Realistic Odds of Recovering Funds
It's worth being honest upfront: most funds lost to a permission-hijacking scam are not recovered, because the scammer's control over the account is genuine and on-chain.
Why recovery is hard
Once an account's Owner permission has been reassigned, the scammer has the same level of on-chain authority you originally did. There's no built-in mechanism to reverse an AccountPermissionUpdate or claw back funds that were moved — the blockchain doesn't distinguish a legitimate transfer from a fraudulent one after the fact.
Where recovery has actually happened before
The realistic paths are indirect: funds sometimes get frozen if they land in a centralized exchange account that cooperates with a fraud report, or in rare cases, broader investigations connect a scam address to a real-world identity through other evidence.
What's actually worth doing
Stopping further loss, documenting everything, and reporting through the channels covered elsewhere on this site are the concrete, worthwhile actions — not because they guarantee recovery, but because they're the only things that meaningfully improve the odds without costing you anything further.
