🚨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 – ic3.gov •🌐 International: Interpol (@INTERPOL_HQ) – interpol.int/How-we-work/Sup… • 🇬🇧 UK: Action Fraud (@actionfrauduk) – actionfraud.police.uk • 🇨🇦 Canada: RCMP (@rcmpgrcpolice) – rcmp.ca/en/federal-policing/… • 🇪🇺 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! @zachxbt @tayvano_ @DefiIgnas

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.
