Find what was hidden. Prove what moved. Win the case.
Family law, civil litigation, and estate proceedings turn on one question: is the disclosed financial picture accurate? In most cases, it is not. JIL reconstructs the actual financial picture and produces court-admissible evidence of what was hidden and when.
Here's what we can find for you.
If you suspect your spouse, business partner, or counterparty hid money before or during your case, this is what JIL can uncover. No technical knowledge required on your part - your attorney engages us, we deliver the evidence.
Crypto wallets that aren't on the disclosure
We find Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoin (USDC/USDT), and other digital-asset holdings connected to your spouse - even when those wallets are in someone else's name, held at an exchange under a different account, or moved through a series of transfers to obscure the trail. If they bought crypto with marital money and didn't tell you, we'll find it.
Money moved out of joint accounts before you filed
We trace every transfer out of accounts in the months before separation, divorce filing, or pre-judgment - to other accounts, to friends and family, to business partners, to LLCs you didn't know existed. Each transfer gets a date, an amount, and a destination. Your attorney can use this to argue dissipation of marital assets or fraudulent conveyance.
Hidden LLCs, holding companies, and shell entities
We trace corporate ownership across state registries, federal filings, and beneficial-owner records. If your spouse owns or controls companies they didn't disclose - even when those companies are nominally owned by a sibling, a parent, an attorney, or a "business associate" - we surface the actual control structure with evidence you can take to court.
Property transferred to friends, family, or business partners
Real estate, vehicles, business interests, valuables, even crypto - transferred at suspicious timing, often for "$1 plus other consideration" or below-market price. We catch the timing relative to your filing date and the relationship between the transferor and recipient. Pattern recognition flags transfers that look routine in isolation but obvious in aggregate.
Income they don't report
DeFi yield (lending protocols, liquidity pools, staking rewards), NFT sales, off-the-books consulting paid in crypto, ownership distributions from undisclosed entities, rental income from properties held in third-party names. We compare what they declared on the financial affidavit against what their actual on-chain and entity activity shows.
Foreign accounts and offshore entities
Cross-border crypto transfers (especially via wrapped tokens or bridge protocols), offshore LLCs and trusts, foreign bank accounts identified through wire patterns, and crypto held at non-US exchanges. We work in 13+ jurisdictions, so we see across borders that traditional forensic accountants don't.
A sealed evidence package your attorney can file.
Not a report. Not a PDF that opposing counsel can argue with. A cryptographically sealed evidence bundle - we call it a CREB™ (Court-Ready Evidence Bundle) - that any court, opposing counsel, judge, or auditor can independently verify hasn't been altered. Every finding has a date, a source, and a tamper-proof seal. The methodology is reproducible: any third party can re-run our checks and arrive at the same result.
Each finding includes
- The date the finding was made
- The source the finding was derived from (which on-chain transaction, which corporate registry record, which payment file)
- A cryptographic signature proving the finding hasn't been altered since
- A summary in plain English your attorney can quote in pleadings
Court admissibility
The CREB™ is designed to satisfy Federal Rule of Evidence 902(14) for self-authenticating electronic records - meaning it's admissible without requiring a human expert to take the stand and explain the methodology. State courts increasingly accept the same standard. The methodology can't be cross-examined into doubt because there is no human methodology to cross-examine.
Independently verifiable
Opposing counsel can take the bundle and verify it themselves. The judge can. An appellate court can. Five years from now, a different court can re-verify the original findings. The seal is permanent and tied to the data; it's not a vendor lock-in.
You don't need to know anything technical.
1 · Your attorney calls us
You don't engage JIL directly - your attorney does, on your behalf, under their work-product protection. We never communicate with you without your attorney's involvement. Confidentiality is preserved through standard counsel-client privilege.
2 · We work from what's already discoverable
We do not need access to your spouse's accounts. We work from public on-chain data (Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 11 other public blockchains), public corporate registries (state SOS records, federal EDGAR filings, beneficial-owner reports), and any payment records your attorney can lawfully obtain (subpoenaed bank statements, business records, financial affidavits). Nothing we do requires a warrant.
3 · You get the findings in days, not months
On-chain investigations: 3 to 10 business days. Payment-history investigations: minutes to hours per million records. A combined investigation (on-chain + payment history + entity network) typically delivers within 2 weeks of engagement. Traditional forensic accounting on the same scope: 3 to 6 months.
Typically a fraction of what we uncover.
