Crypto investigator ZachXBT's upcoming support website will block Canada, the UK, India and Nigeria, citing repeated failures by local authorities to act on evidence.

Crypto investigator ZachXBT plans to launch a new website for handling crypto fraud cases. The site will restrict access from Canada, the UK, India, Nigeria and several other jurisdictions.
In a Telegram post, ZachXBT said the decision follows repeated problems with local authorities. He described the affected jurisdictions as "low quality countries" where police often fail to act on evidence or help victims recover stolen funds.
Canada drew the strongest criticism. ZachXBT said he provided detailed information about threat actors to Canadian agencies. Victims still received little help. He called Toronto a major fraud center.
India also made the list. ZachXBT said Indian law enforcement once contacted him for help with frozen funds. Other cases involved emails used to unfreeze funds linked to the Lazarus Group. He claimed Indian authorities arrested crypto exchange founders after mistaking a phishing site for a legitimate platform.
When asked about Morocco and Algeria, ZachXBT gave a stronger response. He said "governments are useless" and alleged that some people involved in home-invasion robberies come from those regions. Morocco, Algeria and Bangladesh completed the list of restricted countries.
The planned site aims to make ZachXBT's support work more selective. He said he would prioritize users from jurisdictions where authorities are more likely to respond to blockchain evidence. Instead of handling every request that comes in, he will focus on cases where local law enforcement cooperates.
Some in the crypto community praised the approach. Investigators should not waste time on cases where authorities refuse to cooperate, they said. Others pushed back. Victims should not lose access to help because of their nationality or location, critics argued.
The decision carries real implications for crypto fraud victims in the affected countries. Canada has a large crypto user base. The UK and India are major markets for digital assets. Those users will now have fewer options for recovery when exchanges or scammers steal their funds.
ZachXBT's reputation as a blockchain investigator has grown over the years. He has helped recover millions of dollars in stolen crypto. This move could reshape how the crypto community views geographic targeting in fraud support.
No launch date for the new website has been announced.
