🚨 $14.5B Bitcoin Theft Exposed After 5 Years

Arkham just revealed one of the biggest secrets in crypto history. Back in December 2020, over 127,000 BTC were quietly stolen from the Chinese mining pool LuBian. Nobody noticed. Not exchanges, not users, not even the mining community.

That stolen Bitcoin is now worth over $14.5 billion. It’s sitting in a wallet that ranks among the top 15 richest $BTC addresses—completely untouched.

LuBian mysteriously disappeared in early 2021. Turns out, they were hacked. Private key flaws likely gave the attacker access. LuBian tried everything—even sending over 1,500 on-chain messages begging the thief to return funds. Nothing worked.

This is now officially the largest BTC theft ever. Bigger than Mt. Gox. Bigger than anything we've seen.

The crazy part? It was only discovered this week—almost five years later.

No fluff. Just a $14.5B warning shot to the entire crypto space. Keep your infrastructure tight. And never assume silence means safety.
