Odaily News: According to monitoring by Galaxy's Head of Research, a victim's Coldcard wallet was hacked, involving nearly 30 BTC, of which 17 BTC were swapped for ETH via THORChain and subsequently deposited into Duel.comcasino. The victim and a researcher have sent emails to all known addresses of Duel.comcasino, requesting that the platform freeze the relevant funds, and provided all transaction and deposit information. The hacker deposited 229.72497255 ETH worth $445,000 into Duel.comcasino, funds originating from the Coldcard attack involving approximately 30 BTC. The victim stated that Duel.comcasino responded by saying that police would need to contact their team. Duel.comcasino's anti-money laundering policy claims that it implements Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures and complies with all applicable laws. Duel.comcasino was notified just minutes after the relevant deposit was completed. As of now, Duel.comcasino has not frozen the funds; since it was already past midnight in most of the West at the time of the incident, police reports cannot be filed until at least Monday. If Duel.comcasino does not freeze the funds, the victim will take legal action against them. Duel.comcasino's X account has been suspended, and Galaxy's Head of Research has also tagged individuals suspected to be connected to the platform on X, including team members and dealers, such as @korraflow, @atrois7, and @MiaMalkova.
