Hey all,
My hot wallet was drained across Hyperliquid and EVM chains for millions on 27th Sep.
I’m in touch with the FBI, USSS, @_SEAL_Org, @trmlabs, @CFInvestigators, and major exchanges who are now all aware of the stolen assets, their locations & movements (address ending in dHjFY). All are taking the investigation seriously. All have been incredibly responsive. Thank you.
I’d be happy to pay a bounty to whitehats or anyone with onchain or IRL information that leads to the recovery of the assets. Please DM me for details 🙏.
To the attacker: if you return 80% of the funds, all law enforcement, legal and exchange action will be dropped immediately, and you can keep the remaining 20% as a legitimate whitehat bounty that can be legally offramped and spent. Return 80% here: 2evt4TTjHw6BZjnaaq3UcSnmBrqzJjJnTsWi65yYpLbT
Thanks to the @_SEAL_Org members for their first-hand response and initial guidance.

- The hacker funded the hack with 1 ETH from Tornado Cash.
- Part of the funds ($15.8M) were moved to Ethereum via a bridge.
Thanks to @zachxbt for identifying that it's CoinDCX and for the shoutout to Cyvers!

A recent cyberattack on the Central Bank of Brazil services provider C&M resulted in a breach to the reserve accounts of six financial institutions where attackers converted stolen fiat to crypto.
I began working on an initiative that has helped freeze ~$5M across multiple exchanges and blockchains.
A special thanks goes to @tether , @Binance Security Team, @Bitso, @Bybit_Official Compliance Team, & @CFInvestigators.
Collaboration within the private sector is the most effective way to combat illicit activity and push our industry forward.
