A cryptocurrency address marked by blockchain investigators as belonging to the ‘Cork Protocol Exploiter 2’ entity has conducted significant transactions, drawing attention within the crypto community. The identified wallet transferred 4,520 Ether (ETH), valued approximately at $11 million based on prevailing market prices, directly to the cryptocurrency mixing service Tornado Cash.
Concurrently, the same address contributed a separate transaction of 10 ETH to the ‘Free Alexey & Roman’ Juicebox campaign. This specific crowdfunding initiative explicitly states its purpose as supporting the legal defense fund for Tornado Cash developers Roman Storm and Alexey Pertsev, alongside other community advocacy efforts.
The large-volume transfer to Tornado Cash underscores the ongoing challenges associated with tracing funds linked to past exploits in the decentralized finance space. The donation to the legal defense fund highlights an instance of financial support for developers facing legal scrutiny related to their contributions to privacy-focused protocols.
