Luxembourg, Luxembourg, October 14th, 2025, Chainwire
As crypto scams keep rising worldwide, WinterMist has become a trusted name for helping victims get back their stolen or lost digital assets. Over the past year, according to the Wintermist team, the company handled several major cases involving fake investments, trading scams, romance fraud, and wallet hacks, successfully returning millions to their clients.
Investment Scam: $1.6 Million in Bitcoin Returned
In May 2025, investors lost $1.6 million after sending Bitcoin to a fake trading site promising guaranteed profits. When the site vanished, they turned to WinterMist. Using blockchain tracing, WinterMist tracked the stolen Bitcoin through multiple wallets and exchanges, working with law enforcement to freeze the funds. Within six weeks, most of the Bitcoin was returned.
Romance Scam: $780,000 in USDT Recovered
A Canadian professional lost over $780,000 in Tether (USDT) after being scammed by someone posing as a crypto trader. WinterMist traced the money across the blockchain and helped freeze the funds through two major exchanges. The client recovered about 92% of the stolen amount, a major success in such cases.
Solana Wallet Hack: $430,000 Restored
In August 2025, a Solana user lost $430,000 in SOL and USDC after clicking a fake wallet update link that gave hackers access to their private keys. WinterMist tracked the stolen tokens across blockchains and exchanges, quickly freezing most of the funds. The client got back $417,000 within three weeks.
Ponzi Token Collapse: $2.3 Million Recovered
Earlier this year, investors lost $2.3 million in a fake DeFi token project when the developers vanished and drained liquidity pools. WinterMist traced the funds through several blockchains and exchanges, working with partners to recover a large portion of the assets.

These examples show how WinterMist helps victims of crypto scams and exchange failures. Many believe stolen crypto is gone forever, but WinterMist’s work proves recovery is often possible with the right tools and persistence. Their experts combine blockchain analysis, compliance coordination, and direct exchange communication to give victims a second chance.
