Orbit Chain Hacker Launders 4,320 ETH via Tornado Cash One Year After $81.5M Theft, Still Holds 9,511 ETH

COINOTAG reported on August 31 that EmberCN monitoring observed the original attacker behind the early‑2024 Orbit Chain theft transfer 4,320 ETH via Tornado Cash, valued at approximately $18.81 million. The movement is tied to the breach that initially yielded roughly $81.5 million in stolen assets.

On‑chain analytics indicate the actor converted proceeds into ETH at an average price near $2,301 and retained the position; subsequent market appreciation has materially increased the fiat valuation of those holdings.

EmberCN tracing shows a cumulative 17,242 ETH (≈$66.35 million) routed through Tornado Cash, while the suspect address still holds about 9,511 ETH (≈$41.6 million) and 20 million DAI, leaving untransferred assets estimated at $61.6 million.
