😂The Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department and the Wenzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau jointly released a technical report, disclosing the domestic police's handling procedures for crypto-related cases.

It's largely accurate. Sometimes, when reading media reports, cross-chain tracking is portrayed as overly mystical, as if entering an address can 100% automatically restore the entire global fund flow path.
In reality, it's not that magical. Most domestic crypto law enforcement still relies on the same old methods: arresting people, seizing devices, and checking transaction records.
Phones, computers, hard drives, chat records, memos, screenshots, cloud drives, exchange apps, email verification codes, OTC conversations—as long as mnemonics, private keys, wallet addresses, or exchange accounts can be found, many cases are already half-solved.
Moreover, law enforcement doesn't need to perfectly crack every step. As long as they can piece together the on-chain path, timestamps, amount characteristics, and device evidence into a closed loop, it's basically sufficient.
This is also a common misunderstanding of crypto anonymity.
In reality, the hardest part isn't the investigation—it's the subsequent disposal.
Crypto bros keep shouting "Not your keys, not your coins," but the reality is:
Not your phone, not your privacy.
