$70,000 Vanished in a Fake NFT Project—How We Got It Back

📍 Introduction:
The rise of digital assets brings new risks. In this case, a young entrepreneur fell victim to a well-orchestrated NFT rug pull. Lexchain helped him recover stolen funds and hold the bad actors accountable.

📖 Case Story:
Tom R., a digital artist, was invited to contribute exclusive work to an “invite-only NFT marketplace.” After transferring $70,000 worth of Ethereum as a buy-in for curated placement, the developers disappeared.

Lexchain traced wallet activity and identified associated email domains. Our legal team filed a civil complaint and collaborated with blockchain forensic partners to unmask the project team behind the fraud.

We:

  • Sent blockchain-anchored legal notices to major NFT platforms

  • Coordinated with exchanges to freeze outgoing transactions

  • Secured a partial fund recovery through court-ordered crypto asset seizure

  • Submitted findings to federal cybercrime units

📌 Legal Insight:
Crypto and NFT fraud cases require both on-chain intelligence and off-chain legal action. Lexchain bridges the two to recover stolen digital assets.
