According to the Arkham Intelligence agency, on February 28, 1 BTC was withdrawn from one of the addresses to an unspecified wallet, and a little later, 2,817 bitcoins worth $172.74 million were withdrawn from another address to an unknown address. First, 0.01 BTC was withdrawn from the wallet as a test transaction, then 12267 BTC worth $748.46 million. The total value of BTC transferred to both wallets was approximately $922 million.
The publication apparently suggests that the Department of Justice plans to sell these bitcoins. It is known that this money was stolen from the Bitfinex crypto exchange, which was previously hacked by hackers.
