ZachXBT says three clients stiffed him on $100K in recovery fees
- —Three clients have failed to pay agreed fees since June 2026, totaling about $100,000
- —In September he helped recover $275,000 stolen by an Indian phone-scam group
- —The client in that case has been unreachable for about four weeks but remains active on X
- —ZachXBT no longer answers cold DMs, handling only referrals from trusted mutual contacts
Why it matters: Unpaid recovery work could discourage on-chain sleuths from assisting scam victims, making it harder to claw back stolen funds.
