Analysis: The US government may have been behind the LuBian mining pool theft, which, if true, would be the largest financial hack in history.
Chain sleuth ZachXBT posted on the X platform that documents released yesterday by the US government show that the wallet addresses listed in the $14 billion (127,000 BTC) seized by the US government were previously named in the MilkySad report about two years ago, with their private keys being vulnerable. The US government now claims to have custody of these wallet addresses. In response, Arkham analyst Emmett Gallic, after research, stated, "It appears increasingly likely that the US government orchestrated the theft of the LuBian mining pool. If true, the US government would be responsible for the largest financial hack in history." While there is no definitive evidence to confirm this, Gallic believes the future behavior of the "LuBian hacker" addresses marked on Arkham will be sufficient to provide a basis for this conclusion.
