The police investigators already have found the suspect as a Telegram channel Goldfoundinshit TM suggested. The Telegram channel earlier also talked about the theft with reference to its sources.
Account of trader Alexander was blocked by Binance
As the investigation of this case was in progress, therefore, Ukrainian cyber police representatives contacted Binance crypto exchange and requested them to block user accounts for the duration of this investigation as the ForkLog reported. As a result, the Binance exchange blocked the account of trader Alexander who had a large amount on the account.
The user was not allowed to get access to the account and therefore, was not able to withdraw funds. Since the investigation was going on, therefore, support service asked him to wait for 30 days but the site did not ask him that what was the origin of these funds?
Also read:Alexander then claimed that the possible reason behind this blocking is the receipt of USDT that he received from his friend at the end of December. As a result, the crypto exchange Binance also blocked the account of the seller.
Later on, ForkLog contacted Alexander and talked with him. He told him that his account is still blocked and the customer support team asked him to contact an investigator from cyber police.
