Prosecutor Summary
Inferno Drainer — SIGBOT Analysis (Public Data)

Between November 2022 and November 2023, the Inferno Drainer scam-as-a-service operation stole approximately $87 million from ~137,000 victims across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon and BNB Chain.

Funds flowed from victims → drain transactions → a peel chain of 5-12 hops → Tornado Cash (3 deposits) → Binance, OKX and Bybit hot wallets. The developer fee (20-30%) was split across 5 identified collector addresses holding 250-400 ETH each at peak.

Trace reached custody points at Binance (42% of traced volume), OKX (18%) and Bybit (12%). The remaining 28% exited via Tornado Cash or remain in peel-chain addresses.

Based on public ledger data as of 2024-01-17. Identity determinations require law-enforcement action.
