According to monitoring from Galaxy Research, on September 21st, a transaction transferred 40.71 BTC, worth approximately $3.31 million, involving 11 addresses and 480 outputs. The transaction contained an OP_RETURN message with " claims : cryptorecoverytrust.com ". Galaxy attributes these Bitcoins to attackers labeled as " footprint aa ". The study leader, Alex Thorn, stated that another round of transfers resulted in 52.37 BTC being moved to the same new address in the Recovery Trust, with the white-hat funds accounting for about 2.8% of the total amount stolen in the Coldcard vulnerability.
