ZachXBT Considers Restricting Support for Countries with Poor Crypto Case Handling

ZachXBT, an independent onchain investigator in crypto, is considering rejecting victim-support requests from certain countries due to poor case handling. According to a report by WuBlockchain, these jurisdictions include Canada, the UK, India, Nigeria, Morocco, Algeria, and Bangladesh.

ZachXBT has been handling cases for years, often stepping in when law enforcement channels move too slowly or lack the tools to trace funds. However, he describes his experiences with some of these countries as 'the worst' and plans to automatically reject future requests from them.

The decision is not based on a single legal standard but rather on the effectiveness of case handling in each jurisdiction. For example, both Canada and the UK have established legal systems and active crypto sectors, but the actual process for victims can be slow or uncooperative.
