$1.7M in Quadrigacx Bitcoins Move, Court Trustee EY Says Transfers Were 'Unauthorized' – Bitcoin News

On Dec. 19, the Twitter account Zachxbt revealed he discovered five cold wallets from the now-defunct Quadrigacx crypto exchange move 104 bitcoin. The following day, ‘big four’ accountancy firm EY, Quadrigacx’s bankruptcy court trustee, explained it did not authorize the spending of the funds and that prior reports detailed that the cold wallets were inaccessible to EY.

Cold Wallets Associated With Now-Defunct Quadrigacx Wake up After Years of Sitting Idle

During the first week of Feb. 2019, the crypto exchange Quadrigacx told customers it was shutting down operations until it solved liquidity issues. Then the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia ordered the business to enter into the Companies’ Creditor Arrangement Act (CCAA), and the court appointed the accountancy firm EY to manage the firm’s remaining assets.

Making matters worse, it was discovered that $150 million in customer funds were lost after the death of Quadrigacx’s founder Gerald Cotten. Reportedly, the private keys Cotten held could not be accessed, and it spurred numerous conspiracy theories that said Cotten may have faked his own death.

Five wallets attributed to QuadrigaCX unexpectedly moved ~104 BTC on Dec 17 for the first time in years.

Close to four years later, the Quadrigacx mystery is still unsolved, and on Monday, Dec. 19, 2022, the Twitter user Zachxbt explained he discovered 104 bitcoin (BTC) move from five different Quadrigacx-flagged cold wallets. The 104 BTC is worth $1.75 million using today’s exchange rates and Zachxbt believes around 69 BTC was sent to Wasabi, a bitcoin mixing wallet service.

In addition to Zachxbt’s discovery, EY addressed the bitcoin movements the following day on Dec. 20, 2022, in a “notice to affected users” that highlights the “unauthorized transfer of Quadriga bitcoin.” EY insists that the transfers were not authorized by the accountancy firm and it noted that the company and representative counsel “have become aware of an unauthorized movement of bitcoin.”

While Zachxbt’s tweet mentions five addresses, the EY update includes a total of six bitcoin wallets (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). EY says that on several occasions it has been documented by the CCAA proceedings that these specific funds were inaccessible. “Quadriga inadvertently transferred certain cryptocurrency into cold wallets that the applicants were unable to access,” EY’s update details.

Onchain data shows the bitcoin addresses “1J9Fq” and “1Mhgm” connected following the first transactions before moving to the bitcoin wallet “1GVsp.” Furthermore, while Zachxbt detailed that it appeared “1HyYM & 1JPtxS were sent to Wasabi” five days ago, onchain data shows the two addresses connected, and 33.12 BTC was sent to “bc1q0.”

An onchain perspective of the movements between the bitcoin addresses 1HyYM, 1JPtxS, and bc1q0. At the time of writing, at 11:00 a.m. (ET) on Dec. 21, 2022, the bitcoin address bc1q0 still holds 33.12 BTC worth just over $500K.

The 33.12 BTC or just over $500K worth of bitcoin using today’s exchange rate has remained idle in the address since Dec. 17. Interestingly, the single transaction of 33.12 BTC sent to bc1q0 came from 164 different senders. Several matched bitcoin addresses were identified in the onchain movements between 1HyYM, 1JPtxS, and bc1q0.
