ZachXBT names five middlemen laundering funds stolen from Bitget

  • —ZachXBT named five suspects tied to laundering Bitget hack funds
  • —The Bitget breach on Sept. 24 drained $387.5 million
  • —One suspect is linked to the $292 million Kelp DAO exploit
  • —About 4 BTC moved through Wasabi, USDT, 145 ETH and THORChain
Why it matters: Naming the middlemen ramps up pressure on THORChain, which refused to block hacker addresses, and could accelerate compliance tightening in DeFi.
