Over the past 2.5 years I have built up a pseudonymous identity shedding a light on all the wrong doing that goes on in the Crypto and NFT space. The topics I've researched range from insider trading, phishing scams, rug pulls, exploits, & other unethical behavior.
After falling victim to a rug pull as a newcomer during the 2017 crypto bull-run I began to notice similar behavior in 2020 once again. I eventually became frustrated and decided to document the shady things that go on in the space to help as many people as possible and increase transparency in the space.
What began as just one thread quickly evolved into something much larger. My work has been featured in places such as Bloomberg, Wired, NYT, & many other places. Most of my time is spent researching leads using on-chain tooling (TRM, Breadcrumbs, Dune, & various blockchain explorers). Findings are then openly shared with my Twitter audience.
All funding received will go to equipment upgrades, future legal costs, and to whatever you value my time. All work currently goes unpaid besides a donation address set up last year and any grants received.
