Many eyes in the crypto world are on a 42-character address on the Ethereum blockchain, which has unclear ownership and is currently home to the equivalent of about $600 million.
Hackers stole the funds from players of online game “Axie Infinity” in a March 23 heist uncovered last week.

Crypto’s transparency has turned money laundering into a perverse spectator sport. Transaction records on public blockchains give authorities a bird’s-eye view of stolen funds equivalent to tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, often pilfered by targeting poorly secured software bridges that transfer assets between blockchains.
