What sources claim
- Crypto investigators flagged a suspected theft in which a European entity may have lost $106 million from exchange accounts, Cointelegraph reported.
- A wallet associated with a Solana arbitrage bot may have lost another $786,000, according to Cointelegraph.
Still unresolved
- Which exchange accounts held the $106 million and which exchange, if any, has issued a notice or confirmed the loss?
- What on-chain evidence identifies the Solana arbitrage bot wallet and the $786,000 transfer, and would the bot's operator or an investigator confirm it?
Evidence levels describe source coverage, not the probability that a report is true. Price moves and their timing cannot establish a cause; minute samples show an observed interval and alert thresholds are heuristics. Explanations are model-assisted, with citations and figures checked. Source titles stay in their original language; full articles are not republished.
