The sending wallet now holds zero Bitcoin but would currently be the 53rd-richest Bitcoin address in the world were it not for the transfer, according to BitInfoCharts.

A second unknown address received the Bitcoin, transferring most of it less than an hour later to third unknown wallet.

About an hour and a half after receiving the BTC, the third unknown wallet sent the Bitcoin trove to a fourth unknown address.

An hour and a half after receiving BTC from the third wallet, the fourth unknown wallet transferred the Bitcoin to a fifth unknown address, where it sits today.
