Close to four years later, the Quadrigacx mystery is still unsolved, and on Monday, Dec.19, 2022, the Twitter user Zachxbt explained he discovered 104 bitcoin (BTC) move from five different Quadrigacx-flagged cold wallets.The 104 BTC is worth $1.75 million using today’s exchange rates and Zachxbt believes around 69 BTC was sent to Wasabi, a bitcoin mixing wallet service.
In addition to Zachxbt’s discovery, EY addressed the bitcoin movements the following day on Dec.20, 2022, in a “notice to affected users” that highlights the “unauthorized transfer of Quadriga bitcoin.” EY insists that the transfers were not authorized by the accountancy firm and it noted that the company and representative counsel “have become aware of an unauthorized movement of bitcoin.”
While Zachxbt’s tweet mentions five addresses, the EY update includes a total of six bitcoin wallets (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
EY says that on several occasions it has been documented by the CCAA proceedings that these specific funds were inaccessible.“Quadriga inadvertently transferred certain cryptocurrency into cold wallets that the applicants were unable to access,” EY’s update details.
Onchain data shows the bitcoin addresses “1J9Fq” and “1Mhgm” connected following the first transactions before moving to the bitcoin wallet “1GVsp.” Furthermore, while Zachxbt detailed that it appeared “1HyYM & 1JPtxS were sent to Wasabi” five days ago, onchain data shows the two addresses connected, and 33.12 BTC was sent to “bc1q0.” An onchain perspective of the movements between the bitcoin addresses 1HyYM, 1JPtxS, and bc1q0.
At the time of writing, at 11:00 a.m.(ET) on Dec.21, 2022, the bitcoin address bc1q0 still holds 33.12 BTC worth just over $500K.
The 33.12 BTC or just over $500K worth of bitcoin using today’s exchange rate has remained idle in the address since Dec.17.Interestingly, the single transaction of 33.12 BTC sent to bc1q0 came from 164 different senders.Several matched bitcoin addresses were identified in the onchain movements between 1HyYM, 1JPtxS, and bc1q0.
