Screenshot of One of Binance Hot Wallets drained to new account, funded by Tornado Cash

The record concerns a suspected theft from a Binance hot wallet, with the heading identifying a new recipient account and alleging that it had been funded through Tornado Cash. Its central detail is a successful Ethereum transaction on October 29, 2026, involving 167,464.247856558836135296 ETH, valued at about $378.32 million at the time. The decoded transfer labels Binance 14 as sending the funds to an account named “Suspect Binance Hot Wallet Exploiter 2,” linking the transaction to a suspected large-scale wallet drain.

The transaction fields show a more complicated call path: the top-level sender is the suspect-labeled address, while Binance 14 is listed as the address it interacted with; the decoded action describes the ETH moving from Binance 14 to the suspect. The transaction has 64 logs and is marked successful. These details establish the scale, destination label, and recorded movement of funds, but the displayed transaction does not itself show how the suspect account was funded or document its connection to Tornado Cash. That link is asserted in the heading rather than demonstrated in the transaction details provided.
