Image: Crypto.newsStolen funds from the recent Bitget security breach have entered a Wasabi CoinJoin transaction. Compliance firm AMLBot traced roughly 4 BTC into the privacy mixer after the assets moved across multiple blockchains. The path started from a Bitget TRON wallet before converting through Ethereum and THORChain. Meanwhile, Bitget raised its confirmed loss estimate to approximately $387.5 million. AMLBot reported that about $343 million remained dormant across thirteen attacker-controlled wallets.
Key points
- AMLBot traced roughly 4 BTC linked to the Bitget breach into a Wasabi CoinJoin round.
- The stolen funds moved from TRON through USDT and Ethereum before reaching Bitcoin.
Why it matters
