    Alameda wallets funnel over $1.7M via crypto mixers overnight

    30 cryptocurrency wallets linked to Alameda Research, the bankrupt sister company of crypto exchange FTX, became active on Dec. 28 following four weeks of inactivity.
    Crypto mixers are often used by market exploiters and criminals to obscure the transaction path so that the funds cannot be traced to the original source.
    The team statement indicated that the company is putting, "serious effort into preventing such incidents," continuing: "Currently, [ChangeNow's] compliance team is working closely with investigators to detect the flow of the illegal funds, while also keeping a close eye on alerts from the community on funds with suspicious trails."
