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

TechFlow reports that on September 25, on-chain detective ZachXBT posted that he helped a victim recover $275,000 stolen by an Indian phone scam ring this month, but has received no response from them regarding the agreed-upon reward split for nearly four weeks, despite their continued activity on X.

ZachXBT stated that since June 2026, three individuals have failed to pay him the agreed-upon reward for assisting in fund recovery, involving a total of approximately $100,000. These experiences have diminished his willingness to continue handling requests from strangers, and going forward, he will primarily respond to requests recommended by trusted mutual contacts.
