AMLBot: Bitget attacker allegedly made mistaken chain selections, approximately 700000 USD assets stranded
According to BlockBeats,October 2, blockchain anti-money-laundering platform AMLBot stated that the Bitget attacker allegedly made mistaken chain selections while transferring stolen funds Ethereum and Arbitrum, resulting in approximately 700000 USD in assets being stranded.
Of this, approximately 267000 USDC was sent to a Chainflip deposit channel on the wrong chain, and the related address was subsequently blacklisted by Circle; another approximately 160 ETH(approximately 430000 USD) was bridged to Arbitrum and then sent to a channel that exists only on Ethereum, where the funds are currently stuck. AMLBot believes the transactions may have been executed by an automated script.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This report describes fund transfers that allegedly selected the wrong blockchain or channel: involved USDC and address blacklisting, while the other involved the bridged ETH. The original report states that both funds are currently impeded. Whether an automated script was involved is only AMLBot's assessment.
Why it matters to readers
The incident involves the subsequent transfer of stolen funds, with approximately 700000 USD in assets currently unable to circulate normally; the original report does not state whether the related funds can later be unfrozen, recovered, or transferred further.
Beginners should note that assets with the same name may exist on different blockchains. In cross-chain transfers, a mismatch between the chain and deposit channel may cause funds to become stuck; however, the details described here are based primarily on AMLBot's public assessment.
Risks and unknowns
The identity of the “Bitget attacker” was not independently confirmed in the original report.
The specific reasons for the mistaken selections Ethereum and Arbitrum remain unclear.
It has not been confirmed whether the transactions were in fact executed by an automated script.
Whether approximately 267000 USDC can be unfrozen or recovered remains unclear.
Whether approximately 160 ETH can be recovered from its stuck state remains unclear.
