Who is behind this Transfer? BitMEX traders or PlusToken scammers
It has not been yet known who is responsible for this transfer however there are two suspects who might be behind it either BitMEX traders or PlusToken scammers.
It is being expected that these funds may have come from the BitMEX traders. The reason might be the sell-liquidations that occurred on the BitMEX trading platform because of the recent price drop. Around 90% of all derivative contracts had been closed on Thursday following the forced liquidations of the long contracts.
PlusToken scammers can also be suspected for this large transfer because they have not yet moved their fraudulent Bitcoins from last week and therefore, it is likely that they may have made a transfer to Bitstamp exchange to dump their bitcoins.
Is Bitcoin Price going to dump again?
