Kelp DAO hacker has mostly completed money laundering, with nearly all of the approximately $220 million in unfrozen funds flowing out of the tracking scope.
In April, Kelp DAO's cross-chain bridge was attacked, resulting in theft of approximately $292 million.
Aside from $71 million worth of ETH that was frozen, the remaining funds have mostly been laundered, with the attacker's original address now holding only about $1.7 million.
On-chain data shows that they used tools such as THORChain, Wasabi, Tornado Cash, Umbra, and others for cross-chain mixing, making tracking difficult, with initial indications pointing to Lazarus Group.
The only recoverable assets are approximately 30,766 ETH (about $71 million) frozen by the Arbitrum Security Council, but progress has been hindered by court injunctions.
