 <p class="is-style-lead">Cryptocurrency detective ZachXBT disclosed on social media that his account, along with a few others, has been subpoenaed by a court demanding a wide array of personal information.</p>
 <p>Cryptocurrency <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="detective" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/detective.html">detective</a> ZachXBT said on social media that his X account and a few others were <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="subpoena" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/subpoena.html">subpoena</a>ed by a court, seeking more information about them “for an unclear reason.”</p>

 <p>In a post on Oct. 21, the blockchain sleuth attached two screenshots. One describes the information required by a court, which X was obliged to produce. The second one was X’s notice about the legal request.</p>

 <p>Although the reason behind the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="subpoena" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/subpoena.html">subpoena</a> remains unclear, the required information includes names, billing records, IP addresses, phone numbers, text detailed records, records of session times, and so on.</p>

 </blockquote>
 <p>Although the scope of the required information is vast, ZachXBT suggested “it does not necessarily mean” X can provide all of this, given that “the request was overly <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="broad" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/broad.html">broad</a> and unrelated to my account.”</p>
 <p>Some X users supposed that ZachXBT might eventually be called to testify in court as a witness, to which the blockchain detective responded he “would decline to help” given the method used to approach him.</p>
 <p>In mid-June 2023, non-fungible token (NFT) trader Jeffrey Huang (also known as MachiBigBrother) sued the blockchain sleuth over an investigation published in June 2022.</p>
 <p>During the inquiry, ZachXBT alleged the trader stole 22,000 ETH from a now-closed project Formosa Financial. However, in August 2023 Huang withdrew his defamation suit after the sleuth softened his accusations.</p>
