- This activity occurred right around the trial of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.
- CertiK’s analysis emphasizes the use of a peel chain while investigating.
CertiK has recently identified new behavior associated with the infamous FTX hacker. In this case, CertiK Alert detected a large bridge transaction involving 5,624 ether and Bitcoin. Moreover, the hacker transferred 7,500 Ether and 9,375 Ether to EOA.
Around 15,000 ETH were discovered to have been converted to BTC by the hacker on September 30. This measure is a direct response to warnings that the hacker who stole millions from the collapsed FTX exchange has returned. Furthermore, only days before, CertiK Alert had provided alerts about the hacker possibly bridging up to 30,000 ETH to BTC.
No Concrete Links
In this regard, the CertiK Alert has proven indispensable. CertiK’s analysis emphasizes the use of a peel chain while investigating the hacker’s techniques. This method of laundering money entails dividing up large sums of money into multiple smaller sums before moving them from one wallet to another.
This activity occurred right around the trial of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman Fried (SBF), adding to the mystery surrounding its timing. Although the trial’s proximity to the hacker’s actions has attracted curiosity, so far no concrete links have been uncovered between the two.
One of the most controversial concerns, the lack of a clear crypto regulatory framework in the U.S., has come to the fore since the trial against FTX founder and former CEO Sam Bankman Fried started on October 3. The prosecution and defense have begun to argue on the importance of U.S. crypto regulation principles to the case, which is notable.
