FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is reportedly cashing out large amounts of cryptocurrency soon after being released on bail, on-chain data suggests.<\/p>\n

SBF has cashed out $684,000 in crypto to an exchange in Seychelles while being under house arrest, according to the on-chain investigation by DeFi educator BowTiedIguana.<\/p>\n

Decentralized finance (DeFi) analyst BowTiedIguana took to Twitter on Dec. 29 to report<\/a> on a series of obfuscated wallet transactions allegedly linked to SBF, suggesting that the former FTX CEO could have violated release conditions to not spend more than $1,000 without permission from the court.<\/p>\n

According to BowTiedIguana\u2019s analysis, SBF\u2019s public address (0xD5758) on Dec. 28 sent all remaining Ether (ETH) to a newly created address (0x7386d).\u00a0BowTiedIguana noted that SBF took over the address that was originally owned by Sushiswap creator from Chef Nomi in August 2020.<\/p>\n

Within hours, 0x7386d\u00a0received transfers totaling $367,000 from 32 addresses identified as Alameda Research wallets, with an additional $322,000 coming from other wallets. All funds were sent to a centralized crypto exchange in Seychelles and to the crypto bridge RenBridge, according to the DeFi analyst.<\/p>\n

0x7386d\u00a0sent a total of 519.5 Ether (ETH), or around $629,000, to 0x64e9B, which also received funds from addresses labeled as Alameda Research. BowTiedIguana also identified five separate transactions of less than 51 ETH ($61,000) that were used to move funds to newly created wallets and then \u201conwards to a Seychelles-based exchange.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, the SBF-linked wallet 0x64e9B sent three tranches of 200,000 Tether (USDT) to the FixedFloat exchange.<\/p>\n
