“The cases I find most interesting right now are hacks/exploits, phishing, or social engineering scams as it brings a sense of fulfillment recovering funds or helping those victims take legal action,” stated ZachXBT through his Telegram group.

The investigator’s recent work has focused on substantial financial crimes, including the exposure of a sophisticated $500,000 cryptocurrency scam involving impersonation of X platform employees. His investigations have also highlighted significant security concerns at major exchanges, particularly Coinbase, where users reportedly lost $65 million to social engineering attacks between December 2024 and January 2025.

In a notable stance against the growing trend of meme token investigations, ZachXBT declined community requests to investigate the LIBRA token launch associated with Javier Milei and allegations of $100 million in insider trading. He emphasized that meme-related investigations offer limited value and detract from more serious cryptocurrency crimes.

The investigator has also taken a critical position against Burwick Law‘s memecoin investor lawsuits, distinguishing between what he considers legitimate victims of crypto crimes and speculative traders. This perspective highlights the ongoing debate within the cryptocurrency community about investor protection and responsibility.

Throughout his career, ZachXBT has established himself as a pivotal figure in cryptocurrency forensics, combining blockchain analysis with traditional investigative techniques to expose fraudulent schemes and recover stolen assets. His methodical approach has earned him comparisons to vigilante figures, though his recent actions suggest a more selective focus on cases with substantial impact on the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
