Today the Sam Bankman-Fried trial started.
SBF "allegedly" stole BILLIONs from investors, FTX customers, and exchanges.
I was devastated when hackers stole my 84k+ MOONs + another 300K. I can't imagine what those who lost MILLIONS must be going through.
A number of Alamada Research/SBF wallets have been identified that will be brought up in this court case.
However, I believe at least one wallet will NOT be mentioned that should be.
The Case
While the SBF case is going on, I'm making my own case for identifying a previously unknown SBF/Alameda Research Wallet.
The wallet in question is 0x3E8e470972291783a91de529454d366349810425
Above is a visualization of 0x3E8e470972291783a91de529454d366349810425. I marked off the incoming FTX, FTX US, and Alameda Research transactions on the left. On the right, most of the outgoing transactions went to Coinbase Hot Wallets.
Let's begin!
In addition to countless FTX, FTX US, and Alameda interactions, I noticed the last txn of 0x3E8e470972291783a91de529454d366349810425 was on 10/1/22. The timing is odd as that is about a month before the fallout of FTX began.
I went back to look at SBF's tweets around that timeframe to see if I could find anything of interest.
The SBF 9/28/22 Tweet
Could the fall of FTX started a month earlier than previously reported?
The Fall of FTX and SBF
We know the timeline of events leading up to the collapse. Below is a summary of events in 2022.
- Nov. 2: Coindesk starts the chaos with an article outing FTX's reserves.
- Nov. 6: Binance liquidates all FTT tokens, aka the infamous CZ tweet.
- Nov. 7: FTX announces a liquidity crisis and looks for a bailout.
- Nov. 8: Binance says it will buy FTXβs non-U.S. business.
- Nov. 9: Binance walks away from FTX acquisition.
- Nov. 11: SBF steps down while FTX files for bankruptcy.
- Nov. 12: FTX reports a hack, over 415M in assets allegedly stolen.
- Nov. 18: The Bahamas takes control of FTX assets.
- Dec. 12: SBF is arrested and later extradited to the U.S.
- Dec. 22: SBF is released on a $250 million bond.
Looking at SBF's tweet on 9/28/22, there's definitely smoke signals of impending doom. The commenters also brought up their concerns on his tweets. Here's a few of my favorite replies:

The Connection to SBF/Alameda Research
Could the wallet in question 0x3E8e470972291783a91de529454d366349810425 be one of the wallets to get "rotated"?
Above is a look inside 0x3E8e470972291783a91de529454d366349810425 [labeled !SBF?] sorted by most recent txns on the right. The last transaction of this wallet took place on 10/1/22 and aligns with the timeframe of SBF's tweet on 9/28/22.
I'm showing the most INCOMING interactions are coming from the known FTX Hot Wallet of 0x2FAF487A4414Fe77e2327F0bf4AE2a264a776AD2 and various known Alameda Wallets.
Above is a look inside 0x3E8e470972291783a91de529454d366349810425 [labeled !SBF?] sorted by highest amounts of INCOMING transactions. The top 12 highest incoming transactions are either Alameda Research Wallets or the FTX Hot Wallet - 0x2FAF487A4414Fe77e2327F0bf4AE2a264a776AD2
I listed below the known Alameda Wallets 0x3E8e470972291783a91de529454d366349810425 is interacting with. I'm sure there's more here but here's the top 10 I found based on amounts

Above is a look inside 0xFa453aec042a837e4AEBbADAB9d4E25B15FAd69D. You can see the wallet of interest, 0x3E8e470972291783a91de529454d366349810425 [!SBF?] is sandwiched in between all of the Alameda Research wallets.
Additional Wallets of Interest
The below wallets are very interesting. Most appear to be intermediary wallets to deposit into Coinbase, Circle, or Three Arrows Capital. However, there could be some additional SBF/Alameda Research entities in here.
All of these wallets have a single transaction ranging from 21.87M to 2.81M. There's more below 2.81M but I wanted focus on the larger transactions.
Above is an example of the activity inside 0x3E8e470972291783a91de529454d366349810425. I believe these were mostly used as intermediary wallets.

An example of intermediary wallet 0x77C5991d6C5A380cc34A8fA0EfebB25768681116. The address was used to deposit USDC into Three Arrows Capital
Another example of the intermediary wallet of 0x0c0EEF26dCDacCA7Eb9DA4973E4B9917A8c9dAe0. It appears this one was used to deposit USDC into Circle.
In conclusion
This is my case and I'm sticking to it! The research is all my own.
It's my belief that 0x3E8e470972291783a91de529454d366349810425 is an unidentified Alameda Research wallet. This wallet appears to only do transactions in USDC and ETH. No other tokens were used in any of the transactions.
If I'm in the wrong here or completely miss-identified this wallet I have 0 problems with you making your own case, against me!
