Bitget Hacker Moves $3.8M in ZEC to Zcash Ironwood Pool After Near Intents Rejects Swaps

The notable detail is not the amount but the failure of a swap venue to cooperate: Near Intents' refusal pushed the attacker toward a privacy pool instead of a conventional mixer or exchange. That matters for how stolen funds get laundered when compliant services decline, and it puts Zcash's shielded infrastructure in the spotlight as a fallback route. Whether other privacy tools absorb similar flows, and whether that draws scrutiny toward them, is the open question worth watching.
