💰 Hackers Swipe $20M from U.S. Government Wallet?
On October 24, analysts at Arkham Intelligence detected suspicious transactions from a U.S. government-linked crypto wallet that previously held funds seized from Bitfinex hackers. It appears that someone moved around $20 million in assets from the wallet:
- 13.6M aUSDC
- 5.44M USDC
- 1.12M USDT
- 177,892 ETH
While $13.1M remains in the wallet, some assets have already been transferred to other addresses and seem to be exchanged for ETH.
Arkham suspects the hacker has begun laundering funds through addresses linked to crypto “cleaning” services. On-chain detective ZachXBT also identified two more hacker addresses holding $5.4M and $1.36M, respectively.
