ZachXBT: Has Helped Recover $275,000 in Scam Funds This Year, but Repeatedly Stiffed by Victims on Bounties

On-chain detective ZachXBT posted that he helped a victim recover $275,000 stolen by an Indian telephone scam gang this month, but has not received a response regarding the agreed reward split for about four weeks since, despite the other party continuing to be active on the X platform. ZachXBT stated that since June 2026, three individuals have failed to pay him the agreed reward for assisting in recovering funds, amounting to a combined total of approximately $100,000. These experiences have diminished his willingness to continue handling requests from strangers, and moving forward he will primarily respond to help requests referred by trusted mutual contacts.
