Colleagues, a Mt Gox wallet worth some $720 is the prime suspect in the movement of
up to $720 Bitcoin since the Japanese exchange went out of business in 2014. To
date some $100m has been transferred from this anonymous wallet to the Binance and Bitfinex exchanges. While some experts believe
this infamous wallet is linked to the Dark Web’s Silk Road
portal, most evidence points to the defunct Mt Gox exchange. Two fundamental
questions arise. First, who (or whom) controls this wallet? Second, what is
their motive? Numerous theories are floating across the global cryptosphere.
Nonetheless, given the fact that Mt Gox was founded in 2010 – the very early
days of cryptocurrencies – there is a high likelihood that the funds contained
on this wallet were (and perhaps still are) being used for drug trafficking,
payment for contraband and/or to evade trans-border trade sanctions. Our goal
is to present facts not idle speculation; however, we are confident that the
movement of these funds is due to some form of cybercrime. As such, we will add this topic to our crypto-cyber “watch list”. Share your assessment while visiting us today! Lawrence
