Lightning Network Practical

Beginning in January 2024, undercover officer conducted numerous purchases of fentanyl from a target using the Bitcoin Lightning network. Due to the transactions being off-chain, the undercover officer has not been able to track transactions or positively identify the target of the investigation. Fortunately, the undercover officer was able to use a ruse technique to identify the target's on-chain Bitcoin Lightning Wallet Deposit address of:

      bc1q5d78vlydrqaptnyhawhmqfgskshs63u3lytxrt

Based on this on-chain lightning wallet address, attempt to identify any exchange the target may have used to fund the Bitcoin Lightning Wallet address or to liquidate funds from the address in January 2024. 

NOTE: CT - PRO use Tracer and set a date filter of 1-1-24 - 1-31-24
 

  • Document the last four of the transaction hash, the suspect address, and the exchange deposit address that you would use to prepare a Letterhead Memo to the exchange for account information.
