Thank you!

Dude, *Adriannotch* you are a modern-day hero. So glad law enforcement is on board.!!!!!

I would like to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart! So many from tough harsh living conditions that suffer and you helping and giving them something that they desperately need just to survive. I thank God for wonderful people like you that are making the differences that truly matter most! God bless THE ADRIAN NOTCH !

Thanks for the clear and persice exlplaination....

Great stuff - very easy to understand

This should be required viewing for all Crypto-Bros. In all seriousness, this taught more in 8 minutes than most long form videos about block chain tech explain in 30+ minutes. Thanks!

I'm glad it was useful!

I would love to see a forensic investigation video made on any recent token "rug pulls" . Which wallets were involved, were they "founders" wallets, where they went, etc. Since these events are becoming more commonplace, it would be nice to know that the rug pull execution is traceable. Would totally make a donation for that video.

I was just reading the article below about that exact topic. AFAIK most of them don't usually get dumped into known founders wallets. I'll dig in to some of the biggest recent cases and make a video on it. Thank you! www.complianceweek.com/risk-management/report-cryptocurrency-related-crime-reaches-record-14b-in-2021/31227.article

Have a question. There are courses on crypto investigation. Are those useful?

Some of them are - it depends on the company. I'd recommend the book "Investigating Cryptocurrencies" (amzn.to/3r9y9kp) it's getting a bit old, but still a lot of great info if you're getting started.

Why did they stop taking clients?

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

Whilst this was a very useful introduction to blockchain - I was expecting to learn about how to carry out a cryptocurrency investigation, which wasn't covered at all. Is this content coming in a later video? If not, I seriously suggest you re-title your video to more accurately describe the content. Cheers.

Yup the rest of the month is about investigation / seizure. This was to get some of the main concepts out of the way so I can refer back to it in the other videos. Wallets and seizures should be out tomorrow!

how to contact people on the and if have only wallet address or tx ?

You cannot contact people if you only have the wallet address. You could embed messages in the transaction and send them money maybe?

No sadly. Fortunately it was only £500, even the fraud squad said there wasn't enough to investigate although therlir online form was shite - too simplistic so I gave up. I did identify what was going on though. Everytime you deposited funds it was instantly distributed to various accounts so what you saw on the website was make believe. Anyway, I invested on a proper exchange and got my money back. I hope you didn't lose too much money.

"Never invest in something you don't understand." How can people invest in this 'crypto future' when (guess) 1/10,000 people can understand it? Who has time, patience(or comprehensive ability)for crypto classes before their first transaction?

As a Caucasian, I'm sorry for what these people are doing, *Adrian notch* please keep on exposing these scammers

I'm in the process of being scammed. My account address is actually the perpetrator's address. When I plugged that address into Block Chain Explorer there is an endless number of transactions (not mine I guess). Is there a simply way to seize these funds or at least what I'm owed as my assets were frozen on first attempt (obviously)?

If you have the private key for the wallet, then you also have full control of the wallet. Just transfer what you want to another private wallet only you control. If someone is hosting your wallet, then they are probably some sort of exchange? If they are an exchange, then they should be able to request funds or call law enforcement. If you are sending your money to another person's personal wallet you can still try to open a case with law enforcement, but the likelihood of getting your money back is very, very low. Only use very well established exchanges and transfer money to local wallets that only you control and *know how to secure*.

Thanks, it's actually a scam exchange where my account address isn't actually mine but scammer so whenever I deposited funds it was going into their account but they frozen my assets as soon as I attempted to withdraw hence the backdoor route. I've informed fraud Scotland but nothing else has happened. What software should I use to make the transfer, the one use used in your video?

@@oddjob6001 contact their "support" and tell them you are trying to transfer in 500,000 euro but you need to pay the "down payment" first, but your assets were frozen "for some reason". Hopefully they will be greedy and release your funds to try to get the 500k. Don;t let them know you think they are a scam. If that doesn't work then you will have to trace them back to an actual exchange, which is not usually easy.

Thanks for your advice. The so called customer service rarely responds but I'm in contact with the scammer via WhatsApp and whenever I mention a delay with customer service the scammer directs me to check again and lo and behold there's a response. Anyway, the scammer stated to unfreeze my funds I need to deposit the same amount I originally deposited which isn't happening so I'm going to see if I can withdraw anyway as I don't believe 'my funds' are actually frozen as it is the scammer account. Thanks again though.

Have you got your money back? I am in the same position🙈

The whole nature of cryptocurrency is ripe for unscrupulous 'brokers'.

I was got scammed on binance is there any chance to get it back
