Methodology walkthrough. Client details are withheld and no recovery outcome is implied.

One operator, many faces

A single fraud operation frequently spins up dozens of near-identical platforms with different names. Recognizing the shared fingerprints helps warn future victims and strengthens attribution.

How we connect them

  • On-chain overlap. Different platforms that funnel deposits to the same consolidation wallets are almost certainly linked.
  • Infrastructure reuse. Shared templates, hosting, and contact patterns recur across clones.
  • Behavioral signature. The same withdrawal-block and release-fee script appears again and again.

Why it matters

Mapping a network turns isolated complaints into a coherent picture — useful for victims, exchanges, and investigators alike. It also feeds our registry, so the next person can check before they deposit.
