Two days later, bitcoin prices fell below the $20K per unit territory for the first time since mid-July to a new August low. During this time, two addresses created on December 19, 2013, sent $10,000 bitcoins worth $203 million to an unknown wallet after nearly nine years of neglect; Onchain data shows that the 10,000 coins moved this week originally came from a June 19, 2011 Mt Gox breach and came from the Mt Gox breach.
Whale, which once held 134,000 bitcoins from the 2011 Mt Gox hack, will use the last 10,000 this week
The 2013 Whale moved about 10,001.514 BTCon Sunday, August 28, 2022 and Monday, August 29, 2022. The funds originated from two addresses (1,& 2) created 8 years and 8 months ago on December 19, 2013.
10,001 bitcoin transactions were captured by the blockchain parserbtcparser.com. This tool often catches so-called “sleeping bitcoin” movements that have been sitting at addresses for years. Some of the Sleeping Bitcoins caught by the blockchain parser areBTCblock subsidies mined in 2011, 2010, and 2009.
2013 bitcoins were sent in two batches of 5,000BTCper transaction, sent in two batches of 5,000 BTCper transaction, then split into several smaller transactions For example, one address was sent in two batches of 5,000 BTCper transaction. For example, oneaddresswas split into multiple fractions of 47.98BTCand the “14RKF” address that sent one transfer of 200.99BTC

Onchain Data Shows 10,000 Bitcoin Moved This Week Came From the 2011 Mt Gox Breach
Bitcoin Moved This Week Came From the 2011 Mt Gox Breach
The 2013 bitcoins spent on Sunday and Monday were originally derived from a wallet1McUC once held 134,897.01 . BTCafter acquiring the coins on June 19, 2011. The entity then began movingBTC; on July 20, 2011, it began holding a stash of BTC
prior to June 19, 2011 was 134,897.01 BTCderived from various batches sent from 14 senders. On-chain analysis further shows that bitcoin, whether it be 10,000 BTCspent this week or the original 134KBTC, which would be BTC, likely belonged to a single entity.
remittances from June 2011 to the present have no trace of being exchanges, and the whale’s mega stash of 134K BTChas gradually fractionalized over 11 years, with 10,001 spent this weekIt appears to be the last of a stash derived from the original 1McUC address.
10,001 BTCis special, as this entity used tens of thousands of bitcoins in batches between July 2011 and the end of 2013, but the 10,001 batch was never used a cent. the BTCbatch was 9 years nearly used. On Tuesday, Taisia, a blockchain researcher and administrator of the Telegram channel gfoundinsh*t, said 10,000 bitcoins came from the infamous 2011 Mt Gox hack.
“Blockchain visualization shows that the same wallet (1McUC) actually appeared in each of the transaction chains associated with both withdrawals, and that at the time of the event just described, a large amount ( 134K BTC from Gox) clearly indicates that it was received.” Taisia told Bitcoin.com News.” And as we remember, the founders of the later created BTC-E exchange, and later WEX, were also suspected in the subsequent hacker attack.”
Taisia added:
Given what is happening now with the leaders of these two exchanges, these old piggy banks could have been opened under the influence of law enforcement if they were involved in the summer cyber attacks.
Taisia also said that while rumors of 140,000 Mt Gox bitcoins were spreading like wildfire this weekend, it is a strange coincidence that these 2011 Mt Gox coins were distributed this week.Bitcoin.com News reported three days ago that old Mt Gox bitcoin and reported on the speculation and rumors surrounding the people and the actualnumber of Mt Gox creditorswho called it “fake news.”
