According to PANews, Lick has been implicated in a major cryptocurrency theft scheme centered around the unlawful diversion of over $90 million from a seized U.S. government address. The investigation also encompasses multiple victims who fell prey to theft incidents between November and December 2025. Blockchain monitoring reveals that Lick has begun routing the stolen funds into Tornado Cash, a privacy-focused mixer, with approximately 11,037 ETH successfully funneled through the service to date. The use of mixing protocols highlights an apparent attempt to obfuscate the transaction trail and complicate recovery efforts.
