“Pulp Fiction”Each of his posts is a new story, a story that's astonishing and reveals the darkest corners of blockchain. Over the years, I think he has earned the trust of his community; he has helped many people get their money back and put scammers away, closed a few projects, btw recently there was a dispute with MEXC. Thanks for such work

“Saved many. Strong-minded.”ZachXBT has helped many people recover stolen funds through immediate and decisive action. He's regarded as a white hat in the blockchain space and shares his on-chain sleuthing insights clearly. Of course nobody is perfect, he's a savage and is sometimes selective in his battles. It should be noted that he mega-dumped his token on his community while he could have built around it and rewarded junior on-chain sleuths, though.

“Web3 Sleuth”Big appreciation for zachxbt and everything he does to protect the crypto space. His on-chain investigations, sharp journalism, and constant transparency have helped expose countless scams, thefts, and shady actors in the ecosystem. What makes his work even more unique is that it’s not just informative — it’s entertaining. Watching him piece together wallets, links, and digital breadcrumbs in real time is like witnessing a detective story unfold on-chain. Every thread feels like a mini thriller. Beyond the content, Zach actively assists victims in recovering stolen funds and filing reports. His work isn’t just for clout — it leads to real outcomes and real accountability. That kind of integrity is rare in Web3. Thanks for your relentless efforts, Zach. The crypto community is safer — and definitely more entertained — because of you. 🕵️‍♂️🛡️

“The legendary investigator of Web3”ZachXBT is what you might call a living legend of Web3. His story is just incredible! With 9 years of experience in onchain investigations, his profile is unique due to his history, background, and unwavering integrity. He worked behind the scenes for several years without receiving any awards or recognition. Today, he is a figure recognized by all. A look back at his career: - In 2017, he suffered a $15,000 loss in an ICO scam. He left Discord in a rage and opened Etherscan for the first time, thinking, "If no one else tracks down these thieves, I will." - From 2018 to 2020, he learned Solidity to decrypt fraudulent contracts. - In 2020, he dismantled the first big phishing network targeting the theft of BAYC NFTs. - Thanks to this, the victims were able to recover the stolen $2 million in just 48 hours. - From 2021 onwards, Zach became increasingly viral and even started receiving donations from ETH for his research. - In 2022, he published a 44-page report that caused a sensation, revealing the activities of Machi, nicknamed "Big Brother," who was accused of misappropriating over 22,000 ETH through abandoned projects. Machi filed a defamation lawsuit. The crypto community's reaction was immediate: over a million dollars were raised in 72 hours for his defense. The lawsuit was eventually withdrawn, and Zach continued to build his legend. - In 2023, he also solved a $243 million Bitcoin theft while waiting at the airport gate. Thanks to his cooperation, French police arrested the thieves two weeks later. The victim recovered all of his funds. The FBI then began contacting him via private message in order to obtain his help. - In 2024, he exposed a $28 million Bittensor hack involving anime NFT transactions. Following this incident, he received a seven-figure sum, half of which he donated. - In 2025, The total amount of fraud recovered or stopped by ZachXBT exceeds $250 million. - In November 2025, Zach is officially hired to put his talent to work for the BNB chain. - In 2026 (as recently as yesterday) Zach reveals that the TroveMarkets project team transferred $45,000 from the Trove Angel Round fundraising on January 11th to a casino account. They also allegedly paid influencers for undisclosed advertisements. In an ecosystem where trust is earned through tangible proof on the blockchain, Zach remains one of the few people who still commands respect. While influencers sell dreams and projects are just hot air, Zach sells facts and exposes scammers. Thank you for continuing this work that 99% of the community prefers to ignore. Respect!

“A good addition to the Blockchain space. He has helped recover stolen funds (ETH, BTC, USDT) from bad actors over time.”

“The OG On-Chain Sleuth Scammers Fear Most”ZachXBT is the real guardian angel crypto desperately needed. He reads the blockchain like an open book with precision - busting fraudsters, tracing dirty money, and keeping scumbags in check. And his investigations have resulted in actual arrests(!) and protected millions from getting rekt (!!). You might not love hearing the harsh truths he uncovers, but you can bank on the accuracy. DPRK is scared of him, and if he shows up in your comments - you're probably cooked, better start cooperating. Must-follow.
