Prosecutor summary — FC-2026-0047
A total of 16,583.69 USDC was drained from the victim wallet (0x6e17…e8fea9) in a single ERC-20 transfer to intermediary address 0x8ca5…23d22 (tx 0xac58…0809, Ethereum mainnet block 25,788,826).
The intermediary wallet immediately peeled funds into multiple downstream wallets within the same block. 4,454.21 USDC was routed through 0xe319…a7b27 to 0x111f…dcd4 (tx 0xfc67…79b7), while 4,595.78 USDC was forwarded through 0x1ab4…8f23 to terminal address 0xc4aa…8b19 (tx 0x7c3e…651b).
The use of same-block forwarding across 3 hops is consistent with automated smart-contract-driven laundering. The funds maintain USDC denomination throughout — no swap or bridge was used, preserving full value at each step.
The terminal address 0xc4aa…8b19 has been identified as an accumulation wallet, receiving USDC transfers from multiple unrelated sources. This pattern is consistent with a pre-staging address used to aggregate stolen funds before off-ramp.
Every transaction in this trace is verifiable on Ethereum mainnet via the linked Etherscan transaction hashes. The 5-hop chain demonstrates how stolen USDC can be rapidly dispersed through peel chains within a single block.
