Crypto Hackers Capitalize on ETH Surge, Offloading $72M This Week

Crypto bandits just pulled off a heist worthy of Wall Street—except with fewer suits and more anonymous wallets. As Ethereum's price rockets, hackers are cashing out hard.


The Great ETH Fire Sale

While retail investors FOMO into the rally, cybercriminals are quietly executing the ultimate exit strategy. $72 million vanished faster than a Bitcoin maximalist's patience for 'altseason.'


Blockchain's Dark Arbitrage

These aren't your grandma's Ponzi schemers. Today's crypto thieves operate with hedge-fund efficiency—timing their liquidations to exploit bullish sentiment. Who needs insider trading when you've got stolen assets and a bull market?

The irony? This dump probably barely dented ETH's chart. Nothing fuels crypto like a mix of crime, hype, and institutional denial. Just ask the SEC—if they can find their cold wallet keys.
