According to Lookonchain's post, many wallets that have been dormant for 3.3 years transferred 789,533 Ethereum (ETH) worth a total of $2 billion.
Investigating where these funds came from, Lookonchain stated that it detected that ETHs came to these wallets from the “Plus Token Ponzi 2” wallet.
These ETHs were seized by Chinese police fighting against the PlusToken Ponzi scheme.
The Plus Token Ponzi 2 wallet distributed Ethereum to thousands of wallets in 2020, and the wallets have not moved since then.
However, activity has begun in these wallets and thousands of ETH transfers are being made.
