It is with great emphasis that I bring to your attention the ongoing investigation and prosecution of the dBTC Exploit that began in the year 2022. Despite significant progress, the matter requires the continued support of all master nodes to bring it to its conclusion.
Achievements in 2022:
An investigative team, composed of experts in the fields of analysis, law, law enforcement, and the undersigned, have devoted countless hours to the pursuit of this matter, yielding the following results:
Securing of evidence
Research and investigation of the suspects
Evaluation of the legal aspects of the situation
Provision of reports and evidence to multiple international law enforcement agencies
Commencement of criminal prosecution in one jurisdiction, which is a remarkable success.
In the year 2022, the advanced CFP amount was DFI 1,000,000.
The primary goal of the ongoing investigation is to retrieve the illegally obtained funds and to bring the responsible parties to justice on behalf of the DeFIChain Ecosystem and community. Our investigative team is optimistic, taking into consideration the substantial evidence obtained thus far and the progress made.
Consequently, and in light of the fact that the total costs cannot be definitively determined at this time, I am seeking an initial advance of 200,000 DFI (including the CFP fee) to finance the next stage of the investigation and prosecution in the year 2023. Like in the previous year, any unused funds will be returned at the conclusion of the year, accompanied by a report on their expenditure. Funds will only be disbursed upon receipt of invoices.
The requested amount, inclusive of the CFP fee, will be: DFI 200,000
DFI 198,000 (reserved for the investigation) and DFI 2000 (1% CFP fee) = DFI 200,000
Important notice:
Please be advised that this is a confidential and ongoing investigation, and I am dealing with individuals who are considered criminals. No detailed public information can be released at this stage unless advised otherwise by the legal and law enforcement agencies involved. Confidentiality is imperative to the operation's success and to ensure the safety of all parties involved. It is of utmost importance that the suspects remain unaware of any progress made in the investigation. A final report on the matter will be issued at the end of 2023 on Reddit. Until then, no further information can be disclosed.
I implore you to consider this request and provide your support as a master node holder to ensure the continuation of this investigation, which is only made possible through financial support.
