- From Cointelegraph (3-2023):
"In the latter half of 2022, ZachXBT tweeted about feeling worn out, questioning their future as a crypto industry detective.

"ZachXBT does detailed on-chain research – tracking wallets and transactions associated with hacks, phishing scams and other attacks – and shares his knowledge in Twitter threads naming and shaming bad actors.

- From The Defiant (30-12-2022):
"Zach holds down a full-time job, and estimated his crypto detective work takes between 50 and 60 additional hours per week. (He didn’t share the nature of his day job. Before responding to a list of questions, he noted he would be vague answering any that gestured toward his personal life.)"
