X user ‘Sillytuna’ claims $24 million stolen in violent crypto attack
X user 'Sillytuna' alleged $24 million in crypto was stolen during a violent attack involving weapons and kidnapping.Summary
X user 'Sillytuna' claimed on Wednesday that approximately $24 million worth of Aave Ethereum USDC (aEthUSDC) was stolen during a violent armed attack that included kidnapping and threats of sexual assault. Although law enforcement is reportedly involved, authorities have not confirmed the details. Sillytuna offered a 10% bounty for the recovery of the funds. Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence traced the stolen assets as they were moved across Layer 2 networks, Bitcoin, and Monero in an apparent attempt to obscure the trail. Security firm PeckShield also flagged the draining of the assets. However, some market participants have questioned the credibility of the claims, noting the account's lack of prior crypto-related posts before the incident, though the account has been active since 2008 and is reportedly connected to a longtime NFT and gaming entrepreneur.
