Bitget hacker's $700K in funds stuck after chain mix-up

  • —AMLBot: about $700,000 tied to the Bitget attacker is stuck in cross-chain transfers
  • —$267,000 in USDC went through a wrong-chain Chainflip deposit route; the address was blacklisted by Circle
  • —160 ETH worth $430,000 was bridged to Arbitrum and sent via a route that exists only on Ethereum
  • —AMLBot says both transactions may have been executed by an automated script
Why it matters: Hackers' cross-chain mistakes give exchanges and Circle more chances to freeze stolen funds after the Bitget breach.
