Menkougang hackers sold about 1,300 bitcoins in the past week

Recently, according to market news, analyst Emmett Gallic monitored that Aleksey Bilyuchenko, who has been accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of being a Mt. Gox hacker, has deposited 1,300 BTC (worth approximately $114 million) into an unknown trading platform in the past 7 days. This series of addresses still holds 4,100 BTC (worth $360 million). They have sold a total of 2,300 BTC.

Public information shows that Aleksey Bilyuchenko has been operating BTC-e, a notorious trading platform, with Alexander Vinnik since 2011, which has been accused of laundering money for global cybercriminals, including ransomware, identity theft, and drug trafficking.

BTC-e was shut down by law enforcement in 2017. The U.S. Department of Justice has accused him of hacking Mt. Gox (then the world's largest Bitcoin exchange) with Aleksandr Verner since 2011, stealing approximately 647,000 bitcoins (leading to the bankruptcy of Mt. Gox). They have been charged with conspiracy to launder money and using part of the proceeds to operate BTC-e.
