Suspicious $238 Million Bitcoin Transaction Linked to Genesis Global Trading
Aug 20, 2024 at 03:29 pm
A large, suspicious transaction of 4,064 Bitcoin, approximately equal to $238 million, has been detected on the blockchain
A substantial transaction of 4,064 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $238 million, has been detected on the blockchain, sparking concern within the crypto community.
The transfer was initially flagged by Whale Alert, a blockchain tracking service, and subsequently analyzed by on-chain sleuth ZachXBT.
According to ZachXBT, the stolen Bitcoin was swiftly moved to various platforms, including ThorChain, KuCoin, ChangeNow, eXch, Avalanche Bridge, and Railgun.
The strategy employed involved breaking down the large sum into smaller, manageable amounts, which were then distributed across multiple exchanges and decentralized protocols. This tactic is commonly used by illicit actors to conceal the trail of stolen funds.
The investigation also uncovered a potential link between the stolen funds and Genesis Global Trading, a major player in the crypto-lending market.
Specifically, the theft involved two addresses that have been previously linked to Genesis Trading, with one address containing 642. ; one wallet contained 376 BTC, and the other had 2173 BTC.
In a separate development, on-chain investigator ZachXBT, who initially reported the record $238 million BTC transfer, highlighted the possible absence of Lazarus Group involvement.
Earlier, ZachXBT had attributed the theft to North Korea’s Lazarus hacking group, considering the scale and nature of the operation. However, upon further analysis, the investigator noted that the movement of the stolen funds did not fully align with Lazarus’s typicalmodus operandi.
As the investigation progresses, another angle has emerged, implicating Genesis Global Trading in the stolen funds, suggesting the involvement of an additional party in this large-scale theft. While Lazarus has been linked to several crypto hacks in the past, this particular theft does not appear to be directly attributable to the group.
blockchain security firm SlowMist also commented on the event, speculating on the connection between the stolen Bitcoin and Genesis Global Trading. The firm noted that money laundering is a complex process, typically involving multiple transactions.
