FTX hacker transferred 50,000 ETH over the weekend and swapped it to renBTC, only to launder the amount later using a technique called peel chain.
Crypto analytic group CertiK later tracked the bridged renBTC on bc1qvd…gpedg address and found that the address employed a money laundering technique called peel chain to launder the renBTC.
A Peel chain is a technique to launder a large amount of cryptocurrency through a lengthy series of minor transactions. A small portion is ‘peeled’ from the subject’s address in a low-value transfer. These incremental laundered funds are often transferred to exchanges where they can be converted to fiat currency or other crypto assets.
Did you see this? Bahamian SEC claims to have "transfer all digital assets" to a digital wallet that they, not FTX, controls. If FTX is the white hat, then isn't the Bahamian govt the black hat?
