# Due Diligence before Investment

How can we conduct pre-investment due diligence by using Scopescan？

The following is an example of a due diligence exercise to determine the mixed use of funds between **Alameda** and **SBF** himself.

We will mention a few addresses in this report.They are:

**SBF**: 0xD57581D9e42E9032e6f60422fA619b4A4574Ba79 (one of these Sushi Multisig signers)

**Alameda Research**: \
0xf108a465a5dafb51bb48615b1a4f5e00401ff90d\
0x964d9d1a532b5a5daeacbac71d46320de313ae9c\
0xa6e683d5dccce898f16bb48071f08f2304c8ba09(tagged by us and other on-chain tools)

**These addresses are represented by their real identities as follows**

The reason why we think they have been sharing the same funds for a long time:

1. **Alameda Research** provide initial gas funding to **SBF**

2. **Alameda Research** directly transferred 12710 ETH to **SBF** in September 2020.

3. A lot of **Alameda Research** addresses share the same Deposit Address with **SBF**

The basic idea is to find the connection in the **Address Clustering Tool**.

* Pull your mouse on the link between Deposit Address and EOA address to find the top transferred token.

* Get the Deposit Address

Then go to the **Money Flow Tool** to find the specific transaction with the address and token you find above.