JIL Investigation Engine pricing is structured so the engagement cost is small relative to the asset recovery or settlement improvement it produces.
For a typical family-law engagement
- On-chain investigation (crypto wallets, DeFi positions, entity tracing): flat-fee engagement, low five figures for a single-subject investigation, scaling with complexity
- Payment-history investigation (when your attorney provides bank statements, financial affidavits, business records): priced per record, typically a few thousand dollars even for several years of records
- Combined investigation + sealed CREB™: typically delivered for less than the cost of a single deposition
Most family-law engagements where assets were genuinely hidden recover or improve settlement value by 10x or more the cost of the investigation. We do not work on contingency for this product line - flat fee or per-record pricing only.

Hidden assets do not disappear. They move. JIL traces where financial assets actually went - across wallets, entities, DeFi positions, and corporate structures - and seals the findings with cryptographic proof that survives court scrutiny.
By the time normal discovery finishes, the money has moved.
Traditional asset discovery in a divorce, civil case, or fraud claim relies on voluntary disclosure (the other side hands over what they choose to hand over) and document subpoenas (which take months and can be slow-walked). By the time it's done, accounts have been drained, LLCs have been dissolved, and crypto has been moved to wallets that aren't connected to anyone's name. A traditional forensic accountant can spot patterns - but on the witness stand, their methodology can be argued with. JIL produces sealed cryptographic proof that the methodology can't be argued with. Different tool for a different problem.
Five questions that determine case outcomes.
JIL runs a targeted investigation across on-chain financial activity, corporate entity networks, and payment history to answer:
Are there undisclosed cryptocurrency or digital asset holdings connected to this subject?
Were assets transferred out of accounts, wallets, or entities in the period leading up to or during proceedings?
Does the disclosed corporate structure accurately represent who controls and benefits from these entities?
Were payments made to connected parties, shell entities, or accounts that should have been disclosed?
Does the subject's declared income and asset base match their actual financial activity over the lookback period?
Every finding is date-anchored, cryptographically sealed, and independently reproducible. Any auditor, opposing counsel, or court can verify the finding has not been altered.
Eight checks. Scoped to asset concealment and disclosure integrity.
Undisclosed on-chain holdings traced across wallets, exchanges, DeFi positions, LP stakes, vesting contracts, and multisig controllers.
Transfers, withdrawals, and wallet-to-wallet movements in the lookback window flagged with timing relative to known proceeding milestones.
Corporate structure traced through registry data across jurisdictions; circular ownership and shell entity detection.
Payments between subject and related entities, family members, or professional associates evaluated for disclosure consistency.
Asset received and immediately moved to obscure the trail; timing and routing flagged.
Positions in lending protocols, liquidity pools, and yield vaults not visible on standard exchange lookups.
Declared income and assets evaluated against actual on-chain and payment activity for the same period.
Was this entity active, dissolved, or restructured on the dates relevant to the proceeding?
Settlement value. Case selection. Enforcement leverage.
- Hidden asset findings directly increase settlement or award value - discovery of a $2M undisclosed cryptocurrency position changes the outcome of a proceeding entirely.
- Investigation cost (starting at 5 bps per record on payment history, plus a flat engagement fee for on-chain analysis) is typically a fraction of the asset recovery or settlement improvement it produces.
- Cryptographic proof eliminates opposing counsel's ability to challenge the methodology - findings are independently reproducible and tamper-evident.
- Investigation turnaround: days, not months - faster than traditional forensic accounting and without the deposition risk of a human expert who can be cross-examined on methodology.
- Pre-case asset investigation de-risks case selection - know whether recoverable assets exist before committing resources to litigation.
- Post-judgment enforcement evidence - trace where assets moved after judgment was entered to support enforcement proceedings.
- Class action and mass tort asset tracing - run the same investigation against hundreds of defendants at scale; same cryptographic standard on every finding.
- Fraudulent conveyance claims supported by date-anchored evidence of asset transfers relative to known insolvency or dispute timelines.
- Alter ego and piercing the corporate veil supported by UBO graph evidence showing actual control versus disclosed structure.
- Trade secret and IP theft cases supported by payment tracing between the defendant and competitors or acquiring entities.
- Traditional forensic accountant: human expert, months of work, methodology is cross-examinable, findings are not independently verifiable by opposing party.
- JIL Investigation Engine: cryptographic proof, days not months, methodology is deterministic and reproducible, findings cannot be altered after sealing, any party can verify independently.
