CYA

This is not a Strike support request. This is questions regarding the support I received and what methods are publicly available for such a decision.
I intended to make a wire purchase of BTC on the order of $5k with my Strike account, so I created a suppport request in their app to get a calculation or estimate of purchase and send fees that I would need to accommodate in my process. In response to that support request, something they would not answer here in the r/strikebtc reddit, they asked for details on a wallet I regularly send to for some time, looked like a KYC thing and I provided what was asked. After providing the target BTC wallet, they determined the wallet is associated with a scam AND have decided to close my account. Rather than just blindly accepting that they must know something I don't, I'd like to know more about how such a determination can be made just based on wallet address and transaction history.

So my first question is how do they determine ownership of a BTC wallet, enough to determine it is scam-related, given the anonymity of crypto wallets? Other than the transaction history which can be viewed in Blockchain Explorer by anyone, what resources are publicly available to make such a determination? Or is this just a calculated guess based on some AI-based pattern recognition?
If it truly is a scam, I'd like to know how to detect for myself in the future. I'm not asking about general scam detection methods. I am asking specifically about scam determination based solely on wallet address and transaction history. If there is no way to really know, closing my account seems more CYA than customer support.
I've used Strike for several years and have always been very pleased with their service and support. This time, the support leading up to this was not what I've come to expect from Strike. My initial questions were never answered, and I guess it doesn't matter now since they closed my account and of course refuse to reveal any specifics on why.
So if I can educate myself on scam wallet detection methods, that would be ideal. If what they have done by closing my account seems more CYA based on questions being asked by a customer than based on factual methods, that is a significantly different issue.

So keep some warrants to CYA if shit gets out of hand

Your advice is to ignore history and bet on something that has a proven *losing* record (in comparison) instead?
What makes you think that it is *less* likely that what has worked well for the past few decades won't work for the next few? Nobody *knows* what the future holds, so we make our best estimate. And where does "best estimate of future behavior" come from? *Past behavior*, in the absence of *clear evidence* that there has been a significant change of some kind.
*Basically everything we do in life* is based on the expectation that ***the past does predict the future***. "The last time I touched a hot stove, I got burned, so I'll remember to not do that in the future. The last time I didn't take my umbrella on a cloudy looks-like-rain day, I got wet, so I'm taking one today. The last time I "proved" to my wife that she was wrong about something that had upset her, I was in the doghouse for days, so this time I'm just going to listen, sympathize, and support."
Why do you expect the sun to come up tomorrow morning? By your "logic", you shouldn't.
The "past performance does not guarantee..." disclaimer (and they usually say "guarantee", not "predict") is a CYA effort to preemptively avoid lawsuits. It isn't a guideline for living your life. Because the past *does* predict the future.
