TREE NEWS reports: An address tagged “Drift Exploiter 1” has moved a fresh batch of stolen funds into Tornado Cash, transferring about 18,800 ETH valued at roughly $46 million as of the monitoring time. The transfers were flagged by on-chain tracking, with the funds routed through the mixing service in a new round of laundering activity tied to the Drift exploit.
Drift Exploiter Moves 18,800 ETH Worth $46M to Tornado Cash
The movement matters less as a price event than as a laundering-cadence signal: the exploiter is still actively routing proceeds, which keeps Drift-linked funds traceable in public while making recovery harder with each pass through the mixer. It affects anyone tracking the exploit's fallout, including exchanges and analytics firms screening for tainted flows. Whether the pace of these transfers accelerates or stalls is the open question, and it is the clearest public gauge of how much of the haul remains unlaundered.
