LegalByte Sets New Industry Standards in 2025 with Major Crypto Recoveries, Cybercrime Breakthroughs, and Prestigious Recognition
Albuquerque, New Mexico - March 29, 2025 - LegalByte, a premier investigative and legal consultancy specializing in cybercrime and cryptocurrency forensics, has entered 2025 with a series of landmark achievements. From successfully recovering USD 1.3 million in misappropriated cryptocurrency to securing a coveted shortlist position for the 2025 Legal Elite Awards and playing a key role in high-profile cyber investigations, LegalByte continues to shape the evolving landscape of digital asset security and cyber justice.
Major Crypto Asset Recovery Milestone
The rapid rise of cryptocurrency-related fraud has left countless victims struggling to recover stolen digital assets. LegalByte’s latest success story involves the recovery of USD 1.3 million lost in a complex ‘Pig Butchering’ scam—a deceptive scheme in which fraudsters lure victims with false investment opportunities before disappearing with their funds. The firm’s blockchain forensics team traced the illicit transactions through an intricate network of international wallets, working closely with law enforcement in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States to freeze and retrieve the stolen assets.
“Cryptocurrency fraud is evolving at an alarming pace, but so is our ability to combat it,” said Andrew Tran, CEO of LegalByte. “By leveraging cutting-edge forensic tools and fostering global legal partnerships, we are giving victims a fighting chance to reclaim their financial security.”
LegalByte Recognized for Excellence in Cybercrime Investigation

This recognition highlights LegalByte’s leadership in tackling cybercrime through AI-powered forensic tools, strategic legal frameworks, and real-time cryptocurrency tracking methodologies.
“Our mission is to bridge the gap between emerging technologies and legal enforcement,” Tran added. “This award nomination reinforces our commitment to setting industry benchmarks for cybersecurity and digital fraud resolution.”
Pioneering Advances in Blockchain Forensics & Cryptocurrency Tracking
