About Evan

Evan Cole grew up in south Mississippi and attended Tulane University in New Orleans, where he worked during college as a law clerk and later as a paralegal for several years. After relocating to Jackson, Mississippi, he transitioned into a risk and compliance role with Cadence Bank, overseeing branch-level operational controls, due-diligence reviews, and fraud-prevention processes. His work exposed him to the increasing intersection between financial crime and emerging digital-asset threats.

Evan's interest in cyber-enabled financial crime led him to pursue advanced training in blockchain analysis. In 2024, he founded Digital Investigations, LLC, conducting part-time cryptocurrency tracing and OSINT work as a certified blockchain analyst. He has investigated nearly 100 pig-butchering cases, conducted blockchain tracing leading to the freezing of more than $4 million in stolen cryptocurrency, and regularly collaborates with agents from the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, IRS-CI, and local law-enforcement agencies.

Evan joined the CyberJustice Law Group full-time in 2025 as Head of Investigations.

Evan's mission is to help victims of cryptocurrency fraud obtain clarity, evidence, and a path forward by combining rigorous investigative methods with advanced blockchain analytics. He is dedicated to identifying online scammers, recovering stolen funds whenever possible, and supporting law-enforcement efforts to hold cybercriminals accountable.
