PANews reported on July 26 that Ki Young Ju, the founder and CEO of the on-chain analysis platform CryptoQuant, stated on X platform that after tracking the recent transfer of 80,000 BTC that had been dormant for 14 years, it was found that these Bitcoins may have originally come from MyBitcoin's wallet held by an accomplice, which had been idle since April 2011, until MyBitcoin was attacked by a hacker that same year (it is reported that in August 2011, MyBitcoin suffered a Bitcoin theft incident and subsequently declared bankruptcy). These wallets likely belong to the hacker who attacked the platform, or they may belong to Tom Williams, the anonymous founder of MyBitcoin. It appears that Galaxy Digital has purchased these Bitcoins, but it is unclear whether they have conducted any forensic work.
