§ 01 — Profile

On-chain investigator and AML compliance analyst tracing illicit fund flows across EVM chains.

Conducting fund tracing, KYT/transaction monitoring, and financial crime investigations since 2024 — applying FATF, OFAC, and FinCEN frameworks to real casework.

§ 02 — Operating Principles

01

Assert only what the data supports.

CONFIRMED, PROBABLE, UNCONFIRMED — never collapsed into one.

02

Slow movement beats no movement.

A logged blocker is progress. An abandoned thread is not.

03

The exit matters as much as the source.

Following funds to a cash-out endpoint is not enough — the regulatory posture of that endpoint is part of the finding.

04

Automation leaves fingerprints.

21,000 gas, every transaction, every time. Determinism is a signature.

05

Label what you don't know.

An open thread documented is more honest than a conclusion forced.
