The Coldcard hacker's wallet, holding $36 million in stolen bitcoin, is now a public message board.
Victims and opportunists are flooding the thief's address with pleas and laundering offers, using Bitcoin's OP_RETURN function. Confirmed losses from the exploit now top $100 million.
The blockchain's permanence cuts both ways. It records desperation and illicit offers, but it also makes stolen funds permanently traceable. Difficult to move without detection. This isn't new, but the message volume points to heightened victim frustration in a 'Fear' market.
Would you keep funds on a mid-tier exchange right now?
