Scope and legal
Addresses are pseudonymous, not anonymous. Linking an address to a person usually happens off-chain: an exchange
account, a post, a donation page. Treat such a link as personal data.
Exchanges hold the identities. If funds reach an exchange, the exchange knows its customer, but only law
enforcement or a court can make it say who. Report fraud to the exchange and the police rather than trying to
identify the customer yourself.
Don't send funds to an address you are investigating, not even dust amounts to "tag" it; it can taint your own
wallet and may be illegal (sanctions).
Sanctions. Some addresses are on sanctions lists (OFAC, EU). Interacting with them, even by mistake, can have
legal consequences.
