This money laundering chain makes my scalp tingle; the dark route from Hyperliquid to Monero is probably going to become the new standard.

Chainalysis traces THORChain attack source: skilled in money laundering, moving funds across chains for weeks before executing the attack
Chainalysis reports that the stolen wallet from THORChain transferred funds over several weeks through Monero, Hyperliquid, and THORChain. In April, funds were deposited into Hyperliquid via a privacy bridge, then transferred to USDC on Arbitrum before bridging to Ethereum, with some ETH entering THORChain to become new RUNE nodes. The attacker split RUNE into four routes back to Ethereum, one of which directly sent 8 ETH to the final wallet about 40 minutes before the attack. The other three routes flowed funds in reverse through Hyperliquid/Monero back to Monero. As of Friday, the funds have not been moved, but the cross-chain money laundering capability has been demonstrated, with the Hyperliquid to Monero path potentially being the next step.
