Strange movements in Alameda wallets raised some concerns in the crypto community

Multiple wallets from the now-bankrupt trading firm Alameda Research, the sister company of FTX, were strangely active in the final days of December 2022, after having been completely inactive for 4 weeks.

Just days after FTX founder Sam Bankman Fried was released on a 250 million USD bail, behavior coming from some Alameda wallets started to raise some concerns and curiosity among the community. Specifically, some tokens were swapped for $ETH, $USDT and $BTC, for a total value of 1.7 million USD.

Whoever was responsible for the transactions seemed to have had a master plan to hide the real address of the receiver. As data journalist, Martin Lee wrote in a tweet, “Transactions seem odd to me.” The sentiment was echoed by many other crypto enthusiasts.

The United States Department of Justice is investigating an alleged cybercrime committed against FTX right after the company filed for bankruptcy on November 11th. The hack was understood to be worth around 370 million USD.

The FTX saga continues to be one to watch as new developments in the story keep coming. This latest episode, though, is certainly one to have made the crypto community worry.
