BlockBeats News, June 22 — According to on-chain investigator ZachXBT monitoring, three hours ago, an address related to the HashFlare investment scam case transferred out 10,600 ETH after being dormant on the chain for about 3.5 years, worth approximately $18.5 million.

The information shows that two Estonian co-founders of HashFlare, Sergei Potapenko and Ivan Turõgin, pleaded guilty in 2025 and agreed to forfeit about $450 million in assets to the U.S. government.

After this transfer, the related entities began moving funds from Ethereum to the Bitcoin network via HiFiSwap and Near Intents, and used two instant exchange platforms for fund circulation. This abnormal fund movement was first discovered with the assistance of Cyvers.
