A $255 BILLION blockchain exists today because a video game company deleted a spell and made a teenager cry.
In 2010 a 16-year-old named Vitalik Buterin logged into World of Warcraft and discovered his favourite Warlock ability had been quietly removed by the developers.
He wrote about it years later.
His exact words were โI cried myself to sleep, and on that day I realized what horrors centralized services can bring."
He quit the game and never went back.
A year later his dad showed him Bitcoin but he could not afford to buy any and could not mine it either.
So he started writing articles about crypto for a blog.
Payment was 5 $BTC per article, at the time that was $3.50.
Each of those 5 $BTC is worth about $385,000 today.
He co-founded Bitcoin Magazine at 17 and applied for a job at Ripple at 18.
They accepted him but could not sponsor his visa.
At 19 he proposed major improvements to Bitcoin. The community said no.
So he wrote his own whitepaper instead. Called it Ethereum. Thirty developers reached out within weeks.
He dropped out of university and received a $100,000 Thiel Fellowship. Sold $ETH at $0.31 in the ICO and raised $18 MILLION.
One person spent $310,000 on 1 million $ETH in that sale. At $ETH's peak, those coins were worth $4.8 BILLION.
Another person invested $263 and received 850 $ETH now worth over $1.7 MILLION.
Ethereum launched when Vitalik was 21. It is now worth about $255 billion.
A game developer removed one spell from one character class that made a teenager cry and then built the second-largest blockchain in history.
Roaring Kitty's X account was hacked yesterday
The hackers shared a CA, posted multiple tweets and it sent the coin to over $10M MCAP
Once the heist was successful, they began moving the funds and this is how they did it:
The hacker operated with these 10 wallets:
Ek6SAEMuQgS6whJnzbLjyNaovy9qYqkuoapXAsxeN3q9
BgqQ2NRiKqNCUnUyYd2q4ttzKy5P4sneLdcJQh7mZGHJ
BGYDRS1JHVqCXjTGNQ79QYQs8YxSg1RPicQfpZcNdkSC
AvqQzqFMNvwfsjHashzWW6LvnCbkjRearKCi1KegU7Ed
CsZGEixjcanJ47QY5sX4s6fRkrxNMDSUZfJqTURbGkWS
AjTSCKDiowibfyKdRyyLB1nrGnrAMSFvXHnZzTyv8rNP
GEetNkwTCXTeChGjxfkGoZUHWkYBmBJhRKcQF7Fe7LDa
CgCm3rS1NMhzdnao1MF239HTZpBNCqvRJdQHvmjbKbYG
GQ4S8mpiJoVUZD4AjLTu82Vjn6PjcnDBRpmCjDEYFgkL (dev wallet)
5YB7jsBZUV9uxt21yEgZyefLevrZ7KAYFaVKKuk88QoZ
The first path runs through Ek6S, which made 958 SOL in profits on $RKC and then received funds from the following wallets: 435 SOL from AjTS, 595 SOL from CsZG, 718 SOL from BGYD, 573 SOL from AvqQ, 488 SOL from a HTX hot wallet and another 289 SOL from GQ4S
By the time the consolidation finished, Ek6S was holding 4,059 SOL
Ek6S sent out everything in two transactions, 3,769.5 SOL and 289.6 SOL to C7Ce
C7Ce then split the funds in half, sending 2,030 SOL to DSCw and sitting on the other 2,030 SOL
DSCw didn't hold for long either
It topped its balance up with SOL from another address and pushed 2,050 SOL to 2t79, which is where the laundering trail really starts
2t79 swapped its entire balance for USDC (2,050 SOL to $199k USDC) and used Mayan Bridge to send the $199k across to 0x9B on Arbitrum
From Arbitrum, the same address bridged to Hyper EVM using Hyper Bridge, with the $199k landing on Hyper EVM at the same 0x9B address
On Hyper EVM, the USDC was swapped into XMR and the Monero was then forwarded to 0x23, where 475 XMR ($198k) currently sits
Off to the side, the dev wallet GQ4S ran its own smaller cash out, 500 SOL sent to FuE7, with another 420 SOL kept back in WSOL
FuE7 converted the 500 SOL into $48k USDC and moved it straight to Gxjc, an instant exchange hot wallet, at which point it's effectively untraceable
The second path runs through GEet, which made 118 SOL in profits off $RKC and received 102 SOL from CgCm and 871 SOL from BgqQ
Rather than swap or bridge, GEet split the funds in two, 654.6 SOL to E3dw and 437.3 SOL to 2FYL
E3dw later forwarded the entire 654 SOL to FTpy
FTpy also received another 410 SOL from T9UD, bringing the wallet's total inflow to over 1,065 SOL
FTpy then bridged the full 1,065 SOL to Ethereum using Relay Bridge, with the funds landing as 43.7 ETH in wallet 0x42
From there, 0x42 sent 43.7 ETH back to Solana through Relay Bridge, where the funds landed as 1,045 SOL in wallet 7dkg, where the balance still currently sits
0x42 also split the remaining balance into two separate Tron wallets using Relay Bridge, with both wallets receiving roughly 595 USDT each:
TGX2
TK5Z
TGX2 has already made two deposits into RedotPay, a KYC crypto card provider, creating a potential identity trail for investigators
The wallet T9UD originally received its 410 SOL from 5YB7, which itself made 623 SOL in profits from $RKC
5YB7 then began splitting off smaller laundering routes
The first transfer was 87 SOL sent to 347y
347y converted the funds into 8.5k USDC and bridged to Arbitrum through Mayan Finance, landing at 0x95
0x95 then bridged the funds again to Hyper EVM using the Hyperliquid bridge
Once on Hyper EVM, the full balance was swapped into XMR, converting 8.5k USDC into 20.27 XMR
The XMR was finally forwarded to 0xa6, where it currently sits
Another 75 SOL was sent from 5YB7 to ZcFA
ZcFA converted the funds into 7.2k USDC before bridging to Arbitrum through Mayan Finance, landing at 0xA0
0xA0 then bridged the funds to Hyper EVM through Hyperliquid Bridge
Once on Hyper EVM, the wallet converted the entire balance into 17.35 XMR before forwarding it to 0x03, where it currently sits
A final 50 SOL was sent from 5YB7 to 5nXY
5nXY converted the funds into 4.8k USDC and bridged to Arbitrum using Mayan Finance, landing at 0x1b
0x1b later bridged the funds to Hyper EVM using Hyperliquid Bridge
The full balance was converted into 11.59 XMR and forwarded to 0x38, where it currently sits
At this point, large portions of the stolen funds have already been laundered through cross chain bridges, instant exchanges and Monero conversions
However, several wallets across Solana, Tron and Hyper EVM still hold funds directly connected to the exploit
Whoever this was, he knew what he was doing real good
1/ Meet Dritan Kapllani Jr, a US based threat actor tied to $19M from social engineering thefts targeting crypto holders.
Dritan flexes luxury cars, watches, private jets, & clubs all over social media.
Recently he was recorded on a call showing off a wallet with stolen funds.
The easiest $2k you could make this week?!
