On-chain detective ZachXBT said he has been subjected to “borderline harassment” by the Criminal Investigation (CI) division of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for seeking his help in blockchain investigations.
ZachXBT explained that while he has been willing to help victims and provide necessary information to law enforcement, he believes that the US law enforcement agency has crossed his “personal boundaries” in seeking his assistance in solving blockchain crimes.
He claimed: “They used my old address, contacted my personal email with private data, and emailed me when I had public contact information.” One of the several pictures ZachXBT shared showed an email from an IRS-CI agent requesting ZachXBT’s help while praising him for “doing an excellent job.” (Cointelegraph)
