Why so vague? Why not post the exact numbers of bitcoin? Then your potential clients could find it on the blockchain and verify your words.
Thank you for looking into our report.
There are several reasons for our "vague" information on this case.
I will only discuss the two most important ones here.
1. this is a rather complex case for which we have analyzed thousands of transactions. In addition, parts of the analyses are based on so-called "heuristics". Here, results that cannot be calculated exactly are estimated as accurately as possible by an algorithm. Therefore, no one can simply "look up" our analysis in the blockchain.
2 Of course, we do not want our publications to hinder investigations by the authorities or warn suspects in advance. This is another reason why the information is always quite vague.
As the U.S. DOJ has already brought charges in this case, I will link to them here.
The DOJ published the indictment on November 21, 2022.
Our case study on our website was published almost a year earlier and our investigation into it is of course even older.
