Yesterday’s Ether transfer occurred from four addresses between September 30 and October 1, according to Spot On Chain data. Additionally a total of 10,250 ETH worth $17.1 million were transferred, indicating that the FTX exploiter had started utilizing the stolen funds.
The exploiter initially held 175,496 ETH ($294 million); however, the recent transfers reduced the portfolio to $196.014 million. The FTX hacker transferred a total of 67,500 ETH across five of their 15 wallet addresses.
The FTX exploiter directed a substantial portion of the transfers, moving 64,948 ETH ($108 million) to the THORchain router and 52 ETH ($84,000) to the Railgun contract. Furthermore, they swapped the remaining 2,500 ETH ($4.19 million) with Bitcoin (tBTC).
The arguments presented during the second day of the trial where the Department of Justice accused SBF of misleading investors on the platform, and the defense team’s efforts to explain Bankman-Fried’s role have sparked a major debate in the crypto world.
