By 2021, scam networks were no longer operating from a handful of isolated wallet addresses. Instead, they were using large clusters of wallets, automated movement patterns, and chain-hopping sequences designed to conceal ownership and disrupt straightforward tracing.
To stay ahead of these tactics, we developed and implemented a major methodological upgrade: internal wallet cluster-mapping tools.
This advancement allowed us to:
• Associate multiple wallets with a single operator, revealing coordinated activity behind what appeared to be unrelated addresses
• Track flows across chain-hopping sequences, including transitions between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and secondary networks
• Identify centralized exchanges used as exit points, whether for liquidation or mixing attempts
These improvements dramatically increased the clarity and evidentiary strength of our reports. Instead of viewing transactions in isolation, we could present clients—and later, banks and law enforcement—with a structured, high-resolution picture of how stolen assets were moved and where they ultimately landed.
Cluster mapping remains one of the most important components of modern blockchain forensics and is now fully integrated into our financial investigations practice.
If you need help understanding whether multiple wallets are connected, or if you’re facing a scam that involves complex transaction routing, we can review your evidence confidentially. For support or next steps, please contact us.
