rm -rf is policy-blocked? No problem...

GPT-5.3-Codex codex is dangerously determined and creative.

@sama how do we start teaching models to meta-think:
"hmm my instructions say there is a policy against this action--there may be a larger reason. I don't know the context so I will ask the user."

Models should consider "spirit" behind defined rules and SOPs/Skills in their environments -- built into their harnesses.

@Mr_Lightspeed @TheDarkShib DM me here to TG. Happy to provide dataset to see if there are any overlapping addresses!

@eth_rick @zachxbt @zachxbt is the GOAT and a huge inspiration. I hope to keep learning from him!

Shibarium Bridge hacker foolishly chose not to accept the K9 bounty - it’s finally time to share the investigation we’ve been working on…🔎 this is juicy 🤤

The hacker made one stupid mistake and it completely unravelled their Tornado Cash laundering. 💰🌪️💵

That one mistake let me link:
🔗 The original hack wallets
🔗 Tornado withdrawal wallets
🔗 And dozens of KuCoin deposit accounts, likely used by money mules

👮🚨🚓

When I first noticed this transfer I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Jackpot! 🎰

I spent days tracing the blockchain:
• 1000’s of transactions; 293 of interest
• 111 wallets
• 260 ETH laundered through Tornado Cash
• 232.49 ETH ending up in KuCoin
• 48 KuCoin deposits; 45 unique deposit addresses

The entire obfuscation strategy fell apart because a hacker-linked wallet accidentally sent 0.0874 ETH to a “secret” withdrawal wallet that was supposed to be clean - completely destroying their privacy.

Using MetaSleuth, I mapped the money flow:
Original hacker wallet → “dumping” wallets → Tornado Cash → a web of post-mixer wallets → KuCoin deposit addresses.

We quietly shared this with the @ShibariumNet team first so they could work with law enforcement before going public, in case any funds were still frozen or recoverable at KuCoin, but now the time has finally come where we can share this work publicly.

@0xdefiturtle also tried working with @kucoincom fraud department but they told us they needed a law-enforcement case number before acting, despite having everything mapped and all the evidence handed to them on a silver platter. So now I’m publishing the on-chain evidence and methodology for the community, and for any victims who want to file their own reports.

In this thread I’ll walk you through the full explanation of this analysis, step by step. Be sure to open up the @MetaSleuth dashboard (linked below) to see the graph of all the key addresses and transactions that I uncovered.

[Shima 島。 @MRShimamoto]

It's an amazing tool! 💛

One feature request is to be able to vertically drag edges. With a huge graph like this I would occasionally get a transaction edge that wanted to take a really weird long path around many other nodes. It took ages of adjusting node positions to get everything (mostly) laid out cleanly.

Even with that minor frustration, this tool is invaluable and I'll be incorporating it into many future projects!!

[Shima 島。 @MRShimamoto]

@raopreetam_ @QuillAudits_AI @QuillAI_Network Followed for this!

[Shima 島。 @MRShimamoto]

@CameronFoxly This is beautiful

@rinshibarmy ありがとうございます🫡
励みになります！

[Shima 島。 @MRShimamoto]

Buzz just gave me a quick overview of this. I can share an excel workbook with all the addresses from this analysis to cross reference.

Only good for 1-1 matches so if they did their typical multi-hop pattern it would be a lot more work to uncover, but worth a quick initial check - especially given all the sloppy address reuse I saw in this analysis

[Shima 島。 @MRShimamoto]

@ShibariumNet Let me know if you need any more help! I'm happy to jump on a call with LE to walk them through things!

[Shima 島。 @MRShimamoto]

@thecryptobasic Thank you for helping spread the word! We need @kucoincom to step up and do more to address the blatant use of their platform for money laundering! Even without a law enforcement case number they should be taking action on this information!

[Shima 島。 @MRShimamoto]

@TheDarkShib @Mr_Lightspeed Thanks 🙏

[Shima 島。 @MRShimamoto]

@Mr_Lightspeed @TheDarkShib Ty sir 🫡

[Shima 島。 @MRShimamoto]

@Mazrael_shib @ShibariumNet @kucoincom 🧐🤔

[Shima 島。 @MRShimamoto]

🚨Call to action for victims & law enforcement🚨

We already shared this mapping with the @ShibariumNet team. We also attempted to work with @kucoincom, but they been stonewalling us thus far.

If you lost funds in the Shibarium bridge hack and want to pursue this:
• You can file your own report in your home country
• I am willing to share the full @MetaSleuth graph, address list, and methodology with investigators
• I’m also willing to meet virtually with law enforcement to walk them through the flows, and help prove your prior bridge deposits

Useful reporting portals:

• 🇺🇸 USA: FBI (@FBI) Internet Crime Complaint Center – https://t.co/oHwJ83Rq2c
•🌐 International: Interpol (@INTERPOL_HQ) – https://t.co/pY6XY7nI6Q
• 🇬🇧 UK: Action Fraud (@actionfrauduk) – https://t.co/iXVUGRQ38p
• 🇨🇦 Canada: RCMP (@rcmpgrcpolice) – https://t.co/c0R3l7W5JT
• 🇪🇺 EU: Check your national cybercrime / police reporting portal

If you’re a victim or an investigator and have any questions or want the full dataset, reply here or DM me.

This research was exhausting but fun. I doubt the real hacker will face justice (until karma steps in) but hopefully a little justice might be served to the money mules facilitating these awful crimes.

I've learned the tools and been inspired by amazing previous work from other blockchain researchers. Thank you!

👀When you zoom out, you can see the full Tornado → intermediaries → KuCoin laundering web:

• Tornado Cash addresses in red 🌪️
• Intermediary + funnel wallets 🕸️
• KuCoin deposit addresses in green 💰

I ended up with 45 unique KuCoin ETH deposit addresses likely used as endpoints for these laundered funds.

It’s unlikely the hackers themselves KYC’d at KuCoin. Much more likely: these are money mules cashing out stolen crypto to fiat for a cut. 💵🫏

If any of them are in North America or Europe... I would be nervous about a knock on the door form the FBI or Interpol... 👮🚨🚓
