Sarah Whitfield, J.D.

Recovery & Legal Liaison

  • J.D. — former financial-crime prosecutor
  • CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner)
  • Bank recall, chargeback & asset-freeze coordination

Background

Sarah is the bridge between the forensics and the institutions that actually hold the money. She knows exactly what a bank compliance officer or an exchange legal desk needs to see before they freeze an account or process a recall.

She packages the on-chain evidence into the legal-ready format those desks act on, and coordinates with IC3, FBI task forces, and local agencies where a criminal case makes sense.
