BlockBeats News, October 15th, according to on-chain detective ZachXBT’s analysis, the document released by the U.S. government yesterday shows that the wallet addresses listed among the seized $14 billion (127,000 BTC) were previously mentioned in the Milky Sad report about 2 years ago, which stated that their private keys were vulnerable to attacks. Now the U.S. government claims they have custody of these wallet addresses.
In response, Arkham analyst Emmett Gallic, after conducting research, stated, “Currently, it appears increasingly likely that the U.S. government is behind the theft of the LuBian mining pool. If true, the U.S. government would be responsible for the largest financial hack in history.” While there is not yet solid evidence to confirm this, Emmett Gallic believes that the future actions of the “LuBian hacker” address flagged on Arkham will be sufficient evidence.
In previous news, LuBian, once ranked among the top ten mining pools globally, suffered a major security incident in December 2020, where a total of 127,426 BTC was stolen, making it the largest Bitcoin theft in history. The 127,000 BTC confiscated by the U.S. government yesterday is derived from this fund.
