A government-controlled wallet that had previously been drained of $20 million in a suspected theft has received most of its funds back. Blockchain analysts flagged suspicious transactions, and a pseudonymous blockchain sleuth noted that the transfers resembled the tactics of a bad actor. While about $19.3 million in funds, including Ethereum and USDC, had been returned to the wallet, approximately $1.2 million is still missing. The wallet's original funds were initially seized by the U.S. Department of Justice two years ago in connection to the Bitfinex hack in 2016.
