On-chain investigator ZachXBT reports that Chinese laundering groups moving the $387M Bitget exploit funds are openly requesting help with orders in public Discord servers and Telegram channels. One individual, "Alias 4," was previously seen laundering funds from the Kelp DAO $292M exploit. The author says the same pattern has appeared after multiple TraderTraitor-attributed exploits and that more data will be shared in coming weeks. Currently, funds are chain-hopped via bridges and deposited into mixing services such as Wasabi. Five aliases with associated Discord or Telegram handles and transaction hashes were published; the research was done pro bono.
