The Problem

The Crypto Blind Spot

Crypto crime is exploding. Malaysia has 4.74 million crypto users and RM 13.9 billion traded on licensed exchanges in 2024 — yet most banks, law firms, businesses, and even enforcement agencies have no way to trace a single suspicious transaction.

Stolen crypto vanishes

Victims lose millions. Without forensic tracing, the money is gone forever.

Tax evasion goes undetected

Crypto gains hidden from LHDN. No tools means no enforcement.

Compliance gaps invite penalties

Exchanges and banks face regulatory action without proper AML monitoring.

VR1 closes the blind spot.

What's Your Situation?

Find Your Crypto Problem

Whatever crypto problem you're facing, VR1 has the certified expertise and tools to solve it.

▸"I've been scammed or hacked — I need to recover my crypto"
We trace stolen and scammed cryptocurrency across exchanges, wallets, mixers, and blockchains to identify where the funds went and who received them. We produce the evidence your lawyer or the police need to pursue recovery.
▸"I need to trace a crypto transaction or wallet"
We follow the money across 10,000+ digital assets and 200+ bridges — cross-chain, cross-exchange, no matter how many hops. Full fund-flow analysis and wallet attribution.
▸"LHDN is auditing my crypto / I need to file crypto tax"
We reconstruct your complete trading history across all wallets and exchanges, compute your gains and losses, and produce a court-ready tax report for LHDN compliance or audit defence.
▸"I run an exchange/business and need AML compliance"
We provide real-time transaction monitoring that screens every transaction against sanctions lists and risk typologies, pre-configured for SC and BNM requirements — detecting suspicious wallets before they're blacklisted.
▸"I need to check if a wallet or exchange is risky before dealing with it"
We screen any wallet, exchange, or counterparty for sanctions, darknet links, fraud, and risk exposure — so you know who you're dealing with before money moves.
▸"I'm a lawyer and need blockchain evidence for court"
We produce court-ready forensic reports and provide expert witness testimony (in person or by video link) for crypto fraud, asset tracing, criminal defence, and family law matters.
▸"My company is investing in or acquiring a crypto business"
We perform blockchain due diligence — assessing crypto holdings, transaction history, and compliance risk before you commit.
