Oh Darling, ZachXBT’s Wallet Gets a Shady Government Kiss!

by

My dear, ZachXBT has found himself in a most peculiar predicament-0.6767 ETH, a trifling $2,000, has waltzed into his public wallet, allegedly from the pilfered coffers of the U.S. government. How utterly divine!

Imagine, if you will, the audacity! A mere 0.6767 ETH, stolen from the U.S. government, has sashayed into the public wallet of our intrepid blockchain sleuth, ZachXBT. How dreadfully inconvenient for him, and yet, how utterly fascinating for us!

The transfer, unveiled on January 26, 2026, was traced to a scoundrel linked to previous government wallet breaches. One can only imagine the drama unfolding behind the scenes, darling.

A Transfer of 0.6767 ETH to a Public Wallet

On the fateful day of January 26, 2026, ZachXBT revealed that his public wallet had received 0.6767 ETH. According to the ever-so-reliable Cointelegraph, this sum was valued at approximately $2,000 at the time. How quaint!

🚨 JUST IN: ZachXBT declares 0.6767 ETH in stolen US govt funds was sent to his public wallet by the enigmatic John (Lick).

ZachXBT, ever the gentleman, stated that the funds were sent by one John Daghita, known in the underworld as “John” and “Lick.” How charming! The funds arrived unannounced, without so much as a by-your-leave, during a heated online tiff involving cybercrime’s finest.

Apparently, the sender fancied himself a showman, using the transfer as a dramatic display of wallet control. How utterly theatrical!

ZachXBT, ever the upstanding citizen, declared he has no intention of keeping the funds. He plans to return the 0.6767 ETH to the U.S. government’s seizure address, once the red tape is sorted. How very noble of him!

“Band for Band”-A Farce of Financial Dominance

The transfer followed a most entertaining argument in a Telegram group chat, involving two luminaries of the cybercrime world. The topic? A “band for band” dispute, where participants flaunt their wallet balances like peacocks at a garden party.

During this spectacle, “Lick” shared his screen, revealing an Exodus wallet with a Tron blockchain address holding a cool $2.3 million. How utterly vulgar, yet utterly compelling!

This display of wealth, darling, was later used by investigators to trace related blockchain activity. How convenient for them, and how unfortunate for our dear “Lick.”

A Link to a Previous Government Wallet Breach

According to ZachXBT, the traced address received a staggering $24.9 million in March 2024 from a U.S. government wallet. These funds, seized during criminal investigations, were meant to be under lock and key. How dreadfully careless of them!

7/ 0xc7a2 received $24.9M from a US Government address in March 2024, linked to the Bitfinex hack seizure-a theft from the USG I previously reported in Oct 2024.

$18.5M currently sits at 0xc7A253fD3C61CF69d043e6184c107dF4E29475B5

Blockchain records reveal the funds originated from wallets tied to the Bitfinex hack seizure. ZachXBT, ever vigilant, had previously noted unusual movements involving these funds in October 2024. Approximately $20 million was transferred out of government-controlled addresses, with only $700,000 unaccounted for. How utterly scandalous!

The missing funds, darling, were swapped through services with limited transparency, making them nearly impossible to trace. How very inconvenient for the authorities, and how very amusing for us!
