Whodunit? 🕵️‍♂️ Blockchains’ Sleuth Joins Money’s Brain Trust

In a twist as unexpected as a plot from a dime novel, the intrepid blockchain gumshoe known as ZachXBT has donned a new hat, this time as a sage for the learned cryptocurrency outfit, Paradigm.

ZachXBT, a self-proclaimed survivor of cons and a 2D sleuth of the digital wild west, spilled the beans on the whole shebang in a X dispatch on the last day of February’s short lease. The crypto Columbo says he’s to be the incident response consigliere, aiding Paradigm’s stable of companies as they navigate the choppy seas of digital dough.

As he ties the knot with the firm, our man of mystery made it clear he’s not about to hang up his magnifying glass. He’s sticking to his guns, which is to say, he’ll still be on the beat, sniffing out and solving blockchain banditry. And about joining Paradigm? He made it sound as easy as pie.

“Choosing this gig was a no-brainer,” he drawled. “Keeps me in the saddle, fighting the good fight and publishing my yarns. Always did admire how Paradigm throws its weight behind do-gooders like the Security Alliance and keeps the privacy peddlers at bay.”

Paradigm’s co-pilot, Matt Huang, flew the same flag, affirming that ZachXBT’s beat will stay the same, only now with a shiny new badge.

“ZachXBT? He’s the hero this story needs, a regular Sherlock Holmes of the blockchain. He’s slung the crooks over his shoulder and returned a king’s ransom to the swindled. As the pot grows, so does the need for his kind. We’re tickled pink to have him aboard. He’ll keep on keeping on, just with a bit more clout.”

ZachXBT’s been the harbinger of doom for many a cyber-criminal, his sleuthing so thorough it’s like he’s got a crystal ball. His work’s helped the lawmen slap the cuffs on more ne’er-do-wells than you can shake a stick at.

In his latest escapade, he cracked the case of the $1.5 billion Bybit blunder, pegging the Lazarus Group as the miscreants. And for his troubles? A cool $50k from Arkham, just like that.

Bybit themselves gave a nod to ZachXBT’s detective work, rolling out a platform that’s ready to square up to the Lazarus lads. And why not? They’ve got the best private eye in the business on their side.
