Yesterday a dormant Bitcoin address transferred funds for the first time after 7 years and it turns out it probably belongs to the Mt. Gox hackers. 2,720 BTC equal to 126,010,161 USD were transferred out of the wallet. The funds have a direct connection to the old cold/hot wallets of the Japan based exchange Mt. Gox that was hacked several years ago.The Whale Alert detected the wallet.Here is the TXID: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/d2d5f92d23567292a6ec40a911b2dbe9b326abeb4909a5e351a83c36cd580a65The hacker wallet movements on the blockchain.https://ift.tt/3Em3rJJ of the funds will probably never be sold since large amounts require KYC nowadays at exchanges and the funds can be tracked/linked directly to the hack, which makes them "dirty coins". The sudden movement after 7 years seems odd, it could be due to prison time, cold storage re-organising or a lost wallet found again. Here you can check the wallet movements from Mt. Gox to the hackers on the blockchain yourself: https://ift.tt/3llnxuQ
