What happened

Wallets linked to the $295 million April hack still held $138 million in Ether after sending another $46 million to the mixer Wednesday.

Reported details

  • Drift exploiter-linked wallets reportedly send $109 million in ETH to Tornado Cash over two days, while $138 million remains in tracked wallets after the hack.

Why this matters

Drift exploiter is a factual update rather than a structural change to tokenized assets. Its value to a desk is the sourced detail and the timing, so read it next to the linked reporting and treat any figure the sources do not state as unknown.

Evidence boundary

On Drift exploiter, the scope is limited to what the linked 2 reports state, and where they diverge both positions are recorded without either being picked in advance; the headline figure is what to check first.

What to verify

Corroborate Drift exploiter with one independent dated source, and treat any figure the linked reports do not state as unknown rather than inferred.
