Monitoring cited by Odaily and attributed to Galaxy’s head of research says funds linked to a Coldcard wallet hack were moved into Duel.comcasino after a cross-chain swap through THORChain. The case involves nearly 30 BTC in total, with 17 BTC swapped into ETH before the proceeds were sent on. The reported deposit reached 229.72497255 ETH, valued at about $445,000.
According to the report, the victim and a researcher emailed all known Duel.comcasino addresses with a request to freeze the funds and included transaction and deposit records. The victim said the platform replied that its team would need to be contacted by police. Duel.comcasino’s anti-money laundering policy says it carries out know-your-customer checks and complies with relevant laws. The notice to the platform was reportedly sent within minutes of the deposit being completed.
As of the latest update, the funds had not been frozen. The victim said a police report could not be filed until at least Monday because most of the Western world was already past midnight when the incident unfolded. If Duel.comcasino does not freeze the assets, the victim said legal action will be pursued.
