Long-Dormant Wallets Tied to $2B PlusToken China Ponzi Moves 2.8K Ether
Briefly

"Hundreds of wallets" tied to funds seized from the $4.2 billion PlusToken Ponzi scheme started moving thousands of ether (ETH) on Wednesday, creating chatter about more looming sell pressure among crypto market participants on X.
On-chain data shows over 2,800 ETH from various wallets linked to the seized wallet were today placed in a single wallet "0xf46847fa42fd9dd52737f3d25b8659cceba80eeb."
"Hundreds of wallets that have been dormant for 3.3 years are moving large amounts of $ETH, possibly 789,533 $ETH($2B)," on-chain tracking firm LookonChain said in an X post. "We found that these funds came from the wallet "Plus Token Ponzi 2."
In November 2020, Chinese authorities seized almost $4 billion worth of various tokens, including ETH, bitcoin (BTC), dogecoin (DOGE), xrp (XRP), among others, from operators of the PlusToken Ponzi scheme, months after its 27 alleged masterminds were arrested.
