Hey guys, It appears that the Tether Hack has been orchestrated by the same person who hacked Bitstamp for 19000 BTC back in January 2015.

Wallet: https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/12f4885dad525cc1

The wallet has made two transactions, the first was more of a test..

Later it sends out 0.01BTC:

The next day, Another 0.01 was sent to the address used to empty the Tether wallet:

Its believed that these small deposits were used to test that everything was running smoothly.

At 10:53, several transactions sent 23 million tethers from the tether wallet:

Then at 11:10 they transfer another 7.9 million tethers. A further 50,000 tethers are transferred over at 11:54.

At 12:01, 5BTC (the bulk of the bitcoin in the tether wallet) is transferred over to the same address:

Wallet: https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/e7e09cd092a5febdcae6b2ec76b06389c29298ed237dd1f210e1e54f096f1f92

These tethers are then transferred over to the address in the Tether announcement as their relevant blocks are confirmed.

Wallet: https://omniexplorer.info/lookupadd.aspx?address=16tg2RJuEPtZooy18Wxn2me2RhUdC94N7r

The 5BTC is transferred to this address:

Wallet: https://www.walletexplorer.com/address/31okFF1rUu8jjPEVuajycTRBp82Nteo4Mv

Following the BTC along, you arrive back at an address from before, which is confirmed to be part of the wallet holding the stolen Tether:

The Bitcoins stolen from the Wallets have ended up in these three addresses.
