A useful investigation states what was checked, how the observation was obtained and what it cannot establish. MASTR’s toolkit describes the services used for different tasks; the scanner and wallet-attribution guides explain why an attractive visualisation does not replace the underlying records. Labels are leads. A connection between addresses still needs interpretation.

Corrections are part of the record. Several posts here challenge a dramatic headline by narrowing it to the actual question: index membership rather than a stock-market ban, a proposed law rather than a measured reduction in manipulation, or a market move rather than proof of an exchange’s intent. Reading these alongside the original claims makes the method visible.

The stolen-funds note draws another important boundary. Tracing a transaction is not the same as recovering assets. Recovery can depend on intermediaries, legal process, the availability of funds and facts outside a public ledger. Keep the evidence, the service being offered and the expected outcome separate.
