Tracing with Transaction Board

The Transaction board is designed to make it easier for investigators to trace the flow of mis-appropriated funds.

Every transaction added to a board will have a transaction node connecting the sending and receiving address (indicated below).

Forward Trace

When performing a forward trace, by clicking on the link to the receiving address (refer to the link between A and B), this will automatically pull up a list of all transactions executed by the receiving address (B) that took place AFTER the transaction node (indicated by C). This saves the user time by not requiring them to apply a time filter and allows the user to immediately look for the next withdrawals executed by B after the transaction.

Backward Trace

When performing a backward trace, by clicking on the link from the sending address (refer to the link between A and B), this will automatically pull up a list of all transactions executed by the sending address (A) that took place BEFORE the transaction node (indicated by C). This saves the user time by not requiring them to apply a time filter and allows the user to immediately look for the previous deposits into A.
