Hello dear readers, may this post serve to share with you all one of the news that is making the rounds in the cryptocurrency world, and about how the company linked to the FTX crash (Alameda Research) has been moving its tokens and converting them into Bitcoin.
The truth is that, just days after news broke of the parole granted to Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of the collapsed FTX exchange, the Ethereum wallets of Alameda Research, its sister company, reported strong movements in and out of funds.
It should be noted, that Alameda's funds were exchanged for Bitcoin, there are four wallets associated with that company that received an average of 11.90 BTC (just over USD 800 thousand) each in the last hours, which would be coming from the previous exchanges.
If one follows the blockchain data from Etherscan, a block explorer of the Ethereum blockchain, it is possible to notice that the wallets of associated with Alameda Research had several movements of incoming and outgoing funds since Tuesday, December 27, 2022.
This is an irregular movement of funds, taking into account that Alameda Research is one of the companies that was part of the FTX crash and, moreover, is included in the bankruptcy filing of the exchange house. In addition, the bankruptcy court in charge of the case has not yet communicated anything about these transactions.
Investigation of the alleged hacking of FTX, the movement of funds reported on Wednesday comes as the U.S. Department of Justice announced a criminal investigation to determine what happened with the alleged hacking of FTX.
