Crypto heist meets DeFi sleight-of-hand—another day ending in ''y'' for blockchain security.
The Wash Cycle: A hacker exploited Bittrue, funneling a cool $30 million through Tornado Cash''s privacy blender. The kicker? They turned a $9.3 million profit flipping Ether mid-chaos—because why just steal when you can trade on the victim''s dime?
Money Moves: While exchanges beef up KYC rules, mixers keep cashing checks. The hacker''s Ether trades outperformed most hedge funds this quarter—ironic, given the ''unregulated casino'' rhetoric from suits in London and Wall Street.
Another protocol drained, another anonymizing tool abused. The crypto underworld''s innovation never sleeps—neither do its victims'' empty wallets.
