Matt Levine covered this in yesterday’s Money Stuff, it’s pretty interesting how parts of the ecosystem froze things and seemingly managed to stop them laundering their money.
Also it does look like they really did try to launder it:
> Tether froze more than $30 million in response to the hack, Tether Chief Technology Officer Paul Adroino tweeted.
> About an hour following Poly Network’s announcement of the hack, the perpetrator attempted to move stolen assets through the Ethereum address into Curve.fi, but the transaction was blocked. The hackers continued trying for about 20-30 minutes before an anonymous user sent the hackers a message on the blockchain that USD Tether had been blocked.
> The user told the hackers to try depositing the stolen tokens without Tether, which the hackers did successfully and they deposited all the addresses into Curve. The hackers then sent the anonymous user about $45,000 worth of ethereum for their help.
