“Mt. Gox was once the largest Bitcoin exchange in the world, representing over 70% of the global Bitcoin trading volume in 2014 before collapsing in that year after being hacked for 850,000 Bitcoin worth some US$500 million at the time” –***NO not again.***
>BTC-e was shut down by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2017 for alleged money laundering after handling an estimated US$9 billion between its founding in 2011 and that time.
So this is some FBI member cashing out? Always wonder where they keep all the keys to the fortunes they’ve seized.
tldr; A wallet address linked to defunct crypto exchange BTC-e sent its largest transaction since August 2017 on Wednesday, sending a total of 10,000 BTC (US$167 million) to two unknown wallets. One of the wallets that received 3,500 BTC forwarded 300 BTC onto another wallet, which was subsequently split even further into several further wallets. The other wallet has still held onto the remainder of the funds.

Can someone ELI5 to me how they know these wallets activate? Is there someone (or some automated process) which alerts people if these old wallets suddenly have activity?
BTC-e was a fun exchange, they had a public chat function that you could shitpost in and it was quite active. Such good memories. I never traded there, but hung around the chat on the daily.
Brace yourselves. “Dormant wallet with 10k BTC wakes up” posts incoming
