How to Interpret the Where’s My Money Report
6/25/2025
This report is your crypto case file — and it’s designed to be simple even if you’re not a blockchain expert.
Here’s how to read it step by step:
🔹 First Hop: Your Transaction
This is the initial transaction where your funds left your wallet.
You’ll see:
- Date/Time the transaction occurred
- Transaction Hash — a unique ID for the transaction (can be clicked to verify on a blockchain explorer)
- Amount sent and its USD value at the time
- Sending Wallet (your wallet)
- Receiving Wallet (the scammer’s address)
- Current Balance of the receiving wallet, showing if funds are still sitting there
- Attribution tells you whether the wallet belongs to a known exchange or is linked to criminal activity
🔹 Additional Hops (if shown)
- If your funds were moved again, these are shown in second, third, or further hops.
- You can see how many wallets were involved and whether any leads can be followed, such as wallets that belong to exchanges or mixers.
🔹 Interpretation Tips
- If a wallet is labeled “exchange,” law enforcement may be able to subpoena the exchange to identify the scammer.
- If the funds end up in a mixer or privacy tool, it may suggest an attempt to obscure the trail.
- A “no leads” status means the wallet hasn’t been attributed — yet — but Traceback will continue monitoring for future matches.
