A heated online argument between two hackers led to an unexpected discovery. One of them, known as John or Lick, accidentally revealed his crypto wallet. This wallet was linked to over $90 million in questionable funds. A blockchain sleuth named ZachXBT made this connection. The fight happened in an online chat group. Both hackers were trying to outdo each other. They were showing off their crypto holdings in a contest called "band for band. " The whole exchange was recorded. In the video, John showed a wallet with about $2. 3 million in Tron. He also moved around $6. 7 million in ether. By the end, he had around $23 million in one wallet.ZachXBT traced the funds back to other wallets. One of them, 0xd8bc, was linked to another wallet, 0x8924. John admitted to owning this wallet. It received a large amount of wrapped ether in late 2025. This ether came from a wallet tied to the Bitfinex hack. The U. S. government had seized these funds earlier. The wallet 0xd8bc also received over $63 million from other suspected victims. Recently, it got another $12. 4 million from a centralized exchange. This whole incident shows how careless actions can lead to big revelations.
