ZachXBT says $330 million bitcoin theft victim is an 'elderly' person in US Onchain investigator ZachXBT said on Wednesday that the victim of an alleged theft of $330 million worth of bitcoin is an "elderly" person in the U.S. who fell victim to a "social engineering theft." The online sleuth first reported on Sunday that a "suspicious" transfer of around 3,520 BTC -1.00% (worth roughly $330 million at the time) was made from the victim's wallet to another address before the stolen funds were then laundered through more than six exchanges and converted to Monero. The move triggered a 50% spike in XMR +1.75% 's price due to the size of swaps and thin liquidity on the platforms, The Block's Timmy Shen previously reported.
