In response to the WSJ's article, both Chainalysis and Elliptic have raised questions about the accuracy of the reporting. This research project involves a critical evaluation of the claims made by the WSJ and the implications outlined in Senator Elizabeth Warren's letter. Using the provided resources and additional information, our goal is to replicate and build upon the work conducted by Elliptic and BitOK. We will utilize chain analysis tools and conventional reporting techniques to focus on verifying facts. This initiative aims to debunk specific details of the story, establish an independent, fact-based account of the events, and create data visualizations and graphics to address the WSJ's reporting.

We commenced our data retrieval process by compiling the addresses specified in seizure orders AO 34/23, ASO 19/23, and ASO 15/22. These addresses served as the focal points of our investigation.

This comprehensive data collection serves as the foundation for our analysis, allowing us to delve accurately into financial transactions. With this strong basis, we can now examine discrepancies and achieve a clearer understanding of the situation.

Also, I used this source for gathering addresses.
