30 cryptocurrency wallets linked to Alameda Research, the bankrupt sister company of crypto exchange FTX, became active on Dec. 28 following four weeks of inactivity. These wallets swapped and mixed over $1.7 million worth of crypto assets through various crypto-mixing services.
Crypto mixers are often used by market exploiters and criminals to obscure the transaction path so that the funds cannot be traced to the original source.
In total, $1.7 million worth of funds were swapped and sent through various mixing services as follows:
- 270.5 ETH through ChangeNOW (~$325k)
- 800,000 USDT through Fixedfloat
- 200,000 USDT through Curve SynthSwap (to native BTC)
- 200,000 USDT through Airswap
- 200,000 USDT through other crypto-mixing services
