On-chain investigative, ZachXBT, dealt with false information on a Twitter string pertaining to spoofed purchases, lost blame, and also incorrect recognition by exchanges.
On Nov. 20, on-chain investigative ZachXBT laid out a Twitter string to expose the 3 most frequently misconstrued problems bordering the FTX situation.
The 3 locations ZachXBT laid out to cover were:
- Bahamian authorities lagging the FTX hack

- The FTX cyberpunk trading meme coins.
1/ I have seen a ton of misinformation being spread on Twitter and in the news about the FTX event so let me debunk the three most common things I’ve seen
“Bahamian officials are behind the FTX hack”
“Exchanges know who the hacker is”
“FTX hacker is trading meme coins” pic.twitter.com/IAtHnpJI44— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) November 20, 2022
ZachXBT started by affirming that the ‘‘ 0x59′ purse was a blackhat address and also not connected with either the FTX group or Bahamian authorities.
The cyberpunk made use of really high slippage in professions when marketing symbols for Ethereum (ETH), DAI, and also BNB and also was after that connected to stay clear of the properties being iced up on Nov. 12. This erratic actions was kept in mind to be “really various” from various other addresses that took out from FTX by ZachXBT.
3/ The fact 0x59 was dumping tokens and bridging sporadically was very different behavior from the other addresses who withdrew from FTX and instead sent to a multisig on chains like Eth or Tron. https://t.co/WE3Zyax2ub

ZachXBT mentioned dubious on-chain activity adhering to a deal of 3168 BNB from 0x59 to 0x24, after that to Huobi – – 0x24, having actually made use of possibly troubled solutions like Laslobit.
ZachXBT described that this actions was completely various from the info given pertaining to the Borrowers relocating properties to cold store or the Bahamian federal government relocating properties to the electronic property safekeeping system, Fireblocks.

Following, ZachXBT highlighted possible false information bordering exchanges knowing the cyberpunk’s identification.
In feedback to the “we understand the identification of the individual” insurance claim from Sea serpent’s staff member, Nick Percoco, ZachXBT described that it was most likely the “FTX healing side and also not the opponent.” In addition, ZachXBT insisted in his string that it was the FTX team protecting properties to a multi-signature purse on Tron — — utilizing Sea serpent because of the FTX warm purse running out gas for purchases.

Last but not least, covering the 3rd most typical spread of misconception, Zach resolved the reports bordering the FTX cyberpunk trading meme coins.
Zach described that the transfers were being spoofed to make it feel like the FTX cyberpunk purse was trading meme coins. CryptoSlate examined the on-chain information and also can validate that the purchases show up to find from an alternating address which was moneyed via 1inch on Nov. 11.
The alternating address shows up to have consent to mint symbols such as WHATHAPPENED hence validating the beginning of the token. To much better recognize just how purchases can be spoofed on the Ethereum network, a Tool short article by Etherscan neighborhood participant, Harith Kamarul, describes the problem.
11/ Please triple check who you get your info from. Many people are using the FTX event to appear knowledgeable for engagement when in fact they have zero clue what is going on.
