We need to get them back and registered! Previous ones were not registered get a private detective license should do the math but they will require donations to start up as they might only solve 5 out of 100 bitcoin crimes, so payment will be less if they take it as a full time job..
What did they do specifically? Like what information did they require on a case and what was the result?
unless you hand them the evidence and all the documentation. the answer to the question is nothing. the most they would do is search the forums and post history of the accused and gleam information from other people. and claim they done all the 'investigations' bt wont take anyone to court or anything of the sort.
average joe could find out the same info they would possibly gleam from the internet. purely because "they" are also "average joe".
what is needed is not average joe, sitting in a basement that paid a fee to be a P.i. but we need to find people that were or are:
police officers (able to perform arrests and gather evidence)
military (able to do alot of foot work to locate and surveillance the accused)
lawyer (to be the accused's prosecutor)
basement dwelling armchair activists need not apply
