I am wondering what these addresses are up to. I also found that all of the addresses are still active. Here's some of the addresses I found:

  • bc1qw8wrek2m7nlqldll66ajnwr9mh64syvkt67zlu - 4103.17259053 BTC
  • 3QFtYbR22en2AizTb7JVFA9bL2rf1fbNJr - 6255.97665029 BTC
  • bc1qmxcagqze2n4hr5rwflyfu35q90y22raxdgcp4p - 2988.93455519 BTC
  • bc1quq29mutxkgxmjfdr7ayj3zd9ad0ld5mrhh89l2 - 1361.74526852 BTC
  • bc1q8yja3gw33ngd8aunmfr4hj820adc9nlsv0syvz - 1797.08620625 BTC
  • more...

Does anyone know what this could possibly be? Is it bots trying to "launder" Bitcoin?
Apart from the first one, all of the above addresses belong to known exchanges [some of them have in and outs from other platforms while there's one with mostly internal transfers]:
- With regard to the former, I didn't go that deep to see if it could be a laundering case or not (feel free to go down that road by clicking the following links).

In exact order:

Exchange address with multiple reports on bitcoinabuse?
Yes, try searching for the following "old Binance address" on the same website and you'll see a lot of fake reports!
Note: I'm not implying all of the reports on BitcoinAbuse are fake.

I don't know if the admins/owner of that Bitcoinabuse does take care of this spam.
Unfortunately, they won't:

  • Can you remove a report?
    No, in order to protect the integrity of the BitcoinAbuse database we will not remove or edit any reports.
