Hackers who stole over $450 million worth of assets from FTX and FTX.US only seconds after the doomed cryptocurrency exchange filed for bankruptcy on November 11 continue to shift assets around in an effort to launder the money they stole from the exchanges.
Based on research conducted by ZackXBT, it has been determined that at least $4.1m (255 BTC) has been moved to OKX by the attackers, after the use of the Bitcoin mixer ChipMixer.
It is quite probable that a user on the OKX platform was the one responsible for the theft of cash. There is no question that OKX will be the focus of a great deal more attention at this point.
According to CNBC’s report, the hackers took around 477 million dollars worth of bitcoin from FTX. According to the same source, significant portions of the enormous sum taken were transferred into the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum.
On November 20, the hacker started moving the Ether that they had stolen to a new wallet address. Following the hack, the person who dumped 50,000 ETH from their FTX wallet was the 27th biggest holder of ETH. However, after the hack, that position decreased by 10 places.
After the deposits that were made to the OKX exchange were discovered, the director of OKX wrote on Twitter that OKX is aware of the matter, and that the team is reviewing the wallet flow. OKX is now looking into the situation.
It is generally agreed that November was a terrible month for the now-defunct exchange business FTX. The allegations that client money had been mishandled and the overwhelming debt swiftly led to the filing of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which precipitated the rapid drop of the FTT native token.
