The short answer
A good initial file contains the information needed to understand the incident and identify transactions. It does not need your passwords, seed phrase, private keys or complete identity-document collection. Ask the recipient why each item is necessary and how it will be protected.
What to check and preserve
Keep unaltered originals securely and send a clearly labelled copy with unnecessary personal information redacted. Preserve the fields needed for the purpose: dates, provider references, amounts and relevant identities. Where a regulated provider or authority requires sensitive documents, use its verified secure submission process rather than an unsolicited email address.
Limits and important distinctions
Over-redaction can make an investigation harder, but oversharing creates new risk. Discuss the minimum needed for the stage of work. A recovery service should explain access, retention and recipients before collecting a case file. Be wary of requests for complete bank histories unrelated to the loss.
Checklist
- Ask what each document is needed for.
- Keep originals and label redacted copies.
- Use verified secure submission channels.
- Never include passwords or wallet secrets.
