Active monitoring may be necessary to watch addresses of interest over time. Additionally, intelligence gathering is helpful when associating cryptocurrency addresses with service providers.

The public and especially the elderly are
vulnerable to these despicable scam artists, and
we must take all necessary measures to
safeguard them. I am really happy for you! Keep

Peace Prize.

the one output with smaller amount is the change address, which is basically used to return the change to the sender.

[evachong]

[itsallaboutcars]

I tried ETH, but I didn't get any results. Is that normal? Thank you

Are you ever able to track down the actual owners of wallet addresses?
The reason I ask is because I'm aware of some scams that have stolen millions of USDT through their scammy website platforms.
I would love to be able to help people recover their funds. And if that's not possible, to at least catch the scammers and seize the stolen funds.
This might be a long shot, but worth asking the question.

[Manuel-wntw]

I can't imagine how hard it would be to decide to
take on a moneygetback role of scammed
persons. The history need to be remembered
though and the help that was born through such
pain and suffering. Mad respect to these.
*Adriannotch* that take on these roles

[leonsmith]

I would love to track down the
scammers who stole all my hard earned money, but im so busy paying
off my depts I wouldnt find the time to learn how.

[mouhamadouseck]
