Even though its your own question, editing it to ask a completely different question, though related, undermines the purpose of this website: creating good answers to common questions with long term usefulness. The answers to the original question no longer apply since your change. I would have just asked a separate question and maybe added a link back to this, in its original state.

# How to ask crypto exchange to seize scammed funds traced to one of their exchange wallets?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-01-16)

There are now blockchain explorers that allow popular wallet addresses like crypto exchange aggregate wallets to be labeled with "Binance 1" or "Binance 4" for instance.

If you trace scammed funds to a "Binance 1" aggregated wallet, what is the procedure for asking the crypto exchange, Binance, to investigate the account owner for fraud? The likelihood for their support team to comply with your request? Should one seek legal counsel and the feds first?

Possibly in it's activity, exchanges have quite unique transaction footprints and this can be used to make an inference. It's not an easy process however and there is nothing in the bitcoin address itself that indicates which exchange etc. was used to create it.
