This is also the rumor every time a crypto exchange is “hacked” and loses all of the stored crypto. It was never obvious if the people running the exchanges were incompetent or criminal, but I suspect it was a combination of both in many cases.
why does the article say it would be difficult to liquidate those tokens instead of just posting the address so we can see what they did?
I think this is a symptom of general ignorance and decade-plus-long aversion to understand crypto. Its a choice and it works extremely well for the person that now has custody.
okay lets narrow it down, it mentions the token name - approximately 4 million Pre-Retogeum, or PRTG - so we can just look up that token on the network its deployed on, and look for large recent transactions
Edit: I’m looking at this address now, based on receiving the 4,000,000 tokens 1,000+ days and sending them out 2 days ago
