The Coinbase executive says he is “speculating on straws,” but if it is true, it would be “by far the largest heist in human history.”
Coinbase’s head of product, Conor Grogan, drops a bombshell: that $8.6B Bitcoin move might not be just a whale waking up. Could be the biggest digital heist ever. Plot twist much?
Grogan’s not saying it’s aliens, but... he’s hinting at hacked keys. And if he’s right? History books, meet your new chapter.
Suspicious BCH transaction has Grogan scratching his head
A single Bitcoin Cash transaction before the mega BTC move? Odd. Grogan’s like, ‘Why not sweep the rest?’ Suspicion level: 100.
“What makes me say this is the other BCH wallets have not been touched at all; why wouldn’t they also sweep these?”
Arkham Intel confirms: one entity moved $8.6B BTC from wallets untouched since 2011. That’s some serious diamond hands—or a master thief.
$8.6 billion Bitcoin is now sitting in eight new wallets
All that loot? Parked in fresh wallets. No moves since. BTC price? Chilling like nothing happened. Crypto market’s unshakable or just oblivious?
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s vibing at $108K. Either the market’s got nerves of steel, or it’s blissfully unaware of the potential chaos.
