According to on-chain intelligence from leading blockchain tracking firms, a significant theft incident has been analyzed:

💰 Confirmed losses breakdown:
• Bitcoin: approximately 33 BTC (around $3M in value)
• Solana network: roughly $431
• Ethereum and Layer 2 protocols: exceeding $3M

The theft reveals a sophisticated laundering strategy. The perpetrator transferred the stolen cryptocurrency through multiple vectors—routing assets via centralized exchange platforms and leveraging cross-chain bridge protocols to obscure the fund flow. This multi-layered approach combining CEX transactions with interoperability solutions demonstrates how attackers attempt to break the transaction trail and complicate on-chain forensics.

Such incidents highlight the importance of monitoring large wallet movements and understanding how stolen funds navigate through both centralized and decentralized infrastructure. Security-conscious participants should remain vigilant about suspicious address activity and fund movements across different blockchain networks.

Another big show, millions of dollars just disappeared... These people are really dedicated, using CEX and cross-chain bridges to shuffle back and forth, just to erase traces. But to be honest, this kind of method is no longer considered new. As long as you dare to move such large amounts, you can't escape on-chain tracking eyes.

Damn, it's the same old cross-chain money laundering trick... These people are really getting more and more cunning. --- 33 Bitcoins stolen, this method looks pretty slick. --- Every day it's CEX + cross-chain bridging, why hasn't anyone completely closed this loophole yet? --- Six million dollars just gone... How much money does it take for a wallet to operate like that? --- Monitoring wallet movements is indeed important, but to be honest, who cares about the big players? --- This money laundering technique is clearly from an old hand, but unfortunately, on-chain forensics always lag behind.

Another big case is here. This technique is indeed ruthless, using CEX and cross-chain bridging together... it takes a lot of practice to get so smooth.
