On November 23rd, a crypto wallet belonging to the defunct crypto exchange BTC-e transferred 10,000 Bitcoin to various exchanges, personal wallets, and other sources. For those who may not know, BTC-e was reportedly involved in the theft of Mt. Gox Bitcoin and user funds.
According to a Chainalysis report, although this is the biggest withdrawal made by BTC-e since April 2018, BTC-e and WEX both sent small quantities of Bitcoin to Russian electronic payments service Webmoney on October 26th. This was also done prior to making a test payment on November 11th, shortly after which a further 100 Bitcoin was transferred on November 21st.
Of the full sum sent, it is believed that 9,950 BTC are still in personal wallets, while the rest was routed through intermediaries before arriving at four deposit addresses in two major exchanges.
