Ian Balina's allegedly-hacked wallets have been used in a new batch of transactions, resurrecting conspiracies over the cryptocurrency influencer's involvement in the hack.
After reporting a multi-million dollar hack in April 2018 - days before the US tax-filing deadline - Balina faced suspicions that he had orchestrated the event in an effort to evade taxes.
Failing to convince conspirators of his innocence, Balina now faces fresh accusations following a string of transactions in and out of a reportedly-hacked wallet.
Balina received his mainframe and quarkchain tokens in the same eth accounts he claimed were hacked.
While not explicitly accusing Balina of foul play, Mo's tweet appears to have pushed Balina back into the firing line.
Many would view the transactions as irrefutable proof that Balina is in full control of the wallets - making the influencer culpable for the April hack.
I would like to report Ian Balina for tax evasion and fraudulent behavior on his investments where he uses his following to pump and overhype projects.
"In fact W2 was not one the wallets that got hacked. If you search on google for information about Ian Balina's hacked wallets you will find that those were 4 wallets that have an ENS visible at Ethereum as IanBal Hack 1, IanBal Hack 2 and IanBal Hack 3".
Further, speculators have questioned Balina's ability to drain the wallet faster than hackers - who may employ automated bots that execute cyber-attacks in seconds.
Balina recently received presale tokens into his "Hacked" ETH address from CryptoCurrency.
