ZachXBT, a pseudonymous blockchain researcher, claims to have successfully recovered a majority of funds from a stolen non-fungible token (NFT).
On Feb. 24, ZachXBT shared with his 505,000-plus social media followers the outcome of a nine-month investigation into the theft of the DeGods #3251 NFT. He disclosed that the majority of the funds have been successfully returned to the victim.
The NFT in question was sold for 99 Ether (ETH), amounting to approximately $177,000 at the time.
ZachXBT explained that he received a message from the victim in May 2023, shortly after the victim discovered that his wallet had been emptied.
Who is ZachXBT?
ZachXBT conducts investigations of varying durations, depending on the complexity involved.
He often utilizes simple diagrams to illustrate phishing scams and track fund movements, including through crypto mixers.
He expressed satisfaction in sharing success stories of fund recovery, emphasizing that while the process can be lengthy, it is achievable.
ZachXBT also mentioned his intention to wrap up his pro bono blockchain investigation work soon. This decision came after receiving feedback from frustrated X users who expected assistance in recovering stolen crypto, despite his clear stance that his services are offered free of charge.
He cited this frustration as a reason for discontinuing his public goods work shortly, but it may however take some time.
