Crypto Criminals: ETH Laundromat Open 24/7!

by

10.54M… because crime pays, apparently.

Despite all this, the exploiter still holds 10.54 million DAI. So, yeah, they’re basically the Scrooge McDuck of stolen crypto.

Laundering: The Never-Ending Sequel

This exploiter is like a bad Netflix series-just when you think it’s over, there’s another season. Tornado Cash is their go-to spa for cleaning dirty ETH, and that tiny Bitcoin bridge? Just a little cross-chain vacation for their funds.

Remember March? Good times. The exploiter swapped 5,496 ETH for 11 million DAI, probably to avoid Ether’s mood swings. Lookonchain says they made $935,000 profit. Meanwhile, their WBTC was taking an L. Now they’re reversing the strategy because why stick to one scam when you can do them all?

UXLINK’s $44M Oopsie

Let’s not forget the main event: UXLINK’s 2025 breach, where over $44 million vanished faster than my will to live on Mondays. They teamed up with exchanges and the feds to freeze some funds, but the exploiter’s still living large.

Token Inflation: The Uninvited Party

Oh, and the attacker minted 1 billion UXLINK tokens. Then another billion. Then Hacken said it was 10 trillion. But don’t worry, 9.95 trillion were traded for 16 ETH. Because why not add a little comedy to the tragedy?

UXLINK’s token price? Down 99% from its peak. And in a hilarious twist, the exploiter got phished, losing 500 billion tokens. Karma, meet crypto.

DeFi: Where Exploits Bloom Like Flowers

UXLINK’s just one flower in the DeFi exploit garden. Thetanuts Finance lost $2.1 million, Aztec Connect got drained for $2.19 million, and Raydium’s $1.34 million exploit was like, “Hey, me too!” Outdated smart contracts? More like smart disasters.

Moral of the story: If you’re not getting exploited in DeFi, are you even doing DeFi?
