Sam Bankman-Fried, or someone with access to his wallets, allegedly transferred millions in previously unreported funds.
The transakcije in question span across the Avalanche, BSC, Arbitrum, and Polygon blockchains, according to a Twitter post by Conor Grogan, a director at Coinbase.
Suspicious activity on SBF addresses
Based on Grogan’s post, there was also recent activity in early January 2023 where he found a receiving wallet with $30 million or more in tokens. Grodan examined each address linked to SBF and checked other blockchains as well.
The private keys for ethereum work across different EVM chains. Grogan navodno discovered 12 wallets, which moved around $144,000 worth of assets to different platforms, such as Binance. Allegedly, $26,000 in MDX was transferred on Jan.2.
After going through the wallets, he also came across additional linked Dec.28 transactions that didn’t appear in the media coverage.
One of the wallets received funds from Arbitrum, which he found particularly interesting. On Nov.13, it was seeded 1266 ETH, two days after FTX filed for bankruptcy. It has millions in its accounts and is mostly distributed across chains like FTM and BSC.
Grogan added that the FTX stečaj could benefit the public by making it clear which wallets are currently under the authority of law enforcement.
SBF se izjasnio da nije kriv
On Dec.30, SBF rekao svetu that none of the transactions was made by him. “I’m not and couldn’t be moving any of those funds; I don’t have access to them anymore,” he said.
After SBF was apprehended in the Bahamas, he was sent back to the US to face the charges.
Later, SBF izjasnio se da nije kriv to the criminal charges he faces, including money laundering and wire fraud. Notably, the US Department of Justice is still investigating the exploitation of $352 million in FTX funds.
