Forensic analysis of gadgets recovered from accused found no digital footprints
Political circles in Karnataka are abuzz with claims that several police officials and politicians, including two top Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) functionaries, are beneficiaries of the bitcoins hacked by Sri Krishna, allegedly diverted to their accounts for a cover-up. However, even the Opposition Congress has not explicitly made this allegation on record.
Movement of large caches of hacked, stolen, and blacklisted bitcoins from the 2016 Bitfinex hack — one of the largest bitcoin heists in the world — when Sri Krishna, who claimed to be part of the Bitfinex hackers’ group, was in custody is being speculated as an indication of this “scam”. However, there is no evidence beyond Sri Krishna’s own claims, for his links to Bitfinex hack.
