Today, ZachXBT revealed that he, along with a team of collaborators, managed to freeze a portion of the Bitcoin stolen in a recent theft amounting to $330 million. While pointing out two potential suspects, the investigation is ongoing and has uncovered some peculiarities in the case. The target was an elderly individual with substantial assets acquired through unclear means, which ZachXBT has chosen not to delve into.

Renowned in the crypto industry for his investigative skills, ZachXBT made swift progress on the case following the theft on April 28. Despite freezing $7 million of the stolen funds with the help of volunteer investigators and security teams, a significant sum of over $300 million remains unaccounted for.

The suspects identified by ZachXBT in the heist are 'Nina/Mo,' a Somalian running a call scam center in the UK, and an accomplice known as 'W0rk.' Following the theft, the culprits resorted to laundering the stolen funds using Monero, which caused a fluctuation in the asset's price due to increased trade volume.

The victim, an elderly individual based in the United States, fell prey to social engineering tactics that nullified various security measures. ZachXBT highlighted that the stolen $330 million had questionable origins, hinting at a tangled web of sources that might never be fully disclosed.

Though ZachXBT did not elaborate on the roles of the theft investigators, the involvement of Binance's security team stood out. He suggested that the victim's personal information may have been obtained through private data leaks, a method that was also employed by different attackers targeting Binance users in a separate incident.

With more details expected to surface, the hope is that a better understanding of the incident will emerge, potentially paving the way for enhanced preventive measures. The loss of over $300 million by an elderly whale in a single theft remains a rare and tragic event in the cryptocurrency industry.
