Irish drug lord “Lost” moves “10-year-old” Bitcoin again, transferring 500 BTC worth approximately $38 million

ME News Report, May 20 (UTC+8), according to Arkham monitoring, the Bitcoin associated with Irish drug lord Clifton Collins, previously believed to be "permanently lost," has been transferred again. Clifton Collins was once a beekeeper, later arrested for drug trafficking. Between 2011 and 2012, he purchased approximately $30k worth of Bitcoin, which now has an asset value approaching $400 million. Due to his claim of losing the private key, this batch of BTC has long been considered unrecoverable by the outside world. However, a month ago, 500 BTC were transferred for the first time after being dormant for 10 years. The latest data shows another 500 BTC have been transferred again, worth about $38 million at current prices. (Source: BlockBeats)
