Ethereum Wallet Moves $4.6 Million After 11 Years And Avoids Crypto Scam
Summary
An Ethereum wallet funded at launch in 2015 became active on November 9, 2026, transferring nearly all of its 2,155 ETH—about $4.6 million. After a 0.05 ETH test transfer, scammers sent tiny payments from lookalike addresses in an apparent address-poisoning attempt. The owner completed the larger transfer to the intended destination, and the funds were not diverted. The wallet owner’s identity and reason for moving the ETH are unknown, and there is no evidence the transfer was a sale.
