Meet Mr. Donald Ellsworth

Don Ellsworth is a seasoned forensic accountant and cryptocurrency investigations expert with a passion for uncovering truth in complex financial crimes. Holding a Bachelor’s in Business from Northern Arizona University and an MBA from Utah State University, I bring a robust academic foundation to my work. Since becoming a Special Agent in 2002, I’ve tackled high-stakes domestic and international cases, specializing in fraud, money laundering, and cybercrime. My career spans pivotal moments in financial investigations, including leading cases during the 2008 mortgage fraud crisis and pioneering some of the nation’s first cryptocurrency-related investigations starting in 2013. As a member of a national task force focused on transnational cybercrime, I’ve honed expertise in tracing and analyzing cryptocurrency transactions, particularly in darknet and money laundering cases. Recognized as a subject matter expert, I’ve testified multiple times in court and delivered training to law enforcement and government officials worldwide on investigating cyber-related crimes and digital assets. My mission is to provide clarity and resolution for clients facing financial disputes or regulatory challenges. Whether you’re a law firm needing expert testimony, a business combating fraud, or an organization navigating cryptocurrency compliance, I offer precise, evidence-based solutions. My work has earned multiple awards for excellence, reflecting my commitment to delivering results. Let’s connect to address your forensic accounting or cryptocurrency investigation needs.
