What are you talking about ?!

No, What are you talking about?

Actually what garlonicon said was correct

To make a valid transaction you need a private key. Period.

The transaction we are talking about was made from bech32 address created from the same private key that puzzle 66 address containing funds. And it was created about a year ago from now.

What transaction are you talking about?

To send some value to some destination address you don't need its private key, you only need the private key of the source address, not of thr destination one...

Public key of puzzle 66 is:  024ee2be2d4e9f92d2f5a4a03058617dc45befe22938feed5b7a6b7282dd74cbdd

Compressed bech32 address derived from that key is :  bc1qyr2956nky56hqr8fuzepdccejse4mw994lyftn

Now look into block explorer ... in 2023 there was a valid OUTGOING TRANSACTION from that address !!!
