FTX has two problems at hand: a liquidity collapse and a computer attack, according to information provided by the platform on Saturday. It is now known that the “hacker” is indeed one of the largest owners of the Ethereum market.
And the company stated, on Saturday, via Telegram, that about $ 600 million had left the platform, through a criminal hand.
And the “hacker” turned to the “exchange” Kraken to transfer part of the funds. Meanwhile, the platform ensures that it has already contacted the authorities.
Of this amount, the hacker’s “wallet” exchanged about $49 million in stablecoins for Ethereum, filling the wallet with the equivalent of $288 million in Ethereum, thus joining the list of “whale” wallets (of massive market size), according to the data. Provided by Etherscan analysis platform.
The same entity is also aware that with this amount, this wallet becomes the 35th in the world that contains more Ethereum.
