PANews reported on April 30 that ZachXBT disclosed that the previously stolen funds of 3,520 BTC (about 331 million US dollars) have been cleaned through at least 6 flash exchange platforms and exchanged for XMR, causing the price of XMR to soar in a short period of time . It has now been confirmed that the incident was a social engineering scam targeting an elderly American, and the source of funds at the address involved was "quite suspicious."
