No. NAXO is committed to objective, truth-seeking analysis. For any expert testimony matter, our experts conduct thorough reviews of the evidence to form their own independent opinions.

It's never too early and rarely too late to bring in NAXO experts—we're equipped to jump in and provide critical support or incident response in the most urgent situations. If you're facing an immediate crisis or are already deep into a complex matter, our team is agile and ready to provide the expert assistance you need. However, when it’s possible, engaging us early often yields the most strategic advantages. Involving NAXO from the outset, whether it's pre-complaint in litigation or during the initial stages of an investigation, allows us to help shape strategy, guide evidence gathering, and proactively identify risks or opportunities.

NAXO offers a comprehensive suite of in-house services covering complex digital investigations, including blockchain and cryptocurrency forensics, digital forensics, cybersecurity incident analysis, dark web intelligence, and expert testimony. For needs that fall outside our core technical focus, such as forensic accounting or economic analysis—two areas commonly requested alongside our work—we collaborate with a network of highly vetted and trusted partner firms. This approach ensures you receive best-in-class expertise for every facet of your case, managed seamlessly by our team.

We are acutely aware of the devastating impact of online financial scams like "pig butchering." At NAXO, our commitment to ethical conduct is paramount. When individual victims without legal representation approach us, our primary goal is to provide honest guidance and set realistic expectations, typically on a pro bono basis. We believe in empowering victims with sound advice, not in monetizing their distress with services unlikely to result in substantial recovery. If a victim has secured legal counsel and there's a viable pathway to pursue recovery or action against culpable third parties (like non-compliant exchanges), we are equipped to provide our expert investigative and litigation support services in those formal engagements.
