a way that does not reflect the full picture. These cases often involve digital assets, wallet movements, exchange accounts, IP data, financial records and questions about knowledge or suspicion. 

With a team of skilled crypto crime specialists, Ashmans Solicitors are here to assist, whether:

  • You’re under investigation or facing charges involving cryptocurrency transactions. 
  • You want to protect your rights and ensure the investigation is handled fairly. 
  • You need clear legal advice on wallets, transactions, tracing evidence and next steps. 

With Ashmans, you do not have to deal with the process alone. We help you understand the allegation, preserve important records and respond carefully.

Crypto Crime and the Law

Under England and Wales law, crypto crime cases often fall under the Fraud Act 2006, Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), and Money Laundering Regulations 2017. Offences typically concern fraud, deception, or misuse of digital assets.

  • Use of cryptocurrency to disguise or transfer proceeds of crime.
  • Running or promoting fraudulent crypto investment schemes.
  • Unlawful operation of unregistered crypto exchanges or mixers.

  • cted dishonestly or deceptively to gain or cause loss.
  • Knew or suspected that the assets involved were criminal property.
  • Participated knowingly in transactions linked to illegal funds.

Investigations may involve the police, CPS, FCA, NCA, financial investigators and digital forensics. Evidence can include blockchain transaction histories, wallet movements, exchange records, IP data, communications, device evidence and banking records. 

Our Crypto Crime Solicitors review the evidence carefully, including wallet control, transaction flow, knowledge, suspicion, intent, blockchain analysis, exchange data and how the investigation has been handled.

Fraud and Financial Crime

Frequently Asked Questions

Crypto crime generally involves the use of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or other digital assets to commit financial offences. This may include fraud, investment scams, hacking, ransomware, or using cryptocurrency to conceal or transfer criminal proceeds under legislation such as the Fraud Act 2006 and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.

Crypto-related offences can result in serious penalties, including substantial financial penalties, confiscation of digital assets and significant custodial sentences. The severity of the sentence depends on the nature of the offence, the value involved and the individual’s role in the alleged activity.

Our experienced team provides comprehensive legal support for individuals facing cryptocurrency-related investigations. From advising during police interviews to analysing blockchain evidence and building a robust defence strategy, we work tirelessly to protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome.

If you are involved in a crypto crime investigation, it is vital to seek legal advice immediately. Avoid discussing the matter with anyone other than your solicitor and do not provide information to investigators without your legal representative present.
