 | Yesterday a dormant Bitcoin address transferred funds for the first time after 7 years and it turns out it probably belongs to the Mt. Gox hackers. 2,720 BTC equal to 126,010,161 USD were transferred out of the wallet. The funds have a direct connection to the old cold/hot wallets of the Japan based exchange Mt. Gox that was hacked several years ago. The Whale Alert detected the wallet. Here is the TXID: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/d2d5f92d23567292a6ec40a911b2dbe9b326abeb4909a5e351a83c36cd580a65 The hacker wallet movements on the blockchain. Most of the funds will probably never be sold since large amounts require KYC nowadays at exchanges and the funds can be tracked/linked directly to the hack, which makes them "dirty coins". The sudden movement after 7 years seems odd, it could be due to prison time, cold storage re-organising or a lost wallet found again. Here you can check the wallet movements from Mt. Gox to the hackers on the blockchain yourself: https://explorer.crystalblockchain.com/visualization/ZtCKHMmpD672LZ73?x=-239.49240112304688&y=-402.4735412597656&k=1.3195078372955322 [link] [comments] |
