ZachXBT started by alleging that the ‘0x59’ wallet was a blackhat address and not affiliated with either the FTX group or Bahamian officials.The hacker utilized
really high slippage in trades when selling tokens for Ethereum(ETH ), DAI, and BNB and was then bridged to avoid the properties being frozen on Nov. 12. This sporadic behavior was noted to be”very various “from other addresses that withdrew from FTX by ZachXBT.3/ The reality 0x59 was disposing tokens and bridging sporadically was extremely different behavior from the other addresses who withdrew from FTX and rather sent to a multisig on chains like Eth or Tron. https://t.co/WE3Zyax2ub!.?.!— ZachXBT (@zachxbt)November 20, 2022 ZachXBT pointed out suspicious on-chain movement following a deal of 3168 BNB from 0x59 to 0x24, then to Huobi– 0x24, having actually utilized potentially insecure services like Laslobit.ZachXBT discussed that this behavior was entirely various from the info offered concerning the Debtors moving
possessions to freezer or the Bahamian federal government moving properties to the digital asset custody platform, Fireblocks.5/ This behavior totally differs what was stated about the Debtors moving assets to cold storage or Bahamian government moving properties to Fireblocks. pic.twitter.com/wMekRhzOPR!.?.!— ZachXBT( @zachxbt)November 20, 2022 Next, ZachXBT highlighted potential misinformation surrounding exchanges being aware of the hacker’s identity.In response to the” we understand the identity of the user”claim from Kraken’s employee, Nick Percoco, ZachXBT described that it was most likely the “FTX healing side and not the assaulter.”Furthermore, ZachXBT asserted in his thread that it was the FTX group securing properties to a multi-signature wallet on Tron– utilizing Kraken due to the FTX hot wallet running out gas for deals.8/ This matched the behavior for 0x97 multisig which had
also been funded by means of a CEX too. pic.twitter.com/J2uHIpe7Oj!.?.!— ZachXBT (@zachxbt)November 20, 2022 Lastly, covering the third most typical spread of misconception, Zach dealt with the rumors surrounding the FTX hacker trading meme coins.Zach discussed that the transfers were being spoofed to make it look like the FTX hacker wallet was trading meme coins.

how deals can be spoofed on the Ethereum network, a Medium article by Etherscan neighborhood member, Harith Kamarul, discusses
the concern.11/ Please triple check who you get your details from.
