Illustrative case: linking reports to one fake platform

Illustrative example. This is not a real case. Details are invented to show the process.

What happened

Two unrelated people reported deposits to the same "investment" website. Both were later asked for withdrawal fees.

The traces

Each trace started from the person's own deposits. Both reached the same set of collection addresses, then the same exchange deposit addresses.

Why it mattered

Showing that two reports led to the same addresses made the evidence stronger for both. The website and its deposit addresses were added to Chainsentra's fraud intelligence, so wallet screening now flags them.

The hand-off

Both reports were shared, with consent, with the police forces handling each case and with the exchange's compliance team.
