The TikTok Investigator
Account monitoring, live-stream capture, recording, transcription, and gift-network analysis for TikTok investigations. Track any account's live broadcasts and its regular posting, capture every gift and chat event in real time, convert diamond flows to USD, record and transcribe the stream, and export the results.
Live investigation overview · sample data
TikTok's Gift Economy Is a Blind Spot
TikTok Live allows users to send virtual gifts worth real money. Viewers purchase coins, send gifts during live streams, and creators convert diamonds to cash. This creates an unregulated, cross-border payment channel that sits entirely outside traditional banking oversight.
Criminal networks exploit this system to launder money through coordinated gifting patterns, circular flows between accounts, rapid high-value transactions, and fan-out/fan-in distribution networks. Without specialized tools, these patterns are invisible to investigators.
The Diamond-to-Cash Pipeline
200 diamonds = $1 USD · No identity verification required for gifting
How It Works
Setup to export in six steps
Add Subjects & Triggers
Add TikTok usernames individually or in bulk. Profiles are enriched automatically, and you set trigger terms in any language - matched exact, fuzzy, and semantically across live chat and stream speech.
Detect Live & Track Posts
Subjects are checked for live status on a continuous cadence. When an account goes live we connect instantly - and between streams we keep tracking their regular posting, profile, and video activity.
Capture Everything
Gifts, chat messages, likes, follows, shares, member joins, and viewer counts are logged in sequence with full metadata. Critical trigger hits escalate by email while the stream is still live.
Map the Money
The gift ledger fills in real time. Leaderboards rank top gifters and receivers by diamonds, USD, and gift count, while the network graph scores every edge for circular flows, fan-in, fan-out, and rapid repeats.
Record & Transcribe
After the stream, a watermarked HD recording, original-language transcript, English translation, and AI analysis attach to the session - each finding cited to the exact transcript segment.
Export & Integrate
Pull everything out as CSV, PDF, branded PNG network graphs, and watermarked MP4 downloads, or connect the REST API (OpenAPI 3.1) directly to your own systems.
Features
Everything the platform captures, analyzes, and exports - grouped by what it does
Detect live broadcasts, capture every event in real time
Real-Time Live Detection
Monitor up to 100 accounts with continuous, automated live detection. The moment a subject broadcasts, we connect and capture every event throughout the session.
Gift, Chat & Engagement
Gifts, chat messages, likes, follows, shares, member joins, and viewer counts - all logged in sequence with full metadata. The complete behavioral record, not just the financial layer.
Trigger Term Monitoring
Terms in any language matched three ways - exact, fuzzy, and semantic - across live chat and stream speech. Critical, Warning, and Info severities; critical hits escalate by email mid-stream.
Account & Post Monitoring
Coverage doesn't stop when the stream ends. Between broadcasts, every monitored account is tracked for new posts, profile changes, follower movement, and video performance.
Diamond flows valued in USD, scored as a network
Dollar-Valued Gift Ledger
Every diamond flow converted to USD at 200 diamonds = $1, on every row of every ledger and export. A financial record, not a raw gift count.
Network Graph Analysis
Interactive graph with subjects in teal, externals in gray, edges sized by volume and colored by risk. Multiple layouts, minimum-diamond and minimum-risk filters, and an ego view to isolate a single account.
Automated Risk Scoring
Five named flags score every edge: high-value concentration, rapid repeats, circular flows, fan-in, and fan-out. Colored green, amber, or red across the whole graph.
Leaderboards & Earnings
Top gifters and receivers ranked by diamonds, USD, and gift count. Per-account earnings intelligence aggregates cumulative diamonds, payout, and stream time across the whole investigation.
Recorded, transcribed, translated, and analyzed
Stream Recording
Watermarked HD MP4 with in-app playback, multilingual captions, and 15-minute presigned download links. The broadcast persists even after the account deletes it.
Transcription & Translation
Original language and English, timestamped, with per-segment confidence chips and full-text search. Right-to-left scripts supported: Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, and Urdu.
AI Transcript Analysis
Executive summary, themes, narratives, calls-to-action classified by type, named entities, and risk observations - every finding cited to the exact transcript segment it came from.
Gift-and-Trigger Timeline
A timeline aligning every gift event and trigger hit to the transcript. Click any marker to jump to that moment - find the call-to-action that preceded the largest gift cluster in two clicks.
Five Risk Indicators That Expose Laundering
Our automated risk scoring analyzes every gift relationship across your investigation and flags patterns that indicate financial crime.
Each edge in the network graph receives a composite risk score from 0 to 1.0, color-coded from green (low risk) through amber to red (high risk).
High-Value Transfer
Large single-direction diamond flows that exceed normal gifting thresholds, indicating potential bulk money movement.
Rapid Repeat Gifting
Concentrated bursts of gifts in short time windows, suggesting automated or coordinated sending patterns.
Circular Flow
Bidirectional gift exchanges between accounts: A sends to B and B sends back to A. It's a hallmark of money laundering obfuscation.
Fan-Out Distribution
A single sender distributing gifts across many receivers, indicating fund dispersal through a distribution network.
Fan-In Aggregation
Multiple senders funneling gifts to a single receiver, suggesting fund collection from a coordinated network.
Exports & Integrations

The Investigator's Field Guide to TikTok Live Money Laundering
A working reference on the patterns above: detection heuristics, false-positive considerations, and network analysis methods. Written for investigators, not marketers.
Data-Driven Influencer Scoring
Forget vanity metrics. Our scoring system uses actual video performance, live session data, and gift transaction history to build a true picture of every account.
Each score ranges from 0 to 100, calculated from real engagement data rather than static benchmarks. Investigators can quickly identify which accounts warrant deeper scrutiny based on objective, data-driven signals.
