Drift Exploiter Moves $109M in Ether to Tornado Cash in Two Days

The speed here is the story: routing nine figures through Tornado Cash in roughly 48 hours signals that whoever controls the Drift wallets is prioritizing obfuscation over patience, even as the remaining Ether stays parked and visible on-chain. That has direct implications for exchanges, analytics firms and any protocol with exposure to tainted funds, since mixer inflows of this size sharpen the compliance question around what gets frozen or flagged. Whether the pace of transfers continues, or the residual balance is split and dispersed, is the open question worth watching.
