The official FTX Twitter account also referenced the Chainalysis report, pažymėti that the hacker was using intermediate wallets in their attempt to hide the funds’ movement.
Chainalysis also noted that the stolen FTX funds were not drained into an account controlled by the Bahamas government were not entirely true.
„Pranešimai, kad iš FTX pavogtos lėšos iš tikrųjų buvo išsiųstos Bahamų vertybinių popierių komisijai, yra neteisingi. Kai kurios lėšos buvo pavogtos, o kitos lėšos buvo išsiųstos reguliavimo institucijoms.
The hacker could be looking to mix the funds, Chainalysis added, suggesting the thief might be attempting to make it harder to trace the stolen money.
According to crypto analyst KamikazETH, the hacker has dumped roughly $15 million ETH tokens and was looking to dump a further $12 million early afternoon Sunday. Per the crypto sleuth, the thief was using Wrapped BTC and then renBTC to try to cash out.
