Developer releases free blockchain investigator tool Blockworm
A poster on r/Bitcoin announced Blockworm, a free blockchain investigator they wrote to help with a lawsuit, saying it worked well enough to release publicly. The post says giving it a single address shows other addresses owned by the same person, funds available for recovery, and recovery options with approximate cost. It also states exchange detection has started but cannot be applied to historical records, and that the IP address of an exchange can be viewed live but is not stored in the blockchain.
