The protocol isn't a court. Suspending their access to bitcoin, because, according to your jurisdiction, they shouldn't have it, doesn't mean the rest of us agree with such anti-freedom and anti-fungible mindset. Bitcoin transactions are non-reversible, and money ownership is censorship-resistant. Those are the rules; you either accept them, or leave the place.If you believe they're a criminal, you should report them to the police. It's highly unlikely to find them if they know what they're doing, but that's your best course. You can't suspend criminally-linked Bitcoin activity at the expense of innocent users.

Is this related to your previous thread? Which address that you judge as a scammer btw? Even if you managed to do that I think it will only show as malicious on explorer (just like how Etherscan works for example). Some exchanges might block transactions coming from those "malicious" addresses if they use the same blacklist database but you can't do anything if they refuse to do it.

That some bitcoin addresses had received transactions from "suspicious" addresses doesn't automatically make its owner a scammer or criminal because rational bitcoin users don't do chain surveillance neither on their payers nor payees: they instead accept each bitcoin transaction regardless of its source because it is a right thing to do if you want a global adoption for a censorship-resistant, decentralized money such as bitcoin. Don't be like those chain surveillance companies that think they have a right to dictate what is a "dirty" or "clean" transaction, don't be an arbiter of truth like they are striving to be, and don't force your moral principles on others, just be an honest bitcoiner who respects yourself and others' rights to privacy and freedom.

No because bitcoin is not centralized to have any option that would prevent anybody from spending their own money. The only possible scenario is if a government pressured a centralized service (like a shop accepting bitcoin payments in that government's jurisdiction) to refuse receiving payment from a certain address. But that still can't prevent the owner from spending their coins or moving them to a different address then making the payment.

There is another possible scenario.You can monitor those coins, and once they go to some centralized exchange like binance/coinbase you can inform the police and the exchange so the freeze the funds.You cannot stop coins flowing through the blockchain, but when he tries to convert btc into fiat (through exchanges) it is possible to get them back.

These codes simply represent groupings made by walletexplorer.com. It groups addresses together based on these addresses being used together as inputs in the same transaction, with the assumption that this means they belong to the same entity. Each group of such addresses is given a code if walletexplorer is unable to identify who that group belongs to.Last I checked, walletexplorer.com is quite outdated and does not know of many of the newer wallets belonging to various exchanges and services. You might have better luck checking out the following sites:

Depending on how the exchange works, it may be possible. After you make a deposit to your exchange deposit address, the exchange sends the fund to their own wallet. If the wallet used by the exchange is publicly known, it should be easy to find out what exchange the address belongs to. Use .
